    They were told the risks of pinning their entire political strategy and identity on one septuagenarian gameshow host, and did it anyway

        The policy promises were mostly unfulfilled, but they did in fact stack the judicial system with sycophant judges from top to bottom. The real goal was actually achieved.

    Sounds about right. Lindsey Graham even said that this would happen…so…they shouldn’t be even remotely surprised.

      I wouldn’t give Graham’s words and weight considering as soon as Trump whipped his ass he immediately jumped into the toadstool and helped create this god awful fascist mess.

        Oh, I don’t disagree. I just think that’s it’s funny that they possessed the introspection to literally know this would happen but enjoyed the convenience of the MAGA politics so much that they ignored it anyways.

    They had their chance, they had a chance to separate from Trump to build a new identity. Hell even had a candidate who would have worked for them. Instead they let Trump dub their guy the meatball and completely derail the process. They didn’t have the balls to take a chance and change and now it’s too late they don’t have enough time.
