I disagree the Republican Party hasn’t said anything bad about Trump up until now because the Republican base loves Trump. Bill Kristol admitted that the GOP has placated this base since the Reagan days. However hate radio, and Fox News radicalized the base. The GOP elites lost control of the party and this all started after Bush jr tried to get immigration reform in his second term and the base damn near revolted and killed that bill. When Obama won this further radicalized the base. McCain had to make Palin his VP to try to placating the Republican racist base. Romney did the same with Paul Ryan who was the hero of the tea party. The base never liked McCain or Romney. They loved Trump and he won in 2016. So for them this gives them justification that going far right is the key to victory. Even though Trump’s victory was a fluke. The GOP rode on the white supremacist tiger and now the tiger is devouring them.

Once Trump loses the base will blame the Lincoln Project Republicans and the GOP is going even more far right with the Qanon bullshyt. When Dems are in power the GOP usually goes even further right. They dwell on being the insurgent party. The next Republican primaries are gonna be a blood bath. But the base are the real kingmakers. The GOP aren’t gonna expand the tent they will double down in voter suppression unless Dems win consecutive elections to maintain the trifecta.
All true. The Immigration reform (which Bush did to keep the chamber of commerce happy), killed the relationship.

I've been more bullish than most on here. Covid hitting the WH really put the final nail in the coffin imo and was when I started feeling comfortable that Biden would sweep these states. It's terrifying to think that if Trump had just done an average job on covid and acted like a responsible adult from the beginning, he probably wins this thing comfortably. Historians are going to look back and wonder why didn't he just sit back and listen to the scientists. It was such an unforced foolish error.

Just like Hitler lost WWII by doing stupid shyt.

Getting sick in his household was considered a weakness. Plus he is just a moron, why did he build the Taj Mahal when all the experts told him it will cannibalize his other casinos?

This is my final map.

Only change I made from my last one is I gave Iowa to Trump.

Sticking with Biden sweeping FL, GA, OH, and NC. Biden loses TX by 2-3 pts.

Me & you have the exact same map. I turned IA polls red after reading the fukkery around the Iowa polls. Texas can't really be trusted b/c of GOP voter suppression tactics.

Young people that don't have good parental figures and especially the fatherless love to feel different and contrarian for attention. Mix that with trolls and misinformation and a toxic music culture that breeds that dumb shyt and you have your answers.

So much ignorance and racism in one post:wow:

Thay may try to go far right again, but I don't think they will be as successful. Populist nationalism requires a charismatic leader. I can't think of anyone else in or near the GOP that can take up Trump's unique mantle that has the recognition that he has. Tom Cotton? Matt Gaetz?

Tom Cotton has that Mitch McConnell face to him, turtlish.
Matt Gaetz looks like a Eddie Munster reject.

Trump, for as much as a b*stard as he was, didn't look like a politician. Gaetz and Cotton look like politicians.
