They been nonstop crying like a bunch of bytches

Attitude reflects leadership...

Overheated and histrionic rhetoric about Romeny looks a little excessive in hindsight. But that was part of an overall trend from both parties, esp. after 2000 and after the Gingrich house of the 90's.

It's too entrenched, that notion won't die overnight. You will have others try to do it but they don't have the magnetic nature of Trump.

they don't have a sociopath capable of both capturing MAGA, and also winning a general election. hell, that might not even apply to trump anymore either

Yeah man it's gonna be a bunch of Mini Me's looking for the throne.

Or will it force them to pivot to a "mainstream" Republican

They're going to support maga next election regardless, but if/when they lose that's when maga will become irrelevant

To the MAGA Trumpanzee's, nothing happens. They are a literal cult that will follow and make excuses for Trump as long as he's alive. There are certain pockets of the country that will be devoted to him until he dies. Nothing will happen with Republicans in deep red states that would vote for Putin over a Democrat.

The damage to Republicans will be felt more in swing states.

No lies told here. This will also accelerate discrepancies in health, education, infrastructure etc

Trump did a great job of rehabbing Bush 43's image, and he was fukking despised by Dems.

He really did. Bush wouldn't have done 98% of the nonsense Trump pulled. No Jan. 6th, no mishandling of Covid, no colluding with Russia, no trying to extort leaders from Ukraine and Georgia, no talk about having a civil war and the Republicans of that era probably wouldn't have repealed Affirmative Action or Roe v. Wade. Bush was your typical corrupt politician. Cac wanted to fight wars, line his pockets and meddle in international affairs for America's benefit. Typical cac shyt but, he'd never call for people to storm the Capitol.

The funny thing is that back in 2012, I was dreading a Mitt Romney presidency. Trump shifted the scope of everything. Crazy.

A Republican being president is bad, but a Trump-style Republican is catastrophic.

I thought the same thing a few days ago. Back in the day, I was dreading the possibility of Romney or McCain winning.

But now compared to Trump they look like normal guys.

That’s what the spectrum moving to the right looks like. People in this thread saying Hogan is okay even tho he had Baltimore City kids sit in freezing schools in the winter.

George Bush stole an election and destroyed the Middle East and that’s fine. Mitt Romney was one of the start of the Private Equity destruction of America, and they are now okay.

It shows the lack of any political education most people have—having an understanding of how voters vote based on what the media tells you is not political education—and how far right things have moved.

Weren’t you voting for Cornell West instead of Biden?
