The Rep party are still attaching their fortunes to Trump... [View all]

But Trump has been essentially silenced with the loss of Twitter.
Will his followers keep their slavish dedication without Trump telling them hourly how to think and feel?

Seems to me that Trump without Twitter is a much smaller, distant and insignificant figure who could lose his Toadies if a new shiny object is dangled in front of them.
That would mean the current batch of Rs that hitch their wagons to Trump could be following a dead horse.
