Republicans Need to Get Ready for the Trump Aftershock

[longknife]

Another Atlantic diatribe about how badly fractured the RNC is because of Trump.



With multiple Republican House members, GOP senators from six states, and at least four GOP governors all withholding their support, Trump is already facing more defection from current elected officials than Goldwater did. And, compared to Goldwater’s relations with Eisenhower, Nixon, and even Thomas Dewey, who was most skeptical of him, Trump is much more estranged from most other recent GOP presidential nominees. That separation ranges from open opposition from Mitt Romney to pointed silence from George Bush elder and younger to chilly detente with John McCain.



The only "defectors" are the Bush/Romney establishment types that tens of millions voted against anyway. Their numbers are minuscule compared to those who will go to the poll to elect President Trump.



So, live with it.

And after Trump has lost the election, he'll go back to Trump Tower to run his business, and leave the GOP to pick up the broken crockery of another disappointing general election.
