The GOPe is absolutely helpless at this point.
****************
I hope you’re right. Very powerful people with abundant resources are working behind the scenes and “convince” others to see it their way. The GOP still has access to an enormous amount of money and knows well how to use it as a political weapon.
If you’ve been watching Boehner and McConnell bully their respective houses recently, you get an idea of how powerful the party apparatus can be I would be very surprised if the party throws in the towel. Again, I would like to be wrong about this and your point about Reagan holds out some hope. But Reagan was a successful governor from a key state. It was hard for the party to resist him. Not so much with Trump. We’ll soon see.
Chin up Starboard!
Fewer men have defeated greater enemies for the cause of Freedom and Liberty.
Now is our time.
Reagan did have his terms as governor to point to, but Trump has his career of building a personal fortune off Real Estate ventures to point to.
I think that pretty much equals a push. Success in the Business environment could be seen to (forgive the term) trump Reagan’s experience also.
We do trash folks for having never had to run a business before, so I think that’s a fair assessment, not to detract from Reagan.
He understood this dynamic and addressed it himself regarding the government and private sector.
