He won't come back in 2024, but he did practically transform the GOP. You have the establishment types, the Lincoln Project cucks, and you have the radicals that support Trump.
The difference between the two will become interesting the next 2 years. My guess is the establishment types will win. They'll manage to maintain seats in the Senate and the House, but will continue to struggle with the WH because they just don't get it at a national level.
If the 'establishment types' again dominate the party and insist on running the likes of McCain and Romney they will continue to lose BIG TIME. The people have seen that the future lies with the 'populist' movement Trump showed could be a big winner for them. Major question going forward is what will be changed relative to the election laws (mail ins, ballot harvesting, illegal voting in all the forms we have seen this year, etc). If the Dems gain control of Senate along with the House and WH the Republicans face extinction asa a political force. With the probability of stacking the Supreme Court so that no ruling goes against their desires, adding Liberal States so that they have a near guarantee of majorities for the foreseeable future, abolishing much of the Constitution, especially the Electoral College system that a would allow the few large States/Cities to control elections, open borders with all or greater rights that citizens would have, etc. we devolve into the equivalent of an irrelevant World 'former power' and look like others who have tried Socialism/Communism/Marxism with decline was a predicted outcome. The Dems have plotted and seem to have succeeded in setting in motion the necessary steps tp take over and destroy what was stated 250 years ago. Hard to imaging how tis Country can survive and look at all like that into which we were born several years ago. Sad that we have allowed this travesty to unfold. I see a difficult, if not nearly impossible, task to attempt reconstruction of what will have been destroyed in a few short years of a Biden, Harris, AOC, Bernie, etc. rule. we who are old will be spared the horror. Our children and grandchildren will fail to garner the liberties, freedoms, and successes that were expected by those generations that preceded them.
The mighty Casey has struck out,
