Every time we read a story like this there’s just nothing to believe. Nobody specific was quoted, no sources were cited, and even if actual Republicans actually said the things that the article claims they said, they could be doing so in order to drum up stories, stories like this one, that are not true.
It’s basically irresponsible journalism.
Didn’t some kid beat them to the punch a month or two ago?

Not even with 2020 level energy would I consider it possible for him to try again in 2028. He’s already the oldest, and he fucking SHOWS IT. He would not get the votes to try again. Even the most die hard would have to see he’s a loser and move on by then.
They might still think he’s right, but they have to know he just can’t hang at this point. He’s not gonna be around in the “living former president” club long either in my estimation. Which is based on nothing, to be fair, but it’s my guess.
I would not be shocked to learn that their plan is -
- Fake win
- Let him actually get shot
- Puppet JD takes office
until death do they part
