Jonathan Last on what Trump got right:
“Republican voters. For 40 years it was dogma that Republican voters wanted a president who blended social and fiscal conservatism and waited his turn to run. In 2016, Trump understood that Republican voters no longer wanted any of those things. They wanted the craziest son-of-a-bitch available”
For the last 8 years I’ve said is the end result of the Rush Limbaugh-ification of the Republican Party.
Pat Buchanan tried to pull off what Trump did. The party wasn’t ready to completely let it’s freaking flag fly yet.
Another couple decades of that hateful bigot Limbaugh and those who wanted to follow in his footsteps and the perfect vessel arrived.
Someone like Limbaugh who didn’t really give a shit about Republican or conservative “principles” in his personal life but has no qualms about forcing them on everyone else.

You’ve gotten nothing “ right.”
Just more of your self patting on the back routine that we have seen tens of times here over the years.
The point of the above was that Trump is the personification of today’s Republican Party and has simply completed the logical fulfillment of Pat Buchanan and Rush Limbaughs contortion of so called “ conservatism.”
You ,on the other hand ,continue to insist that he isn’t a Republican,a totally absurd position given the fact that his support among those who call themselves Republicans is overwhelming.
Instead you blabber on and on ad nauseum about the so called “ moderates” ( who aren’t really moderate at all but are just what used to be deemed “ conservative “ and can’t stomach the Rapist)who constitute a rather small and decreasing presence in the party and exercise no influence whatsoever and whose apparent titular “ leader,”Nikki Haley, is now supporting the Rapist.
Once again you just continuously make up something ,repeat it over and over and then it becomes your reality.
Dumb, stupid and ridiculous.

Ok
AGAIN…….
Donald J. Trump has NO Real political political affiliation……
He may be the ‘leader’ of most Republicans
But?
He HAS jump ‘pimped’ the party to get his OWN THING
His sexual misconduct has CHANGED the social conservative bloc
His abortion dances also
His getting in bed with Putin has changed the party’ on democracy
His disregard for the military is certainly NOT Republican
His disregard for ‘law and order’ flys in the face of Republicans pre-Trump
Jack?
U can keep trying to sell ur point of view
But
Under close scrutiny?
Donald Trump is a old guy that REALLY NEVER changed
He IS about CHANGING the world to fit his chaotic advantage
The current criminal trial in Manhattan is a prime example of how a Mafia type operation was and is an ex-President got over ONCE , but now has the system clawing back on him….
And Jack?
If he loses come November?
You and I will watch the Republicans drop his big sorry ass so fast it will make ur head spin……
jamesb says
Believe the view that Republicans are Actually weak and scared of us ‘regular and normal’ people…….
Trump figured THAT shit out and has been riding it EVERY day…….
Didn’t work in 2020?
Let’s see if the media works for this time
The stumbling IS MORE apparent every day
The party eating it’s own
And Trump chooses different sides
jamesb says
And I readily admit….
It IS unnerving that a sexual predator, that is up against 88 criminal charges IS even with the guy who beat him 3 1/2 years ago…..
SOMETHING IS WRONG…..
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Back in 2016, Steve Bannon said out loud what I’d also thought at the time, that Donald Trump and his brand (Bannon, Stephen Miller, et al.) had executed a successful hostile takeover of the once-Grand Old Party.
The last eight years are just completing the process.
Unlike Jack, I hope that a sufficiently-sharp defeat might make room for a more-traditional, responsible Republican Party, but I don’t inflate my hopes. The crushing 40-60% record defeat of Barry Goldwater [nominated by a mob of duly-elected John Birchers and segregationists who shoved aside and shouted down Rockefeller, Romney, Scranton et al.] led to the victory of Richard Nixon four years later and that of Ronald Reagan in 1980.
¶ Those who have the patience might study how Hitler and the Nazis took over the entire space of traditional monarchists, conservatives, nationalists, ultramontane Catholics and capitalists, crowding out everyone else, in the early 1930’s.

My sentiments also DSD……
They just laid down for the guy….
As has happened in in the past in different places also
History repeats itself
