It is just a guess...but I believe a WAR..is coming in the Republican Party.

..Of course none of us will be involved, but the leaders of the GOP will..( in my speculation...) fight a fight like we have never seen before. Maybe 3 groups involved: Trumpers & Trump, vs McConnell & his clan...and moderates. (???) Maybe a 4th group..hard nosed Republican Conservatives vs the rest of them.

..No, I don't know who or when, but I am guessing after they return from Christmas break..When Trump has nothing to say about nothing. These Pukes are not nice people, and they will not be nice with each other. Of course Trump has never had anything to say...but that is a different discussion)..

..I am speculating that the ...WAR..will be for the control of the Puke Party or whatever they want to call it. But the bottom line is that this will be ugly in a way that few of us have seen. I am guessing that
they will fight the battle as if the world depended on it........

Maybe their world does depend on it. Some say that Trump will be part of it, but I think that now that Trump is an.... OFFICIAL ......".LOOSER." he will get lost and never found....

Hiding away working on his divorce and memories.....Yes, he will show up from time
to time..but he won't answer question...The press will ask him about the deaths he caused, and he will
not answer that one, & then..he argue about the "stupid media"...and look even stupider than usual..

Of course I could be totally wrong on this, but that is why this group is...."Creative Speculation" Of course I have been wrong before, but that is ok, because that is what we do in this group.. Maybe, just
maybe, on this one,.. I will be totally correct and then I can have a .......HUGE PARTY!!!!! & .............
............EVERYONE FROM DU IS INVITED!!!!......
.................oh well....back to the drawing board
for my next brilliant idea .......

to control the RNC's purse strings (he wants to put Jr in charge).
I'm sure not all republicans are in favor of this happening.

4. Fox GOP

In the short term I think you'll see the Fox type GOP try to circle the wagons. The Trumpers will try to get control of the RNC. And then there will be a small crowd of Lincoln Project types. It could last into 2022, but unless the Trumpers get ahold of the RNC, and it's access to money, I don't see them controlling much. Ultimately, the ability of any of them to truly get control of the party will be decided by who can win elections and who wins the nomination in 2024.

10. Whatever is left of so called ..."Moderate Republicans" they will emerge soon.

Some will say that they did " actively" support Trump, and some will say a lot of things that Trump did were "wrong.".....They will reemerge as total opponents to Trump. Some hanger on types will support Trump, but they will be in the minority. And yes, I believe there will be ....TOTAL WAR IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY..


.......AND Yes....we will all enjoy viewing the fight because that fight could destroy them for a few years..But no one knows what is going to happen at all. We can only guess as to what Trump will do and the response as to what he does.....Maybe, (again "maybe&quot after the electoral vote in a week or so, and Trump has "legally lost" is when the war will

..........Why these words, "...fight could destroy them for a few years...?...No there will be no total destruction of the Republican Party..New leadership will emerge and no one knows what will happen...Proof?

Proof: After McGovern's loss they said it was the total ..."destruction of the Democratic Party"..in 1972...So in 76
We got Jimmy Carter...who was a Democrat.....do you recall?..was that "total destruction"?
..Then Regan, Bush One, and then Bill Clinton 2 terms.....

Therefore, this will not "totally destroy the Republican Party" if history is the proof we need.
