Republicans Have A Choice: Trump Or Themselves

 

     There can only be one explanation to the Republicans' loss in the 2020 election. They have already declared their intent to nominate Trump for president in 2024, and I hope they do, because they will get the same result. 

     The absolute refusal to disavow Trump, even by those who did not support him, was their downfall. From the conservatives fed up with Trump to the people left of left, and everyone in between, Biden's was a broad coalition, while the Republicans made it clear that only those absolutely loyal to Trump were welcome. Perhaps nothing is more indicative of this than the fact that his family holds key positions of leadership and his family also made up more than a quarter of RNC speeches.

     They have failed to recognize that most Americans are not loyalists to a single party. Reelections are a referendum on the president, and 2020 was the worst year a president has ever had, from being impeached to mishandling COVID-19, race relations, and the economic crisis.

     The election of 2024 will be here sooner than most are prepared to realize, and the Republicans have a choice to make: Donald Trump, or themselves.
