So tell me.   What's your solution?   What, at this point, will for shock-sure get us "out" of """this situation"""?  And please...

be realistic.

There's no helping your particular case of TDS.  It's actually a strain that's worse than the Democrats strain of the same disease.

Like I said at the outset and your knee jerk response to what I laid out has proven...you're not really concerned about the demise...you're only worry/hope/etc is that it's "your guy" in charge of it.

And that is, quite frankly, bullshit.

There's been a whole lot of alternative's offered.  But you're too invested in the myth of Trump to take off your orange colored glasses and see the reality of the situation.  You think he's a Saint sent from heaven.  You've said as much.  And in the past you've wished violence and retribution agaisnt people who didn't support Trump.

There's no dealing with or rationalizing with your kind of blind fealty.

I feel sorry for folks like you that worship Trump like you do.  No room for criticism or rational discussion about the way forward.

The only answer you accept for any question dealing with this country and it's problems is Trump.   Nothing else will be even considered.

@skeeter

Speaking for myself...and I know the usual irrational types will chime in to the negative...but I don't have a hate-on for Trump.  I've done exactly what I said I'd do...back him and defend him when he's right and criticize him when he's wrong.

IF that's considered "bile" then I don't know what to say.  :shrug:

Trump must,  like LBJ in 1968,  step down as the nominee to save both to save his own legacy and to ensure a future for his priorities.   
You need to explain that one, since LBJ was in a different party than is Trump and definitely did not save both his legacy and ensured a future for his priorities as Nixon was elected. 

Perhaps you are believing Nixon was saving LBJ's legacy?

He just accused ME of "Trump worship", FFS.   How absurd.  I mean....normally I'd say I want some of what he's smoking, but at this point, I think I really don't.

Not smoking anything.  Just calling it how I see it.  You din't think anyone BUT Trump can do anything about what ails this country.  You rejected perfectly logical replies to what you were saying.

You don't think a change in leadership will help.  You're only "hope" is that the decline can be slowed with the people we have in place instead of trying to find a way to reverse it.

What else is anyone to deduce from that?

To solidify the GOP, we definitely do NOT need to continue electing the same people until they are octogenarians.  Much better to produce new younger talent on a continuous basis.

Step down when that replacement is found.

That is the problem occurring right now with the Dems.  The new younger breed vs the old timers who feel they deserve to be where they are forever.

Your off the charts hyperbole aside....  you're seeing things all wrong.   

Realistically, there is no other GOP candidate that will have a chance of beating the rats next year.   I don't know of ANY GOP candidate that could win.  Realistically, the only "change in leadership" that can occur next year is the rats defeating the GOP.  And realistically, with enough folks like you thinking like you do...

that probability is increasing drastically.

But seriously dude... calling me a Trump worshiper has destroyed any credibility you might have had with me.  We're done.

All you weak kneed folks worried about the Senate being lost, on what basis?  There is nothing to suggest such a scenario is in the making.
Sorry to bust your bubble but when the GOP has 22 up for grabs vs only 12 for the Dems, the GOP is indeed more susceptible.

Only when these seats are up can they be lost.

You are better than that. People standing upon principle are not pouting.
What is it you expect to gain from such language?
Because I assure you - Your words do not benefit your cause.

Amen!

Those who accuse people with consistent values and principles of "doing nothing," or "pouting, " or whatever, are losing their own argument.
