OOOOOOOOPS

I swear I posted this before I saw this article:
It feels like time for a Republicans in disarray! masterthread.
Also - seriously, where do they go from here? The obvious thing is to cultivate the normal Republicans and cut MAGA loose, or try to defang them as much as possible - but can they do that?
They need MAGA to win. 2024 is a great map for them, they have the house, and they’ll be running against Biden. The can stay the course and have a reasonably good shot at Congress and the presidency in two years
Which is why Biden must not run again. Time for dynamic, *articulate* new blood.
Except Biden beat Trump and overperformed in the midterms against MAGA candidates.
I feel like it's time to recognize MAGA as something that hurts Republicans in the polls, it doesn't help them. How many times do they have to lose? Yes the maps are better in the next cycle - but didn't they just learn that voters don't want their lousy MAGA candidates?
I'm the poster above who said Biden needs to go. I am left-wing. He needs to go: he has declined considerably these past few years, because the Presidency wrings the lifeblood out of people, and he makes an unacceptable number of gaffes. He's a NICE GUY. I LIKE HIM. HE'S HAD MANY ACHIEVEMENTS. But he will not survive a DeSantis challenge.
Make no mistake. Trump is done. It's DeSantis now, and he can out-debate Biden with both feet stuck up his nose hanging upside down over a bucket of semolina.

MAGA is horrible for them, but they haven't figured out how to get rid of it without Trump burning the whole thing down. They made a deal with the devil in 2016.
Oh, they are in a terrible position as a party - and it's all their own fault. I just find it really funny that after all these shellackings they're still coming here trying to give advice to Dems about what we HAVE to do and changes we have to make because MAGA is otherwise too strong to defeat.
