Republicans Fear Trump Will Sabotage The Party In 2024 Race

According to a new report from Vanity Fair, Republicans are starting to worry that Donald Trump will end up sabotaging the Republican Party in 2024 if he decides not to run again. This isn't unprecedented for Trump, as his anger at Mitch McConnell made him tell people NOT to vote for the two Republicans in Georgia's special Senate elections early this year, and Republicans are now afraid that they could see a repeat of this if Trump wants to punish Republicans for not listening to him. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

A new report from vanity fair suggest that Donald Trump and this is actually coming from Republicans who, uh, claimed to have spoken Trump. Donald Trump has no intention of ever actually finding a political heir. And I know you've probably heard me talk about, you know, who's going to be the heir to Donald Trump's political movement here. A lot of people think it's going to be Ron DeSantis, but as reports have said, uh, those closest to Trump has said he doesn't like to scientists.

And he thinks

DeSantis is not grateful enough to him for making him poppy Taylor, the report goes even deeper. It's not just about Donald Trump, not wanting an err. It's about the fear that these Republicans have that Donald Trump is somehow going to sabotage the Republican party in 2024, if he doesn't run for president. So there's the big F if Donald Trump runs for president, then there's no problem with the Republicans, right? They don't have to worry about him coming out and angrily attacking whoever their nominee is because the nominee would be. Hm. And I'm thinking based on what I've read in this report, and based on what you know, these Republicans close to Trump are saying,

Um, I think he's leaning towards not running.

I don't think we'd be getting reports like this. If Donald Trump was, you know, 100% dead set on running for president, again, we also have to keep in mind the very slim possibility that Trump might not be able to run, uh, depending on what happens with the New York investigation that is still going on.

So that's a possibility, but what these Republicans are worried about is they're

Assuming, okay, Trump doesn't run in this scenario.

So if he doesn't run, how

Accepting is he going to be of the eventual nominee? Is he going to get behind the individual,

Whoever it is, or

Is he going to let his hatred and anger for people like Mitch McConnell overflow to the point where he attacks the whole Republican party and says you deserve to lose because you don't listen to me now, you may think that's fine fetched,

But it's not okay because it literally already happened this year. Donald Trump

Was so upset with Mitch McConnell for not wanting to go along with the plan to challenge the electoral college votes that Trump, according to reports had come out and told Republicans do not vote for Leffler and Purdue in the Georgia special election that took place. You know, a couple of days before the insurrection do not vote for these people, send a message. Let the Democrats retake the Senate to teach Mitch McConnell a message or a lesson, excuse me, send him a message. Teach him a lesson. I don't know how I got that mixed up, but I did, but either way,

They're worried about another scenario of that. They're worried that whoever

The eventual nominee is, if they don't pay homage to Trump, if they don't bow down and kiss the ring, Trump may torpedo the whole thing.

And yes, that is a real possibility. Even if we

Didn't have history to base this on, you know, the, the Georgia special election where Trump did do this, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. Anyway, because this is who Trump is. He wants to be the face. He wants to be the body. He wants to be the figurehead of the Republican party, whether he runs or not.

And because of that, you to be a loyal

Republican these days and not faith, his face, his wrath, or face the wrath of other Republicans in Congress, you have to be loyal to him. That's where your loyalty lies. It's not to the constitution. It's not to your constituents. It's to that one, man sitting his fat down there in Mar-a-Lago, that's what it is. And if you don't do that, he is going to come after you. We

Have seen that we have seen it all year. So is he spiteful enough to give Joe Biden potential? Actually another four more years in the white house? Is he spiteful enough? Yeah. Yes, he is all of this hinges on that one big if, and it is if he doesn't run for president, because if he does again, no problem. The Republicans
