I noticed a conspicuous gap in those presidencies, notably 2008-2016.

It was plain to see during the RNC convention. The GOP was kicked to the curb. So refreshing. They’re done.

I didn’t think about it at the time.. But all of them were democrats. They carried the repub name, but they were not conservative republicans.

Don’t bet on it.

They won’t stop coming after President Trump until they kill him.
