“face the prospect of more Claire or similar from a RINO. And it will be MANY things they disagree with.”
I don’t think it will be a problem in a few weeks, as I think he will step down before the Dem convention to deny them the satisfaction of having his name dragged through the mud on national TV every night.
He has to realize the situation he is in. I know it has to be a hard decision to make, but he will make the right one.
I think he will as well. But the damage is done. We will now have fewer conservatives that ever willing to step into the breach because the hair trigger loyalty of modern conservatism will likely bite them as well.
THAT is the big problem here. And Dems will just bait more righties into the same trap. And they will get someone tripped up, and more ‘staunch conservatives’ will change them faster than sweaty socks.
And round and round we go. Net result? An increasingly liberal GOP/government/country. And it’s OUR OWN damn fault. We know it, we see it and we self-inflict it. So we deserve whatever happens.
