The Republican Party often seems to be driven by a desire to lose. The party is definitely uncomfortable with winners in their midst.
They want all the perks with none of the responsiblity.
Nice work, if you can get it!
The GOP has perfected the con of losing for fun and profit. The entire party is just one big scam, an illusion of choice when both the Democrat Party and Republican Party are led by members of the same tribe. That is why President Trump is stomping all over the GOPe establishment candidates and why both the RNC and DC Swamp hate President Trump so much when they should be unifying behind him.
