While establishment rinos, (aka the defunct gop) offer promises to the base only to renig on the promises, Trump followed through with his promises. For this reason Trump earned more votes then any other gop candidate.

You can call his response to the establishment an act of tantrum, but he was a candidate for the base, not the globalist wing of the party.

I ask, do you agree that he should be impeached? The Constitution aside, has he committed reasons for impeachment?

Do you feel Trump has been betrayed by those who have turned on him? In my view they never supported him in the first place because HE HONORED HIS PROMISES. Which is more than I can say for most of the gop.

He followed through on some, but not others, like every President. I was mostly, but not entirely, pleased with his performance from a policy standpoint, but much less pleased with his performance as a political leader.

No. I think he bears some moral responsibility for what happened on January 6, but he did not commit a crime. He either knowingly or negligently deceived his own supporters in the weeks leading up to it about the facts of the election and about the Constitution, and he acted recklessly in sending them to march on the Capitol. But he did not incite a riot or commit any other crime, and that's the standard for impeachment in my book.

No. I don't think anyone "turned on" him, even though he certainly turned on his own supporters like Kemp, Raffensperger, and Pence. The figure who has shown the most disloyalty in this whole sorry affair has been Trump.

How did Republicans fail to support Trump?
