Maybe Republicans need to smell the coffee, make decisions on their own, and leave Trump out of it. He’s out of office, for crying out loud, though it’s hardly seemed that way. He’s clueless, no student of history, and he’s never had a handle on governance. He’s a pretender of the first magnitude, yet people keep lining up to ride his coattails.
Just because he’s running for POTUS again should make no difference whatsoever. He shouldn’t be able to run again, for one thing—the 14th Amendment provision should have ended his run a long time ago. And his inherent offensiveness should have ended his eligibility before that. He’s his own attempt at being a thug, the kind of persona he seems intent on conveying.
He boasted about his “big” win in Iowa, where he got 51% of the 15% of eligible voters that ventured out on a cold night. Where was everybody else? Did they just figure Trump had it in the bag, or did they not care enough about Trump and the rest of the slate of candidates to make an effort to get to the caucuses?
Anyway, even though he’s yakking constantly, he says nothing, ever, and can’t offer a cogent, thoughtful commentary on anything. He’s perpetually angry, sarcastic, motivated more by vengeance and a need to prevail than any love of country. One might reasonably think he’d be unduly distracted by everything currently on his plate! And, for some reason, he’s still a media darling. Ugh.
How impotent can a party get?
