I’m not certain Trump has a major hold on a significant portion of the population. I’m betting most Republicans are sitting on a razors edge sweating on the direction to take, desperately not wanting to slip.
The next Republican leader needs to either 1) get the exact same maga vote from 2016/2024 or 2) appeal to enough of Maga and enough of center. Neither are gonna work but that’s what they have to try. I’m guessing they’ll try number 2 so that means the best course of action is to simply not piss off Maga.
The ones that created this latest red wave? /s

They need the swing more than they need maga. Swing went blue this round. No reason it can’t go red next round.
I don’t think the swing likes maga very much anymore, but I’m sure they’re ok with “traditional” Republicans (being called RINO atm).
I’m pretty sure he set things up so all the money runs through him and/or his accomplices now, though.
