A growing number of Republican National Committee members believe its campaign arm should help pay mounting legal bills for former President Donald Trump, a move that could strain the party’s ability to financially support other candidates in the 2024 election.
Do you not remember GW Bush?
If you didn’t live thru, you might believe that no Republicans supported him while president, because as soon as he left office they all said they never did
When trump is gone, it’ll be the same.
They’ll drop him in an instant, move to the next one, and claim that’s how it’s always been.
They do it with damn every president.
Hell, look at fucking Regan, he managed to hang on a little, but it was the same thing
This happens over and over and over…
But you’re just going to keep disagreeing, and I don’t think explaining it a 4th time will help
Yes, I was 18 in 2000.
He was not a cult of personality the way Trump is. There is nobody who can follow him. The GOP is no longer fostering a clear successor like they used to. You can see this in how well Trump-endorsed candidates do in their elections. Even when they win, they under perform, because Trump voters want the man himself, not his lackeys.
For every L Ron Hubbard (where the organization goes on without him more or less as it was), there are a hundred Oneida cults (where the leader being jailed left the group a shadow of what it was).
