How about a Hell No …

Who knows who would be in and out of his mar a lago bathroom secure room - visiting chinese agents - other republican trash … MTG ? Kari Lake ?

Fuck him - establish a secure location as needed to protect and surveil the documents as handled. Pretty typical of fatso trying to direct the prosecutors way of handling case.

Too bad he has to go back and forth to an outlier location - at his expense.

Abortion policy will screw the GOP in 2024, the party establishment types know it and the fanatics don't care. It is an issue well past its best before date and is starting to stink badly. They are screwed on this one and can't change course over this just like with Trump, the polls are tight, and a significant portion of their base will peel off, stay home or vote for independent candidates. Abortion is an issue of growing importance and women have had some time to organize and fund raise, and it will get worse for the republicans in 24, the demographics of new and young voters won't be kind to them. At one university in OH it was 98% prochoice, indicating the attitude of youth in general I figure, it might not be as high as a college poll, but support for choice is strong among youth and women.

What? The front runner will not take the loyalty pledge?

Trump says he won’t sign RNC loyalty pledge, will share debate plans next week
Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will not sign the loyalty pledge required by the Republican National Committee (RNC) for candidates to participate in the first primary debate.

“I wouldn’t sign the pledge. Why would I sign a pledge if there are people on there that I wouldn’t have. I wouldn’t have certain people as somebody that I would endorse,” Trump told Eric Bolling on Newsmax, declining to specify who he would not endorse.

The RNC has said for candidates to participate in the first primary debate they must sign a pledge stating that they will support the eventual party nominee in 2024.

Trump, however, has repeatedly indicated that he may skip the debate scheduled for Aug. 23 in Milwaukee. He has pointed to his significant lead in primary polls and questioned why he should participate and allow other candidates to attack him in an attempt to garner more traction in the race.
The former president told Bolling on Wednesday that he would announce next week whether he will attend the debate.
“I’ve already decided, and I’ll be announcing something next week,” Trump said.
“I haven’t totally ruled it out,” he added.

This is not the first time Trump has shrugged at the RNC’s push for primary candidates to rally behind the eventual nominee. During a 2015 primary debate, Trump was the lone candidate on stage not to raise his hand to indicate he would back whoever was atop the ticket.

Later in the process, however, Trump did eventually sign a loyalty pledge for the party.

Other GOP candidates have criticized the requirement, questioning how enforceable it is.
“I’m going to take the pledge just as seriously as Donald Trump took it in 2016,” former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) told CNN last month.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who is running in second place behind Trump in most polls, signed the loyalty pledge earlier Wednesday.

The unspoken bit is that proper loyalty is to him and not from him.

Any pledge he makes would be worthless anyway, he is completely untrustworthy and really should be ignored. Donald is desperate and going to jail is about all that will slow him down, if he loses the nomination he will run as a Bull Moose and siphon off republican votes. He is in a race to avoid incarceration before the republican convention next summer and if he keeps mouthing off, he will be jailed until he is tried and convicted. Other republicans will start baiting him over his legal trouble and the 2020 election results, just to see if they can drive him over the edge and into a jail cell. They have to get rid of Donald ASAP or 24 could be a very bad year for them and they need Jack to jail and or muzzle Trump for them and remove him from the field.

Like abortion bans, climate change policy is to a certain extent generational with youth having serious concerns about both issues and they are largely progressive according to the polls. Millions of older mostly republican voters have died and millions younger mostly liberal voters have entered the voting pool since the last election. Trump, internal division, incompetence, scandals, abortion, guns, climate change and being broke in most states should be enough to defeat them in 2024.
