Republicans are 'so scared' of challenge to Trump they're changing primary rules: Conservative colum

[UCmeNdc]

The Washington Post’s conservative columnist told MSNBC on Friday that Republicans were terrified of a primary challenger to President Donald Trump, and explained how the party was going to extreme lengths to prevent anyone from entering the field.

Host Craig Melvin asked Rubin for her read on Maryland’s Republican Governor Larry Hogan, who’s coyly said he’s considering a primary challenge if “the president’s political standing within his own party weakens dramatically.”




“One thing that is significant is Republicans are so scared of a challenger, they’re attempting to change the rules in some of these primaries to make it more difficult for someone to compete,” she said. “That suggests that they’re nervous about the president’s standing.

Very dictatorship like mmmmmmmm?????

1. In other words, someone who is clearly a traitor, selling our nuke secrets to the enemy

which attacked us on 911, they love this traitor so much they will all but destroy their party to keep him in power.

Therefore, I submit to all, the GOP is an enemy of the USA and we are still not acting like it.

[RKP5637]

3. Definitely!!! Today's " ... GOP is an enemy of the USA ..." n/t

[Brawndo]

5. Better to let them remain the antagonists

They've allowed propaganda to convince them that 60% of this country are their enemies. They are vastly outnumbered. Whether at the ballot box or the battlefield, they lose.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Oh sure, lets just wait for them to sell our nuke secrets to SA and for them to bomb us

as long as we dont upset them or cause them any problems. uh huh

[Brawndo]

9. And I thought I was an alarmist

Of all the concerns we are facing, I believe being nuked by Saudi Arabia is pretty far down the list. The clear and present dangers are domestic in nature.

[Eliot Rosewater]

12. Oh HELL FUCK yes I am an ALARMIST...maybe not so much being NUKED by SA but

surely being fucked over in every other way by them and rump and the GOP and every breathing con other than Mueller!

[Brawndo]

13. With so many villains around, it forces one to prioritize the threats

We may differ on which to handle first but I think our weapons are pointed in the same direction.

[Ohiogal]

2. They must be awfully delusional

He could be forced to resign in disgrace or even in prison in the span of 2 years.

Like a bunch of lemmings scurrying over the cliff, aren't they?

[RKP5637]

4. Republicans are gutless and led by the nose for authoritarian rule. Follow the leader

right over the cliff, like a bunch of little lemmings. Where are the ones that trashed tRump continuously during the GOP primaries ... hiding under his coattails, afraid of their rabid constituents ... so willing to destroy the country and the GOP for his 2020 run it seems.

[gratuitous]

8. This is so short-sighted, it's practically blind

The startling lengths that establishment Republicans are willing to go for Trump defy explanation. They're either in total thrall to Trump's perceived greatness, or there's information out there so damaging to the party that maintaining the charade is all they can do even though they know it's doomed to failure. In that case, they're just putting off the swing of the million pound shithammer as best they can for as long as they can, but they know it's coming.

7. The Russians told him it's easier to steal one national election than 50 primary elections. -nt

[PTWB]

10. I'd like to see someone like Flake run as an independent just to piss in Trump's Cheerios

He would grab more than enough never Trumpers, moderate Republicans and conservative independents to guarantee our victory.

11. I was hoping Welp (R-MA) would run against him. He's well liked, even by Dems in MA..n/t
