28. I think what we are seeing is an awakening of those within the republican party who want Trump out.

They smell blood on the water; the beginning of the end of the MAGAts. This is their chance to get rid of this guy without causing too much damage to themselves.
Yes, they're going to lose control of the House, and possible the Senate. But in the end they'll be free, even if it means a decade of rebuilding the republican party into something that can actually work for America.

The MAGAts were never a sustainable movement; too radical, and too focused on one man's perverse view of America. They were too consumed by hate to ever carry this nation forward. Their view of the future was too dependent on hate as a driving force force to propel the nation into the future.
It could never work.
I see this as a tactical sacrifice of position to allow a chance for traditional republicans to actually rally their forces.

We shall see what happens.

No rescuing your legacy if you were in Trump's close orbit. You just go on to your next grift or you fade to black. dutch777 Dec 25 #18
