The former president now controls the Republican Party by virtually every conceivable measure. He has a commanding lead in fund-raising and polling. His policies are a beacon to which most conservative lawmakers orient themselves in affairs both foreign and domestic. His endorsement remains the single most coveted asset that any Republican could hope to brandish in a primary race, and he has already received support from an overwhelming majority of prominent elected Republicans.
In this election cycle, Mr. Trump has received endorsements from 130 House members and 31 senators, a majority of both Republican caucuses, according to an analysis by FiveThirtyEight. Ms. Haley, his only remaining opponent, has received just one congressional endorsement, from a House member from her home state, South Carolina. Before Mr. DeSantis dropped out, he had collected only five.
The picture is similar among governors, with 11 Republican governors endorsing Mr. Trump, two endorsing Ms. Haley, and two having endorsed Mr. DeSantis before his exit. With Mr. DeSantis immediately backing the former president after dropping out and Senator Mitch McConnell indicating a new willingness to defer to Mr. Trump’s political preferences, only a vestige of organized opposition remains among Republican elected officials and political figures.

If it were up to me, Bannon would be Trump’s veep. Mark Levin as AG. Vivek in charge of OMB and overall hatchet man eliminating federal departments, agencies and moving the leftovers to Needles, California.

There are still FAR too many RINOs in office and in positions of power within the Republican party. The RINO hunt must continue until every last one of them has been purged.
I agree. I just wish somebody would clue in the U.S. Chamber of Crypto-Fascist, Crony-Commerce.

“I will vote for DeSantis in the Florida primary if possible.”
Talk about being slow on the uptake.

Mitch McConnell isn’t defering. He is a liar. He needs to be replaced.
You can count them on one hand in the senate and two in the house.
Trump may have put a dent in the establishment but he has not defeated these cockroaches yet. They still control the levers of power at the national level and at the state level and they WILL throw the 24 election in a vain attempt to keep Trump out of office. They have betrayed time and again and I see no reason they will change their ways.
Absolutely. As a Trump supporter I will be happy to vote for Mr. DeSantis. In 2028....
fine with me
