Now is the summer of Republican content.
The G.O.P. is confident and unified. Donald Trump has held a consistent and widening lead over President Biden in all the battleground states. Never Trumpers have been exiled, purged or converted. The Supreme Court has eased many of Trump’s legal travails while his felony convictions in New York seem to have inflicted only minimal political damage — if they didn’t actually help him.
Best of all for Republicans, a diminished Joe Biden seems determined to stay in the race, leading a dispirited and divided party that thinks of its presumptive nominee as one might think of a colonoscopy: an unpleasant reminder of age. Even if Biden can be cajoled into quitting, his likeliest replacement is Vice President Kamala Harris, whose 37 percent approval rating is just around that of her boss. Do Democrats really think they can run on her non-handling of the border crisis, her reputation for managerial incompetence or her verbal gaffes?
In short, Republicans have good reason to think they’ll be back in the White House next January. Only then will the regrets set in.
Three in particular: First, Trump won’t slay the left; instead, he will re-energize and radicalize it. Second, Trump will be a down-ballot loser, leading to divided and paralyzed government. Third, Trump’s second-term personnel won’t be like the ones in his first. Instead, he will appoint his Trumpiest people and pursue his Trumpiest instincts. The results won’t be ones old-school Republicans want or expect.

Real true conservative republicans won’t regret a second Trump term. Rinos and Rats will hate it though.
Real patriots will finally be able to breathe again, hopefully long after Trump’s second term ends because another good conservative will win the next election.
Leftists will lose no rights. They will lose nothing that really matters to them unlike when a Rat pResident occupies the WH Oval Office.
Speaking of the Oval Office. Notice we never see video or photos with Slow Joe in there. Jill, yes. Joe, no. Hunter is probably in there doing lines on the Resolute. A home wrecker and crackhead are calling the shots. Now don’tcha just feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that!
Old-school Republicans are idiots and really Democrats.
They are Swamp creatures who believe the USA is the government while we believe the USA is the citizens.
During the 2016 United States presidential election campaign, Stephens became part of the Stop Trump movement, regularly writing articles for The Wall Street Journal opposing Donald Trump's candidacy and becoming "one of Trump's most outspoken conservative critics". Stephens has compared Trump to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.
Emphasis added. Tells me all you need to know about this clown.
