It is the same GOP that are standing against Trump. Most of his cases are getting thrown out by Republicans

In states like Georgia its Republicans standing for the rule of law and against Trump wishes

You hope the GOP is dead but it won't just wait till 2022
What makes you so confident about 2022 favouring the GOP?

We have governors shooting down lies
Charlie Baker, Larry Hogan, Brian Kemp etc are all elected Republican governors against Trump openly.

All Republicans will not see things the same way especially when a sitting presidents interest is involved
Please remove that disgrace of a governor called Brian Kemp from the list.
What is keeping the GOP afloat is what they gain from redistricting/gerrymandering.

Ibime is very correct the GOP is playing a very dangerous game like it or not.
You are talking about the far left forgetting that the far right is much worse.

Exactly they hate buhari for oppressing there biafra wants, but they love trump for oppressing minorities

They hate buhari for putting mostly notherners in postions of power, but love trump that put mostly white men in positions of power

They hate buhari for pandering to nothern muslims, fulani herdsmen and there foolishness. But love trump that panders to southern christians and there idiocy.

They hate buhari for ordering operation phyton dance to kill biafra youths, but love trump when he sends the armed force to attack protesters, because he wants to take a photo op opposite the street.

I could keep mentioning, thats just a few similarities between mr trump and buhari

Both are biased motherfvkers.

If you love one and hate one, you are an idiot.

And someone tells me there is hope for the GOP.

Yes they will still win elections thanks to redistricting and other avenues they use in creating districts.

But there will have to be a shift in their ideology or policies they will shift far right grin and will have to accomodate the Trump deplorables because they will take over the party.
Unless something drastic is done(I doubt it)they are doomed.

Funny. I like Bubu more than the opposition but hate trump for his deplorable behaviour. If bubu behaved like trump, Nigeria right and left would be at war and the center would be calling for his head.

On December 1, 2017, Flynn and special counsel Robert Mueller agreed to a plea bargain in the District of Columbia's U.S. District Court. In the agreement, Flynn pleaded guilty to "willfully and knowingly" making "false, fictitious and fraudulent statements" to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia's ambassador. In the Statement of the Offense to which Flynn agreed, he said he falsely denied that on December 29, 2016 he asked Russia's ambassador to the United States Sergey Kislyak "to refrain from escalating ... in response to sanctions that the United States had imposed against Russia that same day." Flynn's guilty plea acknowledged that he was cooperating with the Mueller investigation, and it was accepted by the court.

Actually there are Rubio,Mcconell,Cruz,Cotton etc.
What if Trump and his croonies stick around.
There are republicans like Gingrich and Cotton that are like Trump and far right do you think they will go to their hideouts Trump has emboldened them.
Trump may go but he has spread his virus among many of them.
I used to think like you too growing up I supported GOP policies apart from guns and later on had an ideological shift and became liberal and support the democrats but that said I still support sane/healthy politics.
America is so polarised the politics especially the GOP is now toxic.Also I thought Trump would lose in a wide margin and the American people will overwhelmingly reject Trumpism but over 70 million people believe in Trumpism you will agree with me that this is very bad and will not be eradicated now.Trumpism is not dead it lives on after Trump and misinformation/conspiracy theories will keep spreading this virus and the GOP will become their tent.
Some republicans need Trump's base and will not change overnight because he lost have you not seen the recent tweets of Marco Rubio because of 2024 he wants to be a populist there are many more GOP leaders like him they will not rebuke Trump's base or stop misinforming them they will continue because they want power and want to win elections.
David Frum once said that if conservatives don't win in democracy they will reject democracy and this is happening already because they have started delegitimising the elections,the executive,legislature and judiciary

So you think the GOP is dead? If they are bond together under a less divisive character.

We will all be alive in 2022

No, I don't thing the GOP is dead.

I just think if Trump doesn't end up in jail or disappear from American political space, he will so mess up the party to the extent that the founders of GOP will not recognize it again. Except the likes of Bush and Romney give it a hard fight...but presently, the numbers favor Trump. And he might still be calling shots for a long time.

Exactly ill take bubu over atiku, but come 2023 if its atiku and el rufai or tinubu

Definitely ill take atiku, why wouldnt i

But the fearful thing is

Atiku - is a con businessman, that wants to sell nnpc to his family and friends, the same way they did nitel and nepa. And both disappeared.

El rufai - is a jihadist, with no reasoning, more like a dictator

Tinubu - he would work oooo, he would do things, but if tinubu becomes president, forget Nigeria as it is. He would turn it to his personal country, the same way he turned lagos to his property and he would loot the whole cbn. After his 8 years, only APC members would become president for the forseeable future. But he would work

So definetly ill take atiku, ill cover my nose and vote for him.

I agree with your views on all of them.

Even though I dont want any of them, but if I must pick, I will not pick Atiku over Tinubu, They are both legendary thieves, but Tinubu is better because he will at least work for many while Atiku will only benefit few.

But I honestly wish and pray that Nigeria will not be limited to these same set of people in 2023... I pray there will be a real change.

While it is not likely for Trump supporters to vote for Democrats; but in the event Trump supporters only allow "Trumpians" candidates to emerge for GOP, the moderate-right might continue to rebel, either they continue to vote for Democrats or just abstain.

And on the other hand, if the moderate-right wins back the core of the party, many Trumpians might loose interest in politics and go back to their caves where they were hiding before Trump pushed them out.

So the road is not that clear for GOP's future.

That is a crime? In as much has you added seasoning to your wording.

But what part of he was setup do you not understand?

Flynn pleaded guilty n that was mainly cause of his son, later he withdrew his guilty plea.

Plea came n later it was discovered he was setup... Do you know how time-line works?

A guilty plea is a deal. If you know you have been setup and it's your words vs the corrupt fbi the least you can do is take a deal and serve less time. But since he can prove they set him up thanks to Sidney powel he withdrew the guilty plea.

He was setup... They got caught, he Is a free man and if you don't like it no one cares
