Good. I think he’s terrified the GOP enough that all of a sudden, today, all sorts of formerly silent or even oppositional figures are coming out and supporting him...because they know that’s the only way for them. Otherwise, they’ll be toast.
Lindsey Graham called for Trump to take over the GOP, and I think Trump is doing this. It would be easier and give Trump more power if he simply occupied the existing “structure” rather than creating a new one, so that’s good.
One minor observation...we here shouldn’t trash GOPers who suddenly wake up and smell the coffee just because they were lousy in the past. Yes, a weak party is what has gotten us to this point, but we need to move ahead and encourage the weak sisters.
At the same time, his threat to start a third party was also good, because it showed even the GOPe that they’ve got to shape up or they’re going to be nobody, not reelected, no power- and probably no income and even their lavish bennies will go away. We will move to a fully one-party system where even the “good” (i.e., Dem favorable) GOPe will be criminalized.
A little late isn't it?
