Trump doesn’t need MAGA anymore, but JD will if he aspires to higher office.

Trump doesn’t care about JD.

Trump is a mentally ill, demented narcissist. He does not care about anyone.
He is a brilliant con man, though. I'll give him credit for that.

Trump is the most gifted con man in the history of America.

But the MAGA base is finally sensing Donald Trump doesn't give a damn about white working class Americans. I think the break with Marjorie Tayler Greene is pretty significant. And she is gunning for those voters as she thinks about her political future. Throw in Tucker Carlson with all his issues with Trump. Add Nick Fuentes for the extremists. There are schisms all around for the Republican Party.

Democrats will likely win the House next November and I suspect they'll move to impeach Trump over a multitude of issues - from Epstein to corruption. This will fracture Republicans even further while Trump is a lame duck. It should be civil war within the Republican Party for the foreseeable future. And any Republican politician that has ambition will remove themselves from planet MAGA and that freak show.

But I've been surprised by the fealty of Mike Johnson and John Thune to the Trump grotesque before. So hopefully they get wiped out as things start to move quickly. And maybe we can have a sane GOP - Romney and McCain types - instead of this dangerous freak show. Trump is polling around 36 percent now - less than one year into his term. And that will decline significantly with each passing month. Trump is a sinking ship. But we shall see if Republicans believe in anything besides power.

The GOP is never going back to the Romney/McCain days. It is fully co-opted by populists and racists and people who are the opposite if fiscally conservative.

But nowadays politics is all about the money game. I think if the conservative billionaires funding them got their act together they could stuff the racists and extremists back into the closet where they belong.

But the conservative billionaires - usually inherited wealth - are the racists and extremists these days. Just google these families.

Oh, they absolutely could. But the chaos benefits them, and some of them are kind of racist too, so they won’t.
