GOP Done With The Don?
The GOP support for former President Trump seems to be in free fall. ‘The Hill’
“Republican lawmakers say GOP voters are shifting away from former President Trump because of widespread doubt he can win a general election in 2024.
They say the disappointing results of the 2022 midterm elections, in which several high-profile Trump-endorsed candidates lost key races, reenforced the view that Trump doesn’t appeal to independent and moderate GOP voters. ”
Donald Trump remains wildly popular with the hardcore GOP base that come out in droves to vote for candidates in primary elections. That zeal is not shared by the broader GOP base not to mention the electorate at large and therein in lies the GOP dilemma. Politics is all about winning and candidates who do not deliver are cast aside regardless of former levels popularity, you are only as good as your last election. And the last election was dismal for Republicans.
