Lindsey Graham said something *very* important about Donald Trump and the GOP - CNNPolitics
What was that about the GOP "moving forward"?
Thoughts?
"He's the most popular Republican in the country by a lot," Graham said of Trump in an interview with Fox News. "If you try to drive him out of the Republican Party, half the people will leave."
Yes they will! And if half (or even a third) of people who identify as Republicans right now left the party if there were a concerted effort on behalf of the establishment -- such as it is -- to rid the party of Trump, then the GOP would have approximately a 0.0% chance of winning a national election.
Which Trump knows. And Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell knows. And House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy knows.
(Worth noting: Republicans lost control of the White House, the Senate and the House during Trump's time in office.)
