The GOP’s support for Trump, a transformational president if there ever was one, has been tepid at best, resistant at worst. Too many national office holders do just enough to avoid the bad PR that could complicate their re-election and they try to walk the thin line between appearing to support him while dutifully serving the powers-that-be in the GOP. We all see what’s going on.
If they would get behind our president (instead of forcing him to often fight alone) just imagine what could be accomplished. But they don’t do that because the party largely acts in the interest of it’s big money donors and power brokers.
The really outrageous thing in my view is the GOP’s disgraceful lack of support for Trump during the corrupt, seditious and unlawful efforts to oust him from office. With a few precious exceptions they let him twist in the wind for four long years. Contrast that with how the Democrats circle the wagons for their guys.
We have different views of the GOP and that’s fine. Different opinions make the world go around. Like many others, I only vote for the deceitful rascals out of sheer necessity and knowing they’ll probably fall far short of expectations.
At the risk of stating the obvious, Trump has no shortage of critics, resisters and detractors inside the GOP. Its a very long list indeed and make no mistake, they want him gone. If he does decide to start a new party I look forward to joining, supporting and helping to fund it. And I think a good portion of Free Republic would too.
No, the majority of Republican voters support him and like him just fine.
If he does decide to start a new party I look forward to joining.....
He already has, it's called....The Republican Party.
Don't you watch the rallies? There's one on now.
