Why the Republican Party is poised to tear itself apart

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In the last 48 hours, two things have happened that suggest the Republican Party is likely headed to an all-out civil war:

1. The Wall Street Journal editorial board -- the pillar of establishment conservative thought in the country -- wrote this of former President Donald Trump (bolding is mine):

"Mr. Trump may run again, but he won't win another national election. He lost re-election before the events of Jan. 6, and as President his job approval never rose above 50%. He may go on a revenge campaign tour, or run as a third-party candidate, but all he will accomplish is to divide the center-right and elect Democrats. The GOP's defeats in the two Jan. 5 Georgia Senate races proved that.

-snip-

2. A new Quinnipiac University national poll shows that three-quarters of Republicans (75%) want Trump to "play a prominent role" in the GOP going forward.

Yup.

3. As My Debate Coach Used To Say

When your opponent is self-destructing, stay out of his way.

OK, I was never really on the debate team but I heard that someplace. Maybe when I worked on the yearbook...oh, wait, didn't do that either. Hmmm...

11. It's attributed to Napoleon.

"Never interrupt your enemy while he's busy making a mistake."

Like a lot of sayings popularized on the internet, it may be apocryphal, but it sounds like him.
