Elder is ghastly and destined to oblivion. Good riddance
This was a
Trumpian Republican disaster and one must wonder why they bothered especially when Newsom won with a bigger margin than his election.
This sets
Gavin Newsom up for a presidential run should Biden decide not to run in 24.
The Republican
power bigwigs must be wondering how they can unshackle themselves from Trumpism as it's leading their party to oblivion or a bad split.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2 elections now by millions. Why they think he'd prevail in 2024 is a mystery.
With the
Texas abortion issue the Republicans are courting further disaster with the Mid-Term elections. The majority of Woman voted Biden / Harris in '20 and are likely to react badly over the Texas decision as will millions of women in other states.
Putting on my
Mystic Meg hat..I predict further wins for the Democrats in '22 and they will then take the opportunity to expand the Supreme Court by 2 new Justices.
Give it time but I reckon real anger will grow within the Republican Party over Trump's endless disastrous influence as the power brokers (the real billionaires) work out how to ditch him permanently and consign Trump to his own oblivion.
## Politics is utterly brutal and most certainly in the USA: I see signs already of former Republican and Trump allies not only distancing themselves from Trump but disclosing all sorts of unsavory matters normally kept secret (yes the Democrats have them as well..Biden has supported racist decisions in the past).
The stab in the back always comes from your own party..just as
Margret Thatcher , triumphant for so long (but not really- 11 years seems a lifetime) was frogmarched in tears out of No.10 by her own colleagues and deposited into a taxi.
