Thomas L. Friedman’s Plan to Split the GOP to Beat Trump

RUSH: New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman says he knows how to beat Trump in 2020. It has to be a political defeat, he says, not impeachment. Impeachment would say that we’ve lost our minds and we can’t have anybody knowing the Democrats have already done that, can we?

No, Friedman admits that defeating Trump is gonna be hard, because Trump “can bend people” to his will like magicians bend spoons. Friedman’s “solution” is a Republican Never Trumper on the ballot in all 50 states who runs against Trump from the political right. And that is Friedman’s mistake, but I’m not going to explain that.

And the Republican Never Trumpers like it. They’re talking about doing it. Putting a Never Trumper on the ballot to siphon just enough Republican votes away from Trump guaranteeing whoever the Democrat nominee is will win.

Thomas Friedman is not at all thinking his own party is gonna break up or is fracturing. They think they’re totally unified. They think they’re more united than they’ve ever been because they all despise Donald Trump. And he doesn’t think the primary is gonna fracture the Democrat Party. He thinks they’re all gonna unify behind Biden. Mark my words. This is an effort to deny Trump reelection, and they sadly have some Republicans putting this idea into play.
