He is not a king maker. He couldn't bring home the Georgia Senate Race. Under his command, republicans lost the senate, congress and the WH.

I also remember some Governors' races that were lost after he rallied for them.

So sure, he can find the most trumpy Qanon nut to mount a primary, but how does that play to win back control of congress or the WH?

They keep talking about 73 million people, I know I suck at this new common core math my niece is doing, but 80 million is still bigger than 73 million.

Do they not realize that trump not only " energized" his base, he also energized voters that do not want him or his ilk in office?

Clinging to trump over time will assure the republicans will continue to lose where it counts in general elections.
