George Conway: Trump 'will probably die in prison'

Conservative attorney George Conway on Thursday lamented the state of the Republican Party, telling MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough the GOP is “going to end up nominating a candidate" for the 2024 presidential race "who may be a convicted felon” and “will probably die in prison.”

Conway — who announced his divorce in May from Donald Trump's former counselor Kellyanne Conway — made the remarks on “Morning Joe” following the first Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday in Milwaukee, WI.

Noting Trump is “most likely going to be facing justice and facing justice again today,” Scarborough asked what Conway expects as he looks “forward to the events of today in Georgia.”

“Well, I look forward to the mug shot, Conway replied. "I look forward to the spectacle, I guess. I mean, it's kind of sad. It is almost old hat now.”

“You know,” Conway continued, “what's really, really sad was the events of last night, which will be soon forgotten, where you had six candidates saying they would vote for a person who is a convicted felon. I mean, it's just absolutely stunning, but this is going to be 2016 all over again because everybody, they're all attacking everyone but Trump.”

“They're all going to end up nominating a candidate who, you know, will maybe be a convicted felon, will probably die in prison, and was found by a federal district court to be a rapist,” Conway added. “It’s crazy.”

Trump is expected to surrender on Thursday to the Fulton County Jail where he’ll be processed on racketeering and conspiracy charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. Several of Trump’s co-defendants in that case have already turned themselves in.
