It ain't happening we need a vote to get rid of nancy
Why? Would they be heard? Why can’t this nation support him and let this businessman not s corrupt politician do what he was ELECTED to do! Forget the next runner up! Until we start respecting our President now who would even want to run for the position. To much hatred
Oh Lord, another never-Trumper trying to pretend Trump is just an anomaly in the GOP.
2020 We need a Republican to challenge him RIGHT NOW!!!! Where the Hell is the GOP Stop this madman!
Why? Progressivism has won.
Good riddance
They would need to be squeaky clean, have thick skin, and the balls to shut trump up when he starts with his personal attacks on them.
The country needs a Republican to challenge Trump right now!
No need after Trump no male will ever be elected much less a republican
This country needs a conscious. It has supported Dictatorships, Apartheid, Wars, Occupations, Colonization, and Fascist regimes throughout the world. While at home, its citizens lack basic human rights like healthcare, free education, women's rights and equality.
The country needs to change term limits and this would have end !! 86 year old has no business being in charge of democracy
Lately, the overwhelming disapproval of Trump seems increasingly non-partisan. In fact, I see it as a testament to the deep, abiding faith of the American people. Within the American spirit dwells a righteous indignation that allows them to see pure evil in Trump's motives.
Yes you do, try someone with some morals this time
The GOP = Trump
I hope a Republican moderate woman who supports Bill of Rights, other parts of Constitution runs for President. Women soldiers served in Civil War. Women built planes, flew planes WW2. Soviet Union women served on Frontlines WW2. Soviet Union women dropped lot of bombs WW2.
I'll be more convinced to trust them on a mutual basis ONLY if the uncorrupted factions of the Rs ( I've seen some of them, they're in a pit of vipers) gather & are prepared to reform their party to weed out the corrupt decrepit obsolete racist/discriminate affiliated parasites.
F u u comi
No, we need a media that stops challenging his every bowel movement.
The Enemy of the People tries to stir more shit. Trump will be our President in 2020! No democrat can beat the best President in our history. I haven't seen a democrat that speaks like a true American citizen, they all talk like communists.
They are spineless.
Bad opinion
The country need a conservative challenge to WAPO the mouth of the DNC
Yes! We do
No thanks. We're happy for with what we have 👍
Forget 2020- that's way too late! I want Republicans to challenge FatNixon NOW!
Um no
More Fake News
Kasich is really the best choice out of both parties
Translation: 35 people running for the Democratic nomination & none of them stand a chance against Trump.
The Democrat should focus on the Senate too. how on earth did the GOP got even MORE seats in the Senate ? HELLO. A GOP majority in the Senate will continue to BLOCK anything from Democrats and protect trump. HELLO !!! WAKE UP.
WAPO ......GO BACK TO BED! WE HAVE OUR CANDIDATE! DONALD J TRUMP! DEAL WITH IT! Trump2020Landslide
The reason you say that? No democrat real or fabricated. can do well enough to win, and you know it! 😂🤡
Coming from the failing Washington Post
Trump really upsets the whole establishment
GOP needs to be disbanded. They are anathema to our democracy
Not that one Larry Hogan sucks!
Wow scarey looking mental cases are climbing on the Dem. platform for 2020. lmfao!! Big Comedy coming!!!
...Or a human
Pres. Trump will be the lone Republican running in 2020.The Dem's will have a circus on their side of the field.we can not wait?
Why? So we get another spineless sellout who won’t defend the border or protect 2A and 1a and 3a? No thanks.
Yes!!! And not Cruz
They are all a bunch of cowards aware of the damage this man is causing our country & not one of them has stood up to differ Trumps outrageous behaviors & antics
Lowest unemployment for black and latino lowest in recorded history. Economy highest in 40 years. ISIS destroyed . Try a few facts with your opinion
No, he needs to be long gone by then.
Who you got? Don’t make me laugh or roll my eyes. You know Trump is at 90% plus favorability in the so called Republican Party.
ResignTrump
If they haven't got the b*lls to oppose him, now. How can they run against him, in a campaign? The entire party treats him like a demigod!
If they don't get someone then they don't stand a cat in hell's chance of winning. You can fool the people once........
Don't care for any of your opinions. You're anti-trump
It should never have come down to depending on Republicans because they’ll choose party loyalty over doing the right thing every time. The man should never have been elected in the first place.
It reflects the World’s needs. Trump or just Donald?
🙄
I wouldn’t vote for any of these lame Republicans and don’t get me started on the Weasley Democrats
Why? So that they look as chaotic as the Dems going into the election. WaPo is so transparently desperate.
TRUMP2020. realDonaldTrump ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are all gone bye bye bye!!!! Bluewave2020 guaranteed. People are mad and they are going to turn out in droves. The Senate will also flip. This is insanity today. Beyond anything I ever could have imagined.. Horrific
I’d be surprised if America ever elected a Republican President again after this present fiasco comes to an end
How about we don't elect a Republican or Democrat. Maybe what we need is another party that is dedicated to the betterment of our country more than they are to the fattening of their bank accounts. Our country should be so much better than it is now. It's kinda sad really...
Trump isn't a Republican.
Please explain. The POTUS is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. Why would we want someone else? You really need a FACT section.
Did you say Weekly Standard? Well, that's no standard at all.
A Republican dedicated to our Constitution...are there any left?
ANY Republican would be supported until they win the nomination then immediately get trashed by the activist media. Still love how you losers helped Trump get the nomination thinking Hillary would win easy lol. Clowns
No we don’t
And apparently, it's an obese middle-aged white looking perpetually annoyed.
America was the world leader, now it’s a rogue nation, unreliable and flaky, with a president who is obviously unstable. GOP can’t be seen to put a candidate up against Trump, it would be admitting the obvious
The WP needs to denounce the devil which has taken you over!
Opinion: The country needs EVERYONE to challenge Trump in 2020... & all other times.
Just an opinion
What about we lock him up?
Of course! DEMS KNOW THEY CANNOT DEFEAT PRESTRUMP IN 2020
Maybe Trump won't be in the mix in 2020. There is a large possibility Trump may have been impeached, indicted or removed from office under the 25thAmendment for being a threat to our country. Trump is unfit and unworthy to lead our country.
The deplorables support trump 100% Liberals should stick to finding their own candidates. We all know cnn and are liberal propaganda outlets for the democrats. Stick to your own agendas.
Ask any Democrat, Ask the DEMS mouthpieces, the Fake News Media, surely they prefer NOT to run against PresTrump in 2020. DEMS CAN NOT DEFEAT PRESTRUMP IN 2020!
Yeah check how that worked out in 2016
Hell yes
The country needs a Democrat
There aren’t any.
The country needs the Republican Party to cease existing.
This country needs anyone to challenge trump now! His taxes, his secret conversation with Putin, his campaign finance, and illegal pay offs to porn stars for sex! How much shit is the American public supposed to take?
No it doesn’t. Let the GOP die a natural death.
Sure. That's what it needs. Lord above. GMAB
TRUMP DID A GREAT JOB.
I agree with that! Trump should not get the nomination.
jwgop
Sadly, not much thought put into this piece, dont waste your time reading
There were 16 republican candidates in the 2016 election and Trump smashed every single one of them. What makes you think he won’t do the same in 2020?
When will WaPo close? You’re all terrible, awful people.
NO way!
ANYBODYBUTTRUMP2020 johnkasich2020
Everything will change when POTUS does the declassifications. I've got my popcorn ready.
We don’t want a Republican anywhere near the White House again
You really don't get it....
Anybody would be better than Tinpot Trump.
Who is that guy in the picture?
Oh yes, the Harry Reid branch of the GOP will field a candidate to take out Mr. Trump. lolololol!
Is it going to take that long. Never seen such a lot of sad old white men. He called Cruz's wife a dog, but needed his help for reelection. List goes on and on.
YES!!!! Yes, we most certainly do!
“The 2018 midterm elections were a clear and unmistakable rebuke of the chaos of his first two years as president.” Really Steve, is that why they picked up seats in the Senate too?! Maybe it was 47 retirements & a list of unfulfilled promises that cost the Republicans the House?
25r624 The country needs Republicans to do their flippin’ jobs NOW. As in their sworn oaths of office, damn it. Correction: Yesterday!
Lol ... says the libtardian MSM!!
More liberal media BS
Hogan is sick; he won’t run
I'm Republican & if its not Trump I will not vote plain & simple.For me Trump or Nobody. & Never Mitt Romney he's a turncoat just like Flake, Coker, & the dead one.
No the country needs a leader who respects others and does not call others names.does not lie and realizes not all Americans are rich and white. No Republican fits that. Dems win..
I'm depending on Mueller to get rid of trump b4 2020. Pence will just be walking in circles.
No, the country needs the Democrats to take the Presidency and the Senate from the complicit and negligent GOP.
Trump will be injailbefore 2020 . His treasonous behavior ( siding with Russia and working for them) should be punished immediately ..,
Lindsey Graham is working on it...
Looks like you needed the gym John rather than beer.
Trump is the only president to get stuff done
I think that ship has sailed. They have appeased him for 2 years.
preferably one that is not a facist
Not possible
The gop is toast!
Yes they do!
I’m a Democrat in Maryland and believe that our Republican Governor and Lt. Governor are good examples of how the political party system should work. Although I don’t agree with all of the policies, I do agree with the professionalism.
Be nice if the party got its head out of the ground and came to their senses
It would be better if there is no challenger. 2020 should be a year of decimation for the GOP. It should take them decades to recover.
I agree. It won't work, but I agree.
If the SenateGOP HouseGOP continue to hold this Mexican stand off to please POTUS it will be the death of the Republican Party..may it RIP, no thoughts and prayers from we the majority of the people!
The Republicans need to not nominate trump for 2020.
The country needs no Repugs! Not one!
Someone to challenge Trump? No, please let there be a wide-open field of Republicans in 2020 because by then, one way or another, either already gone or having announced some reason to avoid an untenable/unwinnable reëlection campaign, Trump will be out of the picture.
The republicans need someone to stand up to T Rump now!
Just run trump please.
He had 17 Republicans challenge him just two years ago and they all got their asses kicked.
Washington DC needs a serious challenge to the - it deserves a real newspaper 📰
Amen
Nah, you had your chance with John Kasich and republicans blew that for a Russian money launderer. Democrats will Make America Great Again, literally !!
No, we don’t really. The country needs to stop bitching and let this man do his job like every other President and if we are fortunate enough we will have him for the next six years!
RepealandReplaceRepublicans
By the time 2020 arrives the Republicans will have zero credibility.
Nah.I am good.
This is laughable! gop realDonaldTrump TrumpShutdown TheGOPShutdown GOPShutdown
Republicans need an American to challenge Trump, but there are few in the party
Nah, the country needs Trump to wreck you socialists in a general election in 2020.
Good luck 👍 TheResistance
Maybe Mitt Romney could be persuaded. Respected. Dignified. Integrity. Opposite of Trump. But who would put himself/herself through the mud and viciousness of Trump’s invectives?
Really someone from the party too chicken to buck the most incompetent human to ever hold the Office. The party that has to win through voter suppression and fraud. The party that favors the wealthy above the average citizen? Just vote for the democrat.
No, we support Trump 100%! MAGA BuildTheWall
Why? They won’t have a chance.
There isn't anyone left in the Republican party. There is the Trump Nationalist Party, no one on the right stands up against the Nationalist rhetoric of the President or Steve King, not one has taken a stand to protect America against Russian attacks, and many more.
It doesn't matter if another republican runs against Trump. If Putin wants him in office again. He'll fix the election again
Republicans did enough, they can't stand up to a lunatic that destroying America and it's culture. Stay out the white house please.
In my opinion we need more Trumps after 2024..
Nope! Enough with Republicans!!!!
The country needs a competent, patriotic American who will put the country’s over a political party. Republicans currently serving need not apply.
The Republican Party is dead. The country needs a Republican like I need a cancerous growth on my brain. Until they rebuild a conservative Party with some modicum of integrity & rid it of the racists, traitors, religious zealots & oligarchs, the GOP can go to hell.
Well heck the elected communist GOP March goose step for fuhrer Trump this is the best they Got!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 TrumpLandSlide2020
The United States stands against fascism. As the land of the free the United States considers itself the natural enemy of fascism in all its forms across the world
McCain is dead so it’ll have to be a Democrat. TrumpRussia TrumpShutdown
He needs to be gone now!
Ha ha ha they eat there own.
More Socialists pretending to be Democrats in 2020. Let's go full Totalitarian and arrest all Republicans who disagree with us! Burn the Constitution. It's just written by a bunch of old white men anyway!
delusional.
Hey WaPo: 90% of Republicans support Trump 100%. Trump will not only be the Republican nominee, he will be re-elected by bigger numbers particularly if the Socialists nominate a left wing loon, which is probable. MJ
No, what America needs is to get rid of the blame America first liberal Democrats. The ones that can’t get over losing the last election. The ones who won’t secure our country and fight harder for illegals then they do for American citizens. RINOs too. Drain the swamp MAGA
Trump is great
Thank heavens we have to let us know what we need.
Rick Santorum is the man to bring down Trump
NO!! No more Republicans until they get their shit together and grow a pair
They are 100% cowards
A Repubican to challenge Trump will not make America great again. The ideology of the party is one of service to the rich and big business. A new face will be more of the same, one of deviciveness. Americans deserve better!
He's impressive. Can just imagine 'the missus' !
Some balls would be helpful!
The country needs a Republican to stand up to him, get a spine, think with your brain and not your wallet, and just put trump in his place now. Not 2020, do your job now.
Not the guy in the picture
I think the GOP needs to retire. I’ve never seen anything so wrong.
Hahaha.... exactly why would his voters do that There were just enough all over the country that wanted him and I think there are even more now.
So Hogan can spend federal funds on vouchers for private secular and religious schools? No thanks.
The country needs a strong person! Republican, Democrat, or Independent (Last independent President Millard Filmore 1850 - 1853, a member of the Whig Party)! George Washington was the only President not a member of any party!
No
And Steve King. And Gomert. And atone for Hastert.
Trump is the only president we've had who wasnt bought and paid for since Jefferson.
Interesting you chose 2 term Md Gov Hogan for this. He'd never make it past MAGA cult primary voters. He's too liberal of a Republican for them.
The country needs the Republicans to announce the dissolution of their party in 2020 and the establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission.
Lol! Another President Trump hating “opinion” by the totally biased President Trump hating so called journalist still unable to handle loss like grownup adults. Amazing
We’re losing the republic. The Constitution is being invalidated. Dictatorship is coming. Happens to all republics eventually.
The country needs to build a new White House and Capitol building on the Mexican border so the democrats can sit on the steps and watch the assault while they eat lunch.
Great speech from this fella
They have been neutered, spayed , ball less or whatever you want to call it they are not working for America. Only working dor the few I feel badly for workers effected by Trumps shut down and MEXICO is NOT paying we are promise made promise BROKEN!!!
😂😂😂 Good luck with that. It definitely won’t be Mitch. He’s a RINO, DS & a globalist croney.
No country needs to get rid of liberals
No...just...no. The Republican Party fell in line and towed the trump line. We don’t need a Republican
The country doesn’t need anymore Republicans. At all.
Trump isn't going to leave office.
The Republicans need to remove Trump from office before 2020 boo.
The country needs someone to stand up to Trump now and open the government!!!
I will go for that as long as they win
So fitting that Bill Kristol-lite ends up working for another garbage publication.
The party is finished - they have 2 years of unforgiving silence. Trust is long gone. Goodnight for many, many years.
To beat him in the primaries.
He will just belittle him to death and Republicans will support him anyway.
Oh fuck no. We have had enough of the corrupt GOP!
The GOP is dead to me for enabling this shit show to go on this long. Trump didn't drain the swamp, he created a deluge of shit that's going to take years if not decades to fix.
If the GOP want a chance to reclaim the many true conservatives to the party, this is a must.
Party politics mandates that you lie low when an incumbent runs for re-election. Hopefully we won’t get to that point. He should be impeached and indicted soon.
They need Republicans that have balls - no more party before country. It’s obvious that this President is either compromised or a crook.
The GOP should be disbanded and prohibited from ever existing again, like the traitors they are.
Nah... MAGA2020
Here's my opinion. Trump will be cooling his heels at Leavenworth penitentiary in 2020.
It’s funny how the Democrats are claiming that the Republican Party should never recover from the Trump Presidency, notwithstanding the fact that the Administration has already done a tremendous job, whilst their own Democratic Party recovered from slavery and Jim Crow.
Not that guy...
McMullin, Cruz, Kasich have each taken pains to position themselves for 2020. I'd keep an eye open for a military officer too before the game is up.
Too late....we know it won’t be a real Republican. It will be some deep state plant posing as a Republican.
The country needs numerous Republicans to do the right thing, right now! That is to demand that trump either start acting like a human being, or be impeached!
Unfortunately the GOP is dead!! RIP GOP
I’m bringing back Abe Lincoln from the dead. TrueRepublican
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
The Clinton Foundation is money laundering and child trafficking
TheRussianAsset will always be connected to the Republican Party.
Trump resigns in 2019.
You have no idea what you are pushing here... do u live here in Maryland?
Actually, the country needs GOP to challenge Donald now
The GOP lost their spines to go against Trump.
I think it's a good idea. The leaderless DEMs should unitedly nominate a GOP guy
Romney, yes Romney. He will bring respectability back to the office and an added bonus is he doesn't like the Russians. Remember that debate with Obama when he was mocked by Obama for saying the Russians are a threat. Wise up and vote for him.
That is an opinion.
Dream on
No, America needs the entire GOP, in its present form, to be thrown in jail.
republicans need to return to being the party of fiscal responsibility, smaller government and decency....let trump form his own white nationalist party...
Can we get Bolsonaro.
Why give advice to the GOP BernieSanders
Uh, JohnKasich tried that in 16. Republicans weren't interested then, very few are pushing back now, why would 20 change anything?
It's the economy, stupid wapo.
After the trump fiasco they needn’t bother.
Republicans are complicit. They should never be forgiven for what they've allowed to happen. RussianAsset
No, the country needs credible journalists, not hyper-partisan journo-activists who hide behind a thin veneer of “objectivity”. I used to fear Trump; now he has exposed your bias as a threat to democracy.
Why does Russia need a new asset? Trump isn’t the only one Putin owns. (See LindseyGrahamSC )
Why? Won’t he be in jail by then?
We dont need a Rino in the White House .Mr Trump is the right President for 2020
I have a better idea...
The Republican party is not fundamentally with Trump at the helm.. only difference is to e and tenor... The major issue is many white Americans appetite for white supremacy
Reminder: 16 Republicans challenged Trump in 2016.
Democrats are in bad shape hope republicans will help them Hahahahaha
What would be the point? Good luck finding a Republican qualified who hasn't invested in Trump corruption at some level. The entire Republican body in Congress has repeatedly disqualified themselves by backing his insanity as have most if not all GOP governors.
Republicans are weak, so why would step up and take on Trump.
The Republican party should not be able to recover from this. If it does, then we deserve whatever they do to us.
The rethuglican party needs to burn to the ground.
Exactly, I want lower GDP, higher taxes, higher unemployment, more expensive gas, underfunded military, ISIS with a caliphate, the Korea's back at war, liberal judges, the old NAFTA, no criminal Justice reform, China taking advantage of us and paying for the entire climate accord
Don’t opine about a challenger in 20. The country must have realDonaldTrump resignation now.
They tried that last time right!! 16 of them😐
Yeah because Democrats doesn’t have anyone!
Nope!
Sorry, but that party is DOA. You reap what you sow.
I think the Washington Compost means RINO. We already have a great conservative President ! maga trump2020
Let them primary him.
WrongStatement Country does need a RealAmerican above party preference. That he or she is willing to fight for the interest of USA as a whole and really UnitedTheUSA above partisan lines. Needs a really honest & hard working person, not only someone who made false claims AP
We need no more Republicans. They’ve had their day.
Not sure if he is republican. But pretty sure he could beat trump
The GOP needs the guts to stand up to POTUS right now!
He's not getting to 2020 45 be optimistic...
Not unless you get rid of the entire GOP Congress.They are no better than Trump. They are not going to suddenly develop character. They are rotten to the core and just as corrupt.
I nominate RudyGiuliani
Come on Senator Sasse...
I'll never vote Republican again in my life.
How about if a Republican challenged him like right now? That would be a good start.
What the country needs is to cleanse itself of the GOP completely.
Republicans have pretty mich sealed their own fate in 2020– they’ve done nothing to warrant any trust.
He will just run as an independent. He could run as a democrat and win.
Ain’t happening!! Too funny!!
Hell no, I'm a lifelong Republican and I think a Democrat would be better for the sake of the country
Opinion: The country needs a new POLITICAL PARTY to replace the Republicans.
The country needs the Republicans to challenge Trump now.
Colin Powell
This country needs a republican senate to challenge Trump right now!
Today's GOP cannot be trusted due to the fact they have bent over backwards to defend this clown of a president and his corrupt ways.
Really you guys don’t even like Republicans!
Counterpoint - no.
Trump Replaces Old Fence; There's NO Border Wall. 'I'm Standing Right Here. via YouTube
Enough of those self centered fools ! Trumps got the Nuclear bomb plans to sell and he’s throwing in Yellowstone park if You pay full price
The party is Donald and Donald is the party. Give me a break. BurnTheLifeboats
No. My President Trump OWNS the Republican Party! He’s got something they NEVER had, BALLS! And Banana Republic Democrats HATE HIM BECAUSE OF IT!
Have you ever said the same about a Democrat?
Does anyone really think Trump will be around to run in 2020? Also, it is doubtful that anyone in the GOP can pull the party out of the toilet after this nightmare.
Or now lmao
only if you're willing to run as a third-party because if you're not willing to hang with the big dogs stay on the porch.
you really must not be paying close attention...tRump is not lasting out this year
Not gonna happen. The GOP is realDonaldTrump and vice versa, and they both suck taint.
A real Republican, not an Immoral liar.
Several!!!
