Remember when the entire Republican party worshipped GWB? How he was such a bold and decisive leader? I remember it all too well. Eventually they realized that he was just another Republican phony. Immediately after GWB left office he sold his fake ranch in Crawford, Texas and moved to the rich suburbs of Dallas, rarely to be heard of again. Then along came Trump and when he was nominated he was anointed as the 2nd coming of Reagan. Now that Trump is fading into the dustbin of fake Republican heroes, the next shiny object of their adoration is Ron DeSantis. Fox News will be on hand to fill in all the blanks and tell the base what to think. Lather, Rinse Repeat.
