    The GOP is the party of Trump now. Haley came out swinging at Trump in the primaries. Her career as a GOP politician is over. They’ll run Don Jr. in 2028 before they run Haley.

      Doubt it. Trump is hanging on by a fingernail. The entire GOP infrastructure is teetering on the edge with it.

      They get slammed every election recently, Roe v Wade is against them and their strongest part is nobody wants Joe Biden. GOP is on life support brother.

          I’ve said it since they threw Palin beside McCain. They don’t have an end goal, they were circling the drain then

      The GOP is the party of Trump insomuch as it gets them votes from the unwashed masses. If Trump goes to jail and public opinion somehow starts to sour, they’d endorse someone else like Haley instead.

      More likely, though, is that MAGA voters continue to support any politician who turns Trump’s persecution complex into their campaign goals. Maybe they win the presidency and the fascism train kicks on under some Trump sycophant, or maybe the continued extremism and fragmentation of the Republican party costs them more and more elections until the movement eventually just fizzles out.
