With the Republican National Convention wrapped up, it’s clear the GOP is unquestionably the party of Donald J. Trump. There is no real dissent from MAGA in the party ranks. Bitter primary rivals took the stage to pay obeisance to the nominee. The crowd booed Mitch McConnell and other Republicans who have run afoul of Trump. On the other hand, the crowd went nuts for Tucker Carlson and Hulk Hogan. Throughout the week, Trump was treated as a conquering king, watching the festivities from his perch and relishing the adoration of the entire convention. It was a full-on MAGA fest.
MAGA is now the party establishment. The old guard has either bent the knee or left the party. There were no Bushes, no Cheneys, no Paul Ryan, and no Mitt Romney at the convention. There were no passive-aggressive speeches calling for Republicans to “vote their conscience.” Like McConnell, the only establishmentarians allowed to speak were those fully endorsing Trump. It’s his party now.

The republican party belongs to the voters, and it was the RINOs that needed to be turfed out. Why should WE have left?
It was magnificent to see a convention with no Romney, Ryan, Cheney, or Christie. Traitors all!
It is populism. It stands in stark contrast to leftist fascism.
I’m sure the DNC will be equally impressive.(/S)
The America First movement clearly has the upper hand but there are still plenty of RINOs to purge - especially in the Senate.
Purging RINOs wasn’t going to be accomplished in one election cycle. It is a work in progress. Look at how TDS made it easy for them to be spotted. Look at how many of them have lost in primaries since their betrayal to Trump in 2020.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
Still too many RINO’s and Uniparty Swamp rats.
How many of current GOP senators are MAGA? How many are just saying they are MAGA?
A hard-core Clinton DEMOCRAT gives TRUMP high marks for his convention speech!
Please share!

Should be interesting to see the contrast come Aug.
the few remaining dissenters just were not invited, Bushes, Biden ect
Exemplified by Brit Hume the other night after the Trump enthusiasm
“This isn’t over yet”
It was like the black knight screeching from the ground, chopped off arm sockets spewing blood, ‘get back here I’ll bite ya to death’
STUPID conclusion.
Intoxicated with a Republican Convention PR event that went smoothly.
Trump said it best in 2016 politicians are all talk no action.
MOST GOP Senators are NOT America First.
The majority of GOP House members would align with Eric Kantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy before a real America First candidate.
Trump gets grass roots MAGA money, the congressional candidates are still relying on special interests that are aligned with globalism not America First.
For Trump to get anything done he will drag congressional leadership while their kicking and screaming not because they have followed Trump’s lead out of principle.
This is a vewwy vewwy bad thing !
Don’t miss the reason why non-MAGA politicians (who are decreasing by the minute) are doing their best to look MAGA.
It comes down to the power of we the people.
Trump took the Republican party and turned into the MAGA party. I no longer identify as Republican.
There’s a little more of a legit R vs D choice nowadays thanks to Trump and MAGA and America First..
The Republican royal families didn’t react well to Trump or MAGA or America First..
Their voters did, though..
And no Bushes
Ya. Trump wasn’t in that book
