Impeachment is as close as we have, an unfortunately Americans tend to regard the presidential primary as sacrosanct in a superstitious manner, so it's rarely used. Even if a president commits obvious high crimes and misdemeanors, as was the case recently, people are reluctant to severely punish him.

They need his groupies to get re-elected - their policies aren't appealing to moderates, so they're stuck riding the Trump bandwagon for as far as it will take them.
Right now, that approach looks less than promising, but what's their alternative? Support policies that would help their constituents rather than enrich a few billionaire CEOs? Come on, that's never going to happen.

Agreed. The GOP is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Dump Trump (and his groupies by extensions) and definitely lose in the upcoming elections or keep Trump and his motley crew and possibly lose the upcoming elections.

If they don't dump Trump, the GOP is going to lose elections for at least a generation, similar to what happened after the Great Depression for the better part of 50 years.

It’s the same disease as Trump has, don’t think long term, just make it through the next news cycle. After that worry about the following news cycle.

As of now, DJT is in deep political trouble. Recent polling in individual states—which is far more meaningful than nationwide surveys—show Joe Biden with significant leads in WI, PA, MI, AZ, NC, and even FL. If Trump loses FL, he has no pathway whatsoever to 270 EVs. And as unexciting as Joe is, he beat Trump in fundraising in the last quarter.
Biden Outpaces Trump As Campaigns Report Record Fundraising
One thing Joe has going for him is that he’s not Donald Trump. Voters are sick and tired of Trump’s drama. They just want some normalcy.

No, they did not agree with reality. My opinion had very little to do with it. You may be projecting.

Not only that, Trump's policies will harm most of his supporters economically. Trump always has been a rather talented con artist.

Well that is too bad. You probably did not learn anything from your errors then either.

Actually no I did not learn anything, I already knew that there are people who feel that their beliefs are threateded will not accept facts that do not agree with their opinions.

Then you did waste your time. It is a pity. And sadly it is the facts that others will bring up that you can only deny. You could not find any facts that threatened anyone else. It is not about "opinions".
Do you want to go into depth on any of your claims? It is the only way to learn.

I hope so! It's got to the point where I've been so disgusted by his lies (up to about 36 per day last survey I saw?) that I think I almost get a kind of PTSD just hearing his voice!

"I think I almost get a kind of PTSD just hearing his voice!" I think that some people got relief by howling at the moon. You might want to try that because Trump is going to be around for another 4 years.

Why do so many American Christians automatically think that anyone from the Republican party is a saviour of the world - even a narcissistic sociopath like Donald Trump? He's just the worst! Also, polling badly. Also, the worst! Also, not really a true conservative because he doesn't even really know what that means - I mean, how many books has the guy even read?
