Jamelle Bouie: The Republican Party Has No Identity Left outside of Trump



Trump right now is the weakest he's ever been with the public! Democrats lead the generic ballot! Inflation is high! Gas is expensive! The Iran war is a quagmire and things are likely to get worse before they get better!

And yet: Bill Cassidy just lost his Senate primary for voting to convict Trump after January 6th. Thomas Massie just lost his for being a small thorn in the president's side.

Trump still has total control of the Republican Party and he is using that to insulate himself from accountability.
