"Good Morning Mr. President"...I believe he has a clear path of what will happen with the republican party.

My prediction is that even though some republicans still have their noses up trump's butt, they are no enjoying the smell, and they do want him to disappear but must obey because trump may have the goods on them, so they are going to let trump dissolve into obscurity all by himself. It is also the fact that there are a lot of zombies out there who still pray to lord trump, and they want those votes.

The MAGATs will decrease in numbers and people like Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, McCarthy, Haley, Graham (despite of his assurance of the six years) will be the biggest loosers. Democrats must work very hard to send the message to win the Senate and make Manchin and the republicans irrelevant.

Kinzinger is playing it hoping that what I wrote above will come true and then he will be on the front of the republican party. He is articulate, young, and has some charisma, characteristics that will help him move up the ranks, plus he is making himself look as a true patriot and a tell-it-like-it-is kind of person. Whether it is an act? I don't doubt it, but it is a good act for those who are willing to believe it.

He doesn't like Trump. Good for him. He doesn't think Trump is conservative enough.

He's found a niche, where he is getting friendly MSM coverage, but look at his voting record.

When you see that every House Republican voted against the Covid package, that includes him. When you see every Republican opposes a minimum wage hike, that includes him. When you see every Republican voted for trillions in tax cuts for corporations and the already filthy rich, he is one of them. He wants work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid, he wants Right To Work laws that kill unions, he wants to repeal the ACA and protections for pre-existing conditions.

Just because he doesn't like Trump is no reason to believe he is any better than Trump. Or Cruz. Or Paul. Or McConnell.
