Dude thinks he still owns the GOP. They desperately want to move on from him though.
Most of the leadership would love to be done with him, but remember a record number of people voted for him in the last election. He still holds a troubling amount of sway.
In a disturbing number of people eyes though, he does own the GOP
In our representative plutocracy, US parties pivoted their business model to deliver legislation to donors, and deliver tribalism and spectacle to voters.
Trump really upped the bar at delivering spectacle compared to Willard Romney. But Trump is/was shit at delivering legislation, and he wants a personal cut of all the donations. But he brought in new money.
The GOP leadership can’t decide if they want him around because he’s a pain in their collective asses. He brings in votes and money, but can’t be relied on for legislation. What will unite the GOP is Trump having a stroke that leaves him unable to talk.
