He's a "Republican strategist."

If any Republican other than Trump had been elected, he'd still be a "vocal Republican strategist."

I've never seen a shred of evidence suggesting he's trying to pretend he's something that he's not.

He's smart enough to know that after Trump leaves office, what's left of the Republican party won't "snap back" immediately, if at all.

I'm assuming that once Trump's gone, he'll return to being a full-time "Republican strategist."

That doesn't mean that there's no validity in what he's saying right now, and I don't have Rick Wilson posters tacked up all over my walls.

If you can read his work and find "Republican talking points," show them to me, and I'll be the first to admit that he's pushing "Republican talking points."

The concept of "adulation" for Rick Wilson is equal to the mindless devotion the MAGAts have for Trump.

I have a brain, and I have powers of discernment. Apparently that didn't come across in my post.
