Trump never had an iron grip on the GOP, nor should he have wanted to. The GOP is nothing more than a self-serving entity that only knows you when it wants your money, and your vote. And your vote isn’t all that important to them because they’ve never taken any steps to protect it from voter fraud. What President Trump does have, is an iron grip on the largest portion of Conservatives who are fed up with the shenanigans, and back-stabbing of the GOP. I left the Republican Party after January 6th. They haven’t acted in my best interest for decades, and I’m done with them. If, and when I do vote, it will be as a member of “no party,” and it will only be for President Donald Trump. I’m done holding my nose to vote for someone who doesn’t deserve my vote. For me, the GOP is dead.
Well said.
