RINO’s

If Trump has a 96% approval rating in the Republican Party and MAGA is now 100% of the party like he claims, why did 25-40% of the people in virtually every Republican primary vote against him?

Those people are RINO’s. Right?

It’s so much easier when you can simply redefine reality, and the political press goes along with it because “objective journalism.”

Trump has not won an election since 2016 or led his party to victory once, and yet he is a political powerhouse who is extraordinarily popular and controls the GOP and is a man to be reckoned with. 

The leadership of the GOP is now Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and J.D. Vance and James Comer and Gym Jordan. The House GOP has dwindled to the barest majority possible, disgust with Congress is at an all-time high, Trump is days away from bankrupting the party for his legal woes, even Karl Rove is sounding the alarm on FoxNews (the only outlet that will still talk to him), and yet the consensus among pundits is that Joe Biden is old and the Soviet Union GOP is not on the verge of historic collapse. Because that’s never happened before.

Well, it has (the Democratic Party is far older than the GOP), but not within living memory, so it can’t happen now. Right?

Right?

That “Joe Biden is old” meme? I think that’s as national a concern as the “uncommitted” protest vote of Arab-Americans in MI/MN. Turns out they weren’t even the tail, much less wagging the dog. Political “analysis” is mostly about chasing shiny things in hopes of having something to talk about.

Besides, Trump doesn’t need the votes. Surprising how many people ignore that sentiment, as if it were either perfectly normal, or perfectly innocuous. I think it’s perfectly revealing of how disconnected from reality Trump is. He’s clearly swimming in a sea of his own desperate fantasy.

But then, I’m not a political pundit.
