The GOP Death Wish

 The current GOP now stands for "Gladly out of power" as elected Republicans are doing everything they can to commit political suicide, becoming a permanent minority in national, and in many cases state and local, politics.

The GOP's behavior ever since Donald Trump transitioned from television and real estate impresario to presidential candidate, then president, ex-president, and now candidate once again, suggests a death wish, leading conservatives and Republicans to wonder why we even bother voting.

Did the intel community have dirt and leverage on influential Republicans or were Republicans part of the uniparty's goal of self-preservation?

Where were Republicans? Such vote shenanigans likely cost Republicans the Senate and almost the House.

Republicans played along with theatrical January 6 committee hearings, offered minimal resistance to two "Trumped-up" impeachments of President Trump, seven Republican senators even voting to convict Trump and remove him from office.

Do not Republicans, including the numerous GOP presidential candidates, realize that they are next, depending on how much they advance toward the White House and how serious they are about challenging the deep state, versus going along to get along, managing the decline, sharing in the ruling class perks and power if they follow the playbook? We had two Bushes who played this role brilliantly, as would the non-Trump-like John McCain and Mitt Romney if they were elected.

Although an improbable alliance, think Donald Trump and RFK, Jr. Rasmussen Reports finds half of likely U.S. voters with a favorable impression of RFK, Jr. If he can peel off 20-30 percent of Democrats and Trump can keep his MAGA base, this is a third party that could win or at least throw the election into the U.S. House where the GOP may have one last chance to prove their relevancy to voters.
