Let’s get right to the heart of the matter..... What the ruling class is really worried about is that the Republican base will no longer give any credence or respect to the GOPe. And this is the litmus test.
The Democrats and the media are holding the GOPe’s feet to the fire, and imploring them to agree with their “baseless claims” narrative. They want to find out exactly where the Republican base stands, so they can plot their next move.
If the base is divided, they can breath a sigh of relief that the GOPe will somehow survive and prevail.
If the base is united in outrage over being betrayed, then they’ll have to attack the base and try to convince the rest of the country that Republican voters have lost their minds. At that point their new narrative will be to portray all MAGA primary winners as dangerous extremists.
BINGO!!
