The Last Thing Republicans Want is Trump Running for Reelection

“Senators Tom Cotton and Ben Sasse have already been to Iowa this year, Gov. John Kasich is eyeing a return visit to New Hampshire, and Mike Pence’s schedule is so full of political events that Republicans joke that he is acting more like a second-term vice president hoping to clear the field than a No. 2 sworn in a little over six months ago.
[…]
But the sheer disarray surrounding this presidency — the intensifying investigation by the special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and the plain uncertainty about what Mr. Trump will do in the next week, let alone in the next election — have prompted Republican officeholders to take political steps unheard-of so soon into a new administration.”

And Pence is of course lying when he says he hasn’t considered running in 2020.

Are liberals really going to repeat the "Trump isn't a serious candidate for President" failed narrative, again?

There you are doing the same stupid shit you always do; tell us how we are thinking and what we should be doing to save ourselves. Then we do the opposite and kick your asses.

We're going to have to listen to another round of Trump isn't seriously going to run. Followed by a round of Trump hasn't got a chance in this field of candidates. Followed by Trump can't win against whoever.

Then he wins.
