My argument proceeds from two sets of assumptions. The first is that Trump’s continued prominence is bad electoral news for Republicans. Throughout 2016–2020, Trump brought voters into the Republican Party, but he always drove more away, supercharging Democratic turnout to previously unseen levels — partly by activating previous nonvoters, and partly by driving former Republican voters into the Democratic ranks.
DAN MCLAUGHLIN at the National Review. As a independent, a split government would have been fine with me.
The big event in the election was the Cal teachers union, let us not forget that. They were partly successful in owning Biden because Trump energized the opposition. Trumpsters do not have the foresight to catch these side effects, someone like Romney does, as does Liz Cheney.
Then there is the Trumpster effect on the small states. They have a difficult time recruiting smart Repubs as it is with the small population base. Look how Alaska struggles. We need the Romney wing of the party to help these small states get clues, otherwise they are doomed and we get sudden stops in the Swamp.
The Dems will always be delusional, always causing instability thinking we can be ruled from the Swamp, this is a common delusion among Cal politicians and unions.
Out of all these difficulties, the last thing we need are Trunpsters.
