Republicans’ Only Plan To Stop Donald Trump From Becoming Their Presidential Nominee In 2024 Is Hoping He Just Drops Dead
"With a Trump 2024 presidential run seeming more and more likely, plenty of Republicans are scrambling for a plan to get rid of the party’s very large, very loud, very orange albatross. Sadly, the best they’ve come up with so far is this: keep hoping he dies before the next election cycle begins.
