The GOP despises Trump. They are every bit as happy about his departure as the Dems are.
Those who still harbor hopes for the GOP can remain in the party. But its a sinking ship that has rotten and decayed over many decades. Its time for the Grand OLD Party to be scrapped.
I guess the question is, “Who is the GOP?” I agree that the leadership of the GOP despises Trump and it despises most of the Republican voters as well. It considers them uncouth, uneducated, unintelligent, unwashed, and ultimately dangerous to their own ambitions. So, why should people like that lead the GOP? What should the voters not have their say in the party’s politics, if not the election?
