  • I find it quite surprising to the extent that the Republicans are staying loyal to Trump, and that toeing the party line remains standing behind his madness and bullshit, even after all the legal challenges are over and the game is clearly up.

    As self-serving continuity types, I kind of expected them to distance themselves from him and pretend they didn't spinelessly prop him up for the last 4 years. Surely it's damaging to the traditional Republican image.

    Terrifying to think that it's likely because the crazy Trumpists now outnumber the (already awful) traditional Republicans and it's their best strategy.

  • They're not loyal to Trump.

    They're just appearing loyal to him because their entire base is now Trump supporters. Appearing disloyal to Trump means losing all the nutcases that vote because of him.

    The big problem for them is how they engage these voters should Trump disappear from politics.
