The GOP is not the party of Trump
Actually, they're not a party at all. Nobody in their right mind should ever vote for them again.
But folks are likely to regard this as crazy talk. The only GOP candidates that can actually have a chance to win might as well be Democrats. But even John McCain lost.
Nobody on the GOP side can hold conservatives and have a chance in an election.
The reason is that the "RINOS" will do what they just did to Trump. They did the same to Goldwater. Reagan was an exception that will not likely be repeated. Bush won because he feigned conservatism, but governed more like a Democrat.
The people that Trump got won't be back. This bunch has no chance of a repeat without Trump, but they won't support Trump. The support he has is just window-dressing. It is as fake as this party is.
Calling it Trump's party means nothing. The never-Trumpers still control this party, and they want it for themselves. But the never-Trumpers are like the Beatles "Nowhere Man". This party is nowhere. It isn't the Party of Trump, it is the party of Nobody.
