Elected officials, donors and party figures who had stayed neutral or even opposed Trump in the 2024 GOP primary race are starting to flock to his side.
“Everybody senses that an endorsement only helps him now," Todd said. “They want to do it when they are adding value, as opposed to when it’s meaningless. After South Carolina it will be meaningless if he wins New Hampshire.”
They’re falling over each other to appear valuable up to Trump, specifically because it is valuable now - or, in other words, because this is the time when withholding their support hurts him the most.
These people are the worst traitors. They see American democracy limping and injured, and explicitly choose to knife it in the back rather than treat its injuries, hoping it will help endear them to its fascist bully that injured it in the first place. They should never be able to forget the shame of what they’re doing.
