The Atlantic’s Coppins: I’ve Heard Many Republicans Say ‘I Can’t Wait’ for Trump To Die
‘It just speaks to the desperation in the party right now’
RUSH EXCERPT:
COPPINS: “Yeah, I mean, should also note his parents both lived into their late 80s or early 90s. One former Republican congressman described this strategy to me as actuarial arbitrage and literally said he has spoken to many Republicans who will put on the red hat and campaign for Trump and go up on stage with him and then the next day say I can’t wait for this guy to die. That’s a direct quote. So I was taken aback by how often I heard this. I thought it was a morbid, dark joke, but I heard it so often it started to become clear this was what a lot of Republicans believe and it just speaks to the desperation in the party right now.”
