" ... Donald Trump has had a terrible couple of months — and still leads national polls for the Republican nomination handily.
Almost everything that he’s done lately — really, everything since he’s left office — should redound to his discredit, and yet he remains in a relatively strong position.
That he could take a large hand in blowing the 2022 mid-terms, follow that up with a limp campaign announcement, immerse himself in bizarre and unnecessary controversies (pass the ketchup, Kanye), attack an up-and-coming Republican governor in crude and sophomoric terms, and not just live to tell the tale, but stay at the head of the pack may be the most astonishing testament to the power of his political brand yet. ...

Oh c'mon, man, Joe Biden isn't so bad!!!
By the way, you may like to know that your use of the term "blind" is ableist and thus politically incorrect. You should use "unknowledgeable" or something similar to be less offensive.

If pure bs was a source for electricity, you’d be worth some real money. Your opinion of PC is likely is of no interest to anyone.

There’s been a lot of buzz about DeSantis, understandably, who’s done all the right things to establish a national brand, win credibility with populists, and cultivate big donors. But there should be no mistake regarding Trump’s leadership of the party, he can set up like the Texans defending their canon at the Battle of Gonzales and defy his adversaries to “come and take it.” ...

I've always hoped that Trump would ruin the GOP, and it looks like it's happening. Good. Time to put an end to the GOP, and Trump is the poison that might do it.
