The mood in MAGA-land: “Every shred of evidence points to a likely ass kicking”

Shooting rubber bullet grenades at protesting priests. Catastrophically botching the pandemic response, resulting in a public health and economic calamity. Tweeting “white power” memes. Ranting in front of empty arenas about how he navigated a “slippery ramp.” Being MIA while his Russian benefactors put out a hit on American soldiers in Afghanistan.

The last 3 months have been a political dumpster fire for President Trump, and the flames have engulfed Republicans up and down the ballot. But while pockets of Republican resistance have roasted Dear Leader, elected officials in D.C. and their svengalis in the consultant class have remained steadfast.

These swamp creatures were never the biggest Trumpers in the first place — his initial campaign team was an assortment of d-listers and golf course grunts rather than traditional GOP ad men. So why, as Trump’s numbers plummet, are these establishment RINOs continuing to debase themselves to protect someone who is politically faltering and couldn’t care less about them?

1. No Choice

The trumpaneeze You have to remember that about 70% of the rethuglican party are cultists and will turn against anyone who does not bow down to the messiah for morons.

2. lots of greed in their soul and...

these guys (and maybe women) sound like diehard Nazis sworn to loyalty to der Fuehrer. They would rather die than try to escape.

Trump and his allies/enablers/consultants need to be so thoroughly trounced that it takes years for the Republicans to recover. He is a perfect albatross around their neck.

3. Not sure that the Republican "Brand" can survive

The cat is out of the bag and Republicans are going to have to defend every action for many years to come. The Republicans politicians are complicent and need to be reminded of their fealty to Trump forever. Time for them to get a new party. The old one has been ruined.
