With the “invisible primary” for 2024 underway and no one but Donald Trump in the race, it’s increasingly clear he’s not going away unless some other candidate or candidates beat him over and over again in actual state primaries. ed_kilgore writes
This magical thinking pervaded my recent conversations with more than a dozen current and former elected GOP officials and party strategists. Faced with the prospect of another election cycle dominated by Trump and uncertain that he can actually be beaten in the primaries, many Republicans are quietly rooting forto happen that will make him go away. And they would strongly prefer not to make it happen themselves.
“There is a desire for deus ex machina,” said one GOP consultant, who, like others I interviewed, requested anonymity to characterize private conversations taking place inside the party. “It’s like 2016 all over again, only more fatalistic.” Republicans want Democratic prosecutors, an unsurvivable scandal, or even the Grim Reaper to sideline Trump. But with the “invisible primary” for 2024 now fully underway and no one but Trump in the race or even near the launching pad, it’s increasingly clear he’s not going away unless some other candidate or candidatesin actual state primaries .
