    I can’t wait for them to have the same kind of behavior that GOP voters did when they re-elected George Bush back in 2004.

    “He whuh” “Huh whuh” I voted for Trump whuh" As their head spins to see that he’ll do nothing for them when they believed that he would.

      I have a prediction to make.

      I don’t believe Trump will pardon most convicted Jan6ers.

      He might pardon one or two here and there, but the bulk will stay locked up.

      The reason is twofold:

      1. Most of the Jan6ers have nothing to bargain with, Trump won’t waste his time pardoning people who he can’t use…
      2. These are dangerous people, they have shown that they are willing to attack the government, and that is not what he would want now.

      Thing is a lot of those memories died when COVID hit the GOP constituency the hardest.
