In reply to the discussion: Donald Trump is very ill. [View all]paulkienitz
(1,452 posts)A lot of GOP insiders have probably been itching to ditch Trump since before he was sworn in. They want a more sensible and common-sense single-party dictatorship without all the chaos and mess and financial ruin. But they're still scared of the rabid base, and the base follows him and no one else. They're desperately trying to balance the equation of whether their gains from tossing him into the Mt. Epstein volcano can balance their losses from having no one who they can depend on to rally the maga morons to support the new administration.
Trump has pushed other republicans into this same kind of dilemma many times before, and every time they've ended up concluding that they're stuck riding the Trump train all the way to the end of the line. But now, with his health failing. the track may finally be running out. And though they're very tempted, I doubt they'll change their ways... they probably won't make a move until he's actually in the hospital with a fair chance of never coming out.
