Trump is feasting on a dying GOP, Juan Williams

[Phil1111 1,182]

Juan Williams is a FOX media reporter. This story is the latest from The Hill so no paywall. '

"But what if this backstabbing among Republicans makes sense to Trump?

What if Trump’s lie that the election was stolen is fatal to the GOP but gives him new life with an infusion of money from the hard-right conspiracy crowd, the most gullible Republicans?

Then there is a method to the madness.

Here’s the proof that Trump may be on to something."

Williams never comes right out to a end game of all this trump maneuvering. “Save America.” is trumps new PAC that has raised over $127 million that trump can spend anyway he wants. What if he is trying to kill the GOP and start a new trump branded political party? Split the trump Save America party off while cannibalizing the GOP at the same time. If he does everything possible to damage GOP senators in Georgia. He can bide his time till midterms, all while peddling more conspiracy theories.

Its a merry Christmas in Moscow, Tehran and Pyongyang.

I guess I just don't get these never-ending claims that Trump is playing 8-dimensional chess with a grander plan.  His shallowness has been on display forever!  He's not trying to cannibalize the GOP, they're just collateral damage in his war against having lost something and not being able to buy or bully his way to his desired outcome.  He couldn't give two shits if he does take them down, but it's not a conscious effort.

Sure Lippy. I suppose you think Q is untrue as well.

Of course its not chess. trump can't remember the rules of checkers. Its all about the money. He's had a taste of Washington money, swamp money where you collect millions for doing nothing but peddle worthless claims and lies. Then wait for tax free money to pour in.

The GOP has no backbone but the odd person stood up and called him out. In his mind thats treason. In his party everyone says yes, pays homage and sends in buckets of cash. He gets rallies where every lie and threat is cheered.

And he does. His people love him and they are many. Thankfully not quite as many as have learned to hate him. There is very little middle ground.

I agree.

The idea that this is all some part of a big 'master plan' completely ignores the very clear fact that Trump has NO PLAN. None. 

He just reacts and does what his instincts tell him.

And, I have to admit, he's pretty good at it. His ability to read people and tell them what they want to hear, so that they put money in his pockets is impressive.

But to form a new party?
One that siphons off the more gullible Rs?
One that ends up undermining the Republicans as a party?

Ha. 

Trump's 'Gimme Da Money' Pac is just another scam. He's going to siphon off the money, use it on his own companies, pay his kids huge salaries, all the same shit he's done with his other campaign money. 

And, in the overall picture of things, $200 million isn't all that much. It pales in comparison to the big money that comes in. 
I highly doubt Trump will see any of that sort of money again. 

Those donors are completely stupid. They've learned their lesson.
One of those big donors is suing to get his couple of million back. 
It won't happen, but that level of donor isn't going to give up any more money to a lost cause.
