GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy says Trump should drop out of the 2024 presidential race
The Louisiana Republican said he thinks the charges related to the former president’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office are “almost a slam dunk."

Anyone capable of reading English should come to this conclusion after reading the indictments, just saying.
I'm glad the Senator from Louisiana can read! 👍
Sadly, it seems some of our other senators cannot.
These are all written as "speaking indictments" for good reason - they spell out the charges and reasons for them, simply and understandably, for anyone to understand. Yet most won't bother, and that's sad.
Classified Documents indictment
They got Clinton for lying about cheeting on his wife, only after trying to get him for Whitewater but failed. Ken Star used his powers to investigate ANYTHING but only found a secret blowjob. If Clinton hadn't lied, there would have been absolutely nothing he could prove in court. Not saying that the Clintons were/are clean, just that there's nothing to pin a conviction on.
The Georgia one is pretty dry compared to the Special Counsel ones.
I still read it ofc, but it was kinda dry.
I'm sure just like Ted Cruz he's going remain consistent and not immediately flip to defending Trumps crimes once Trump wins the nomination.
I was about to say! Just waiting for the jump cut to next spring when this guy is officially endorsing Trump for the nomination.
He should drop out of the human race.
He did a long time ago. But having human characteristics doesn't seem to be among the criteria under consideration for Republicans when choosing a candidate for President.
Uh huh. And where you after Jan 6th, and your party shut down direct consequences?
Fuck you.
Cassidy was one of the few Republican votes to impeach after Jan 6th.
I stand corrected. I didn't recall his name on the list, but you're right. He at least gets a little respect from me.
He was still afraid to say he wouldn't vote for Trump, he just said he wouldn't vote for Biden and would vote Republican. So.... if Trump is the Republican candidate, what will he do? Note vote at all? Or... the obvious logical conclusion to his non-answer?
Such cowards.
Fuck I hope mango fuckstick runs as an independent against the GOP candidate. Glorious split vote.
Honestly, I worry most about what would happen if the GOP unites behind someone that isn't Trump in name (ie, with Trump completely out of the picture), but is effectively the same person. I think Trump doesn't have a chance of winning the general election. He's too despicable for anyone with even a little bit of morals. But a replacement could give right leaning people an excuse to vote for the GOP again, even if the replacement is basically just the same thing but less overt.
The issue the GOP faces electorally is that they can really only win if they have both Trump loyalists and mainline Republicans. They HAVE to do the bullshit they are doing where they advocate for other candidates but wont denounce Trump. What they have to be hoping for is for him to die or become somehow unable to run at all, and that when faced with the impossibility he endorses the GOP candidate. He will never do that no matter what happens, which is nice because that means they likely wont get the White House for 4 more. But things stopped making predictable sense long ago so who the fuck knows what is gonna happen
What he fails to realize is that none of that matters when you're the head of what is arguably the largest cult in human history.
Pssh. Mao, Mohammed, Jesus leave him in the dust.
What's amazing about Mao was how many counterculture types in the West supported him and quoted from the Little Red Book while he was murdering half of China. Sort of feels like Tankies and Putin and Xi these days.
His whole campaign is a scam. Guessing if he drops out he will lose tons of money.
If he drops out, he can't get elected and pardon himself. He's trying to save himself at this point. Although no pardon would help him in Georgia. The president can't pardon state-level crimes.
I think there's a very small possibility he won't be on the Georgia ballot for legal reasons, but I don't think he'll drop out.
He likely has a bunch or campaign loans that go bad if he drops out.
Bill Cassidy is still a fuckwad. Watch the whole interview and the other bullshit he said.
Looks like he's not planning on running for relection. Going to spend more time with the family
This may come across as a wild idea, but I’d settle for not prosecuting him if he never participates in politics again. Like not even a political tweet.
Nope. Bury him under Leavenworth.
He attempted to end our country.
He stole documents that probably got a ton of assets killed in enemy countries.
He stole documents that had highlighted our capabilities and readiness, as well as our allies.
Bury him under Leavenworth after he dies making little rocks out of big rocks.
Letting Nixon quit rather than be empeached and imprisoned is why so many republicans, rightfully, think they're completely above the law.
Would you let a murderer off if they promised to never kill again?
Oh hell no.
This is not a smart idea, his Qult will just treat that as "big government" censoring their Messiah, and he would never stick to it, he's far too narcissistic for that.
Also he's 77, in poor health, there's so many people who were involved in the election theft attempt and January 6 who are much younger and need to be prosecuted as they are lingering threats to our democracy.
