39. For those with eyes and ears... this was obvious.

This is Trump's GOP.

The GOP benefited greatly from him. Record breaking vote count for a sitting POTUS and a BIG rally in the House Elections with a boat anchor on top of the ballot during a universal mail-in ballot election.

And they still hold a 50 Seat roadblock in the Senate.

After Romney in 2012, the GOP was all but dead. Trump has united the various factions of the Right, I might even say "Unite the Right" (pun intended re: C-Ville)

So... WHY would GOP'ers abandon Trump now?

EVERY single GOP'er is hoping and praying that Trump rallies, fundraises and speechifies his way through '24 but refuses to run for POTUS, putting his full support behind someone like a Noem or DeSantis.
