Even more shocking is that these limp-wristed RINOs didn’t see this coming.
Denizens of The Beltway really do live in a bizarre bubble.
Oh they saw it coming they just continue to take comfort that history has shown a majority of center/right citizens will vote for the Republican simply because "he/she isn't a Democrat after all".
The "vote for the lessor of two evils" bunch which in my opinion describes a majority of Republican voters for the last couple of decades.
Mr. Trump, a non politician, is the first candidate in decades to actually stimulate and excite the conservative wing, which is much larger than the establishment realizes, into taking excitedly participation in the process. The GOP hasn't had this much enthusiasm since Ronald Reagan.
It will be quite interesting to watch and see if the rank and file will forget what the GOPE did to bring Trump down, come 2022.
Nothing would make them sit up an re-take stock than loosing a few seats in 2022.
Most of the GOP have become little more than Democrat-lite. They didn’t support President Trump, why the {censored} should I support them? Because if we don’t stick with a rotting GOP more ‘rats will get elected? So? It is pretty hard to tell the difference between a ‘rat and a spineless GOP appeasement placeholder. Maybe it is time to start with a new party and fight for what is right, not just what is convenient.
Maybe the GOPe aren’t so scared.
After all a CPAC poll had only 54% supporting President Trump in 2024.
That scares me that our own conservatives are wavering.
