Trump is historically unpopular, and it makes no sense for Republicans to tie their fortunes to him

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/o...ortunes-to-him

Conservative media is usually a ridiculous joke, filled with propaganda, but once in a great while, they get it.

Quote:
The challenge Republicans face, of course, is that there is a deep disconnect between Republican voters and the general electorate. Though down from the upper 80s, Trump still leaves the presidency with 82% of Republicans approving of his performance. In deep-red districts, this means those who get in Trump's crosshairs risk a primary challenge. The problem is, just 30% of independents approve of Trump, meaning that as long as the party is tied to him, they will have difficulty winning outside of already deeply Republican areas, which they would expect to win no matter what.

So, while it might get ugly, the data are pretty clear that for Republicans to advance as a party, they are going to have to find a way to divorce themselves from Trump.

DiaperDon's ridiculous 1776 Report? Mostly plagiarized nonsense from conservative writings. Historians are laughing uncontrollably at its absurdities.

DiaperDon's second impeachment after Capitol riots isn't enough. He needs to go to prison.
Political sanction did not deter the president* from abusing his power again, nor should we believe it would deter anyone else. A criminal conviction will.

Yes, indeed.

Excerpt from Trump's farewell speech, as released by the White House:

"Now, as I prepare to hand power over to a new administration at Noon on Wednesday, I want you to know that the movement we started is only just beginning."

Your bowel movement, Donny? Any other "movement" of yours will be crushed.

Scoop from @andrewrestuccia: Trump has talked to people in recent days about forming a new political party. He wants to call it the "Patriot Party."
