Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Watch him still jump in if it's looking bad for Trump on the legal front.
I think the right has made their bed with trump and we are going to watch this mess play out. But, say for whatever reason trump is out, he definitely might try to jump in there. I don't think he's well known though and he would struggle to get broad support.
The right has a big maga problem and they know it. If they try to go anti maga they lose a huge chunk of their base. If they go pro maga extremist they aren't going to win independents and swing voters and it's lost.
They understand trump is their only shot at a unified party. They need the white supremacist vote to even remotely stand a chance and those traitors have hitched their wagon to trump.
In subsequent elections though I think he will be a potential threat. He is an expert at appearing like a Christian family man that is eloquent and respectable. For their own sake they need to get back on track to where they run decent appearing candidates that can fool voters. In another reality he definitely would be a major threat to Biden because he's younger and appears like a decent family man. If they had their shit together they would recognize he really is their best chance. They just can't shake the maga cult extremists. They sold their soul to them to win in 16 and have been paying for it every election since.
Until they cut out that cancer, sweatervest mcdipshit isn't enough of an extremist racist to win their vote. Again make no mistake, he is an extremist racist, just not enough of one that they will back him.
