George Conway declares republican party is a CULT

[Tigbitties38]

George Conway says republicans are a cult.

He should know. He is a long time, prominent republican.

"Trump is out for vengeance — and to protect himself from prosecution"

"He was always going to run. Absent incarceration or interment, and perhaps only the latter, he inevitably would seek the presidency again. His narcissism, his megalomania, his delicate yet illimitable ego, would have it no other way.

Donald Trump craves the power. Even more, he craves the attention. And more than ever — after an unprecedented two impeachments, a humiliating reelection defeat that he can’t even admit, and amid multiple criminal investigations and civil suits — he seeks vengeance. The l’état c’est moi president who apparently tried to sic the IRS on his enemies (and perhaps succeeded), and who tried to extort Ukraine into smearing Joe Biden, can’t wait to get back on the job.

Trump won’t succeed, as his successive losses of the House, Senate, presidency and last week’s midterm results show. Too many Americans would crawl on broken glass to vote against him, no matter who his general election opponent may be. They have seen enough.
That goes also for many Republicans, particularly the sophisticated ones. Their views were succinctly stated by Marc Thiessen just the other day: “Mr. President, it is not in your interest to run in 2024. If you do, you will likely lose. And you will destroy what remains of your legacy in the process. Please, don’t do it,” Thiessen begged.

Legacy? Trump has none, other than his impeachments and the stain of Jan. 6, 2021. He’ll never be remembered for much else. Historians will perpetually rank him as among the worst — if not the worst — in the presidential pantheon. As they should, befitting a man who, despite having sworn an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, did his level best to destroy it.

Trump can’t ruin a legacy he doesn’t have, but he could easily wreck something else: the Republican Party. Which is why so many in the GOP are, at long last, so alarmed. And why Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, the right-wing donor class and so many Republican Party operatives seek an alternative. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, they hope, will save the day.
That’s unlikely. DeSantis is popular, to be sure, and won a victory last Tuesday far exceeding anything Trump could ever achieve. But the problem is that the GOP is no longer just a political party — it’s something of a cult.

One Republican pollster taxonomizes the party thusly: Ten percent are “Never Trumpers,” who have long despised Trump. (This might be high, because of people like me who re-registered as independents to escape the cult.) As many as 50 percent could be considered “Maybe Trumpers,” Republicans who voted for Trump twice, but are exhausted by him and would love to support someone else. That leaves 40 percent, the “Always Trumpers” — the cultish voters who will never abandon him, even if he shoots someone on Fifth Avenue, or at the Capitol, or anywhere else.

The math means Trump can only be bested for the GOP nomination in a contest that’s one-on-one from the outset. Given the delegate rules, 40 percent could be enough to win a multicandidate race.
DeSantis would have a chance to beat Trump one-on-one, but why should he try? He’s ambitious to be sure, but running against Trump would be a brutal mud bath. To beat Trump, an opponent would have to go after Trump hammer and tong, battering his ego to trigger him into narcissistic, self-defeating, unhinged rages. That would be fun to watch: Hey, Donald, where’s the wall? Where’s that check from Mexico? Why did you stand by your buddy Anthony S. Fauci for so long?

But does DeSantis have that in him? We don’t know yet. He’s not the accomplished orator some make him out to be. Most importantly, he’s only 44. He’ll be 48 when he serves out his new gubernatorial term in 2026. Why not just sit back and keep building his war chest? Even if DeSantis wins the 2024 nomination, he’ll wind up with the Always Trump 40 percent hating his guts. The alternatives for the GOP aren’t pretty: Another national defeat led by Trump, or intraparty civil war.

But if you think that’s great for the rest of us, I’ve got bad news for you. A big reason Trump announced his run is he fears criminal prosecution. He’s a desperate man, a threatened and rabid animal, who could face multiple indictments (the stolen classified documents, Georgia) over the next year.

He thinks running for president, and the specter of violence from his fringiest supporters, will protect him from the prosecutors. If he’s indicted, he promises “problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before.” And he’ll make good on that promise: As Sen. Mitch McConnell said last year, Trump was “determined” to “torch our institutions on the way out” in January 2021, merely because he lost an election.

So just imagine what Trump would do to stay out of jail."

MR. conway doesn't know what hes tallking about.

you had a calm, understated way of saying that

Who is George Conway and why is he relevant?

[oilfieldace]

Ok a light bulb went off, it’s a known fact his feelings about Trump, he is like a few of the idiots in the forum insignificant and not relevant

[the_real_Barleycorn]

George Conway is who? and why does his opinion matter? As for the cult thing, is Conway some kind of counselor or mental health professional. Is he just a run of the mill asshole?

[Tigbitties38]

And of course no one tries to refute anything he says.
Other than lying about him. He never told his wife he would divorce her if she kept working for trump.
Trump supporters hate George Conway. They can't catch him lying because he doesn't.
He points out the trump lies tells people about the trump grift machine. Trump hasn't used his PAC money for Republican candidates/election expenses as much as legal fees for lawsuits against him.

The lack of information forum posters have about Conway shows that they aren't well read and that they use knee jerk reactions to information they haven't encountered before that blows up their narrative.
Try to stay on topic. You won't find Conway on fox.

[Tigbitties38]

Just another subject you are clueless about. Educating you is your job, not mine.
If you know nothing about him, why comment about him? If you don't know how to research a subject, it's just one more area you're lacking knowledge in. Just one more thing you'll pretend to know about.

He most likely knows more about the man than you do, and I am pretty sure he isn’t parroting the incredible lies and bull shit spread by CNN and MSNBC.

CONWAY IS LIBERAL MORON

[Tigbitties38]

A liberal? Sounds like he knows the same as you. Nothing.
Anybody who gets their news from the tv (like you get yours from fox) shows they can't think for themselves. Since you only watch fox, how do you know somebody is parroting someone else?
You need to provide proof of your statements.
Otherwise you're just another trumpy.
Start your own thread to discuss parroting fox or any other media site.

Another stone thrown from the man in the glass house. I am surprised you even have a light bulb. If you do it takes quite a big effort to screw it in.

What gives you the idea the The Washington Post is a reliable news source? That’s a foolish idea, but from you it’s to be expected
