GOP senator insults Trump's 'signature professional achievement' in rant about dumping him

0

Donald Trump's inevitability as the Republican Party's 2024 presidential nomination is weighing on the minds of an assortment of GOP donors, campaign consultants and GOP lawmakers who believe he is headed for another loss.

According to a report from the Washington Post, even supporters for some of his GOP rivals for the nomination are privately conceding that their first choice won't be able to catch him and that, in turn, is leading to some grumbling about what awaits them in 2024.

As the report notes, central to their worries is the unprecedented "variable" of having a nominee who is not only facing multiple indictments but could have a conviction on his record when voters head to the polls.

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) who is backing the longshot bid of his home state Governor Doug Burgum (R) is conceding, "I just don’t see a path for anybody that’s not Donald Trump right now."

With the Post reporting, "In some parts of the party, including factions of the U.S. Senate and among some wealthy donors, there is less palpable enthusiasm for Trump," one U.S. senator went so far as to lash out at former president's background and predict doom and gloom for the 2024 general election.

Sen. Todd C. Young (R-IN) complained, "I’m still holding out hope that my fellow Republicans want to throw their support behind someone who has personal integrity, respects the rule of law, aims to unite rather than divide people and actually knows how to do the job well.”

Not content with that, he added, "Donald J. Trump’s signature professional achievement is as a reality television star and he’s lacking in every personal quality that I, and I think every other Republican, should want in a presidential nominee. Moreover he is the least likely to win a general election.”

The Post report added that "tension" about Trump is expected to be on full display this week as the former president's rivals hold their second debate while Trump holds a rally in Michigan.
