The Breakers resort is about 3 miles from Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. When more than 20 Republican senators headed there last weekend, though, only three attended an event with Donald Trump.
And some say they steered clear of the former president intentionally as they raised money to take back the Senate.
“People appreciate his input. But I think a lot of people see a lot of other opportunities elsewhere for 2024,” said one Senate Republican, who was granted anonymity to describe the intraparty dynamics.
“And so while he has a role to play, I think a lot of people are tired of looking backwards and they want to look forward,” the senator added. “So, I did not go see him.”

Senate Republicans want the former president's supporters, but some are avoiding him in a bid to make the midterms a referendum on Joe Biden’s leadership.www.politico.com

This is simply one article, with several 'name withheld' quotes from GOP Senators, and several Senators going on the record as to why they apparently 'snubbed' Trump.
I'll also add the effect described in the article appears be a midterm calculus, and I can make no claims about 2024.
However, some of us waiting/hoping for a fissure to occur between the GOP Congress and Trump, may find the article interesting.
Enjoy!
The time for them to have a riff was at the impeachment hearings. Its a bit late for that. Sniveling leeches afraid of being primaried pfftGOP senators steer clear of Trump as rift deepens

The ‘rift’ isn’t deep enough, yet, imo.
Since the Senate is infested with GOP Elites who'd rather do anything to damage Trump than lose their big money donors and lobbyists, it's pretty certain that these "unnamed" Senators are of that ilk.GOP senators steer clear of Trump as rift deepens

Hell, gap tooth Abrams wouldn't cross the street in her hometown to appear with him when he's speechifying on her favorite topic of election reform.

GOP Senators Mitt Romney, Jim Inhofe, Lindsey Graham, and Richard Burr all did not show up for a vote on an amendment to defund Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates.Them not showing killed the amendment.

The fact is, the Republican rank and file know what those cretins are now...and those cretins are living on borrowed time.
But hey...if you need examples of who those people are, just read this news article...

The right distancing themselves from Trump is inevitable and will accelerate over the next few months as more and more do it.
At some point he'll threaten a third party run because all republicans will be RINOs in his mind. He will take down the republican party if they don't break the connection.
The Senators are trying to walk that fine line...making their voters think they are doing stuff for them, while actually doing stuff for their donors and lobbyists.Well the way I see it, is Trump is toxic on a large portion of the national stage, but is omnipotent among his base.
Which is why Trump has the House heart, minds, and soul, but the Senate only goes along for the required ride - while they'd rather not.
Stop....Trump works for himself.The Senators are trying to walk that fine line...making their voters think they are doing stuff for them, while actually doing stuff for their donors and lobbyists.
And yes...Trump is toxic to them because he doesn't work for their donors. He works for the American people.
The Senators, like I said, will do anything. Even that sleazy tactic of not showing up to vote.
Your posts are getting more bizarre and stupid every day.And yes...Trump is toxic to them because he doesn't work for their donors. He works for the American people.
They are smart to avoid him. He is toxic.
The Republican Party needs to ask themselves if they want to try to win with the deplorable vote or without.
The deplorable vote is limited. Trump drew some political neophytes out of the woodwork, people who have never/rarely been involved in politics. They are poorly informed, misinformed, and motivated by hatred. But there are only so many of them. And some have perished due to foolish vaccination choices. No more are coming forward.
And then there are the traditional small-government Republicans who once claimed the moral high ground. They held their noses and voted for Trump because of the SCOTUS, but that is no longer a concern. And if the SCOTUS tosses Roe, that becomes more of a motivator for liberals than conservatives.
If Republicans want to win at all costs, the cost may be continued decline of party values. Or they can try to reclaim morality and hope to win on principle. It's an interesting dynamic to watch.
Two of the 20 Senators made comments to the press about not meeting with Trump - but did so anonymously. They represent the majority of Republican Senators. Afraid of the base, afraid of Trump, and afraid to say anything that might result in derision by Trump.GOP senators steer clear of Trump as rift deepens

IMHO, Trump is on the verge of becoming his own worst enemy - or snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. There isn't another Republican out there that can energize the right like Trump, but he can be a massive dickhead, and, obviously, a poor loser. My biggest concern no is that the Republican hierarchy is more concerned about getting back to the "good ol' boy network" days - even if they become a permanent minority. McConnell is making noises that way.GOP senators steer clear of Trump as rift deepens
