The Trumpification of the GOP Is Complete (Josh Kraushaar) from National Journal
"Republican voters primarily care if their candidates agree with President Trump. Even as the president diverges from a typical conservative agenda, the demand for loyalty is becoming even more intense."
I cannot see that this is anything but bad news both for the GOP and Trump voters generally. As I noted on Lynn's program the other day, Trump (thankfully) is a unique politician. I see NO ONE in the Republican Party who commands anything like the loyalty that the great orange one commands. Again, thankfully, Trump's presidency will be a finite thing. Thus, the question becomes: once the question of loyalty to Trump disappears, WHO are these people going to vote for?! Are they going to passively drift back to the Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell wing? I can't see it. How about the Trump wannabe up-and-comers?! I can't see that either. Those folks are all third rate talents -- and it remains to be seen whether any of them can actually win in a general election. This fall's election is going to reveal SO MUCH!! -- Nuggetsman
