The Louisiana Republican said he thinks the charges related to the former president’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office are “almost a slam dunk."
I’m sure just like Ted Cruz he’s going remain consistent and not immediately flip to defending Trumps crimes once Trump wins the nomination.
I was about to say! Just waiting for the jump cut to next spring when this guy is officially endorsing Trump for the nomination.
Uh huh. And where you after Jan 6th, and your party shut down direct consequences?
Fuck you.
Cassidy was one of the few Republican votes to impeach after Jan 6th.
I stand corrected. I didn’t recall his name on the list, but you’re right. He at least gets a little respect from me.
He was still afraid to say he wouldn’t vote for Trump, he just said he wouldn’t vote for Biden and would vote Republican. So… if Trump is the Republican candidate, what will he do? Note vote at all? Or… the obvious logical conclusion to his non-answer?
Such cowards.
Fuck I hope mango fuckstick runs as an independent against the GOP candidate. Glorious split vote.
Honestly, I worry most about what would happen if the GOP unites behind someone that isn’t Trump in name (ie, with Trump completely out of the picture), but is effectively the same person. I think Trump doesn’t have a chance of winning the general election. He’s too despicable for anyone with even a little bit of morals. But a replacement could give right leaning people an excuse to vote for the GOP again, even if the replacement is basically just the same thing but less overt.
The issue the GOP faces electorally is that they can really only win if they have both Trump loyalists and mainline Republicans. They HAVE to do the bullshit they are doing where they advocate for other candidates but wont denounce Trump. What they have to be hoping for is for him to die or become somehow unable to run at all, and that when faced with the impossibility he endorses the GOP candidate. He will never do that no matter what happens, which is nice because that means they likely wont get the White House for 4 more. But things stopped making predictable sense long ago so who the fuck knows what is gonna happen
They only have a chance of winning with the mainline and the loyalists, but they’ve got no shot without either. The problem they’re running into is that the loyalists are pursuing demands which turn away the mainline, e.g. abortion laws.
What he fails to realize is that none of that matters when you’re the head of what is arguably the largest cult in human history.
Pssh. Mao, Mohammed, Jesus leave him in the dust.
What’s amazing about Mao was how many counterculture types in the West supported him and quoted from the Little Red Book while he was murdering half of China. Sort of feels like Tankies and Putin and Xi these days.

If he drops out, he can’t get elected and pardon himself. He’s trying to save himself at this point. Although no pardon would help him in Georgia. The president can’t pardon state-level crimes.
I think there’s a very small possibility he won’t be on the Georgia ballot for legal reasons, but I don’t think he’ll drop out.
Bill Cassidy is still a fuckwad. Watch the whole interview and the other bullshit he said.
Looks like he’s not planning on running for relection. Going to spend more time with the family
