For anyone not residing in D.C., that was the obvious lesson of 2016. Over four years later, too many elected representatives still haven't figured that out. Washington Republicans have worked tirelessly to make President Trump go away, and they have done so at great cost to the future of the Republican Party. When Republican leaders constantly countermand the voters of their own party, many voters would rather destroy the party and start from scratch than reward the very people who seem to hate them most.
If the Mitt Romneys, Paul Ryans, Ben Sasses, or any of the other consistent NeverTrump naysayers who all predicted the worst from Trump's presidency had any professional credibility, they would recognize how repeatedly wrong they have been about their doom-and-gloom predictions for five years. That they have only doubled and tripled down on their hatred for President Trump while, in Senator Romney's case, astonishingly turning potential Biden family financial crimes into a Trump impeachment has only made them (and, by extension, their Republican colleagues) increasingly repugnant to ordinary Republican voters.
It is difficult to pull the lever for the Republican members of a legislative body that stubbornly refuses to understand why voters elected President Trump and how the president has succeeded for those voters despite the intractable efforts at sabotage by NeverTrump Republicans in Congress. It is hard to imagine ever supporting members of a political party who see ordinary Americans protesting for free and fair elections as a greater threat to the Union than their own totalitarian colleagues pushing censorship and socialism in the halls of Congress.

The larger part of it that is uniparty did.
The small part that wasn’t, did not.
The author can say that again. And the Ryans and Romneys and Sasses... with Republican such as they, who needs Democrats?
Kill it!!!!! Put it out of it’s misery!!!
They’re worthless & weak!!!
Did I mention they are worthless!!
Thanks to the GOPe this year, my political calculus is an easy problem to figure out: Democrats in DC want to destroy the GOP base. Republicans in DC want to help them. No reason to vote for Republicans going to DC.
Yup I agree 100%
Like a deer in the headlights after impact laying there in convultions not knowing what just hit them.
You know the answer....
And no. Thats not a dog whistle for violence. But it is for a PEACEFUL overthrow.
Sorry, the GOP is compromised and begin redemption. We need to start a new party free from the malign influence of current members of GOP leadership.
Same here. Done voting for anyone at the national level. Working for Texas to become very independent.
Whig Party. We need a new party - combination Tea party and MAGA Party.
Both parties were caught with lobbyist spoons in their mouths.
We now know how it works.
Tax money in, aid money out.
Some comes back.
I totally agree. Voting for the GOP is like sticking your hand in a running blender - injurious, painful, and insane.
Well said .
Trump has given us all 20/20 vision. The great awakening. Never knew how incredibly bad it was if not for trump exposing it all.
We don’t need to destroy the republican party...We just need to get rid of the scum who are in the republican party...80 MILLION VOTERS FOR TRUMP......GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND FIND OUT HOW TO RUN FOR CONGRESS...!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had all ages,colors and genders voting for Trump....If you don’t work to save your country,don;t bitch about your country being destroyed,....ANNNNNND age is no barrier.......Don’t say you’re too old...
I call him President Red Pill.
yes
Long live the MAGA Party!
the GOP is dead to Americans. DEAD.
Sharks and hippos are safer.
Democrats are more honest.
Death offers more opportunities.
That's exactly what the demonrats hope will happen. With a split conservative party the rats will win easily in 2024 and forward. The GOP needs to be reformed and strengthened. The weak RINOs need to be primaried,
