========== The GOP identity crisis is nothing new - https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/opinions/gop-house-majority-midterm-election-2022-dent/index.html and it defeated Cantor, Boehner, and Ryan. GOP is now more populist, working class and performative, thanks to Trump’s shattering of its internationalist, corporate legacy. At least in public. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/17/politics/republican-party-2024-identity-crisis-analysis/index.html But the money talks in private - some big GOP donors are already voting with their wallets - toward traditional megadonor goals. https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-credos.html#gop And if Murdoch has moved on, https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/politics/new-york-post-trump-2024-announcement/index.html how much of the Trump base will he bring with him?

But it's been two years since he has been president and at least two years before he can be president again - plenty of time for indictment, trial, conviction, and sentencing. And of course, he wants to beat his rivals to the media attention and the donors. Boosting Trump is more important to Trump than boosting the GOP by shutting up until after the runoffs - because he IS the GOP!

Who knows what any of them REALLY believe, beyond believing that they should be elected? What's more Trumpist than that? https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-donald-trump-campaigns-presidential-election-2020-497f7d79a175c4a7ade6fc0b8a1d2adf There was no such thing as a Trump-Pence agenda. There was just Trump's agenda - promoting Trump - which Pence faithfully upheld as long as he could. == Meanwhile, Ryan predicts Trump won't be GOP nominee in 2024. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/paul-ryan-predicts-trump-not-2024-republican-nominee He is correct that GOP leaders believe in herd mentality - once a critical few reject Trump in 2024, the dam will break and the trickle will be converted overnight into a torrent. But as far as Trump and his base are concerned, the Republican Party IS Trump's Trumpist Dixiecrat America-First fake-populist kleptocratic personality cult. And if the Republican Party betrays him by not nominating him, he'll find or found a party that will nominate him, to better take revenge. == Mozart conveniently wrote an aria for Trump, La Vendetta - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va6EVm5dZfc Tutta Mar-Lago conosce The Donald, il birbo Paul Ryan vinto sarà! ... il birbo Michael Pence vinto sarà! ... il birbo DeSantis vinto sarà!

They got change. At least one didn't like the change. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/28/trump-supporter-disappointment/ But Trump never changed. He was a self-serving opportunist in 2004 and 2014, and intends to do the same in 2024. Trump didn't blow an opportunity for public service - that was never his goal. He exploited an opportunity for self service, which is what he wanted, about as successfully as his competence would allow - just as in his previous business and entertainment careers. What did change during the Trump administration is that he normalized politics as 24x7 reality-TV self-serving cult of personality, completely rejecting the Enlightenment ideals of America's founders, with no concern about observing precedents from the past or setting precedents for the future. Trump's ignorance and incompetence meant that he didn't do as much harm as he might have - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/28/trump-book-white-house-bomb-mexico/ but his normalization means that the next abler, bolder Trumpist will accomplish much worse. Trump never understood that he was just another link in the chain joining his predecessors and successors - and so perhaps the weakest link of all in a chain that might yet break. Trump didn't blow his chance. He got elected and mostly did what he wanted, and he did it his way. Trump's supporters that wanted change blew their chance to address their legitimate grievances - https://www.political-scrapbook.net/trump.html#First%20Trump%20Constituency by letting Trump conflate them with all the worst impulses of America's lunatic fringes - https://www.political-scrapbook.net/trump.html#Second%20Trump%20Constituency who DID get what they wanted. And thus they all neatly served the needs of the megadonor ruling class minority rule - https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2020-minority.html by trading the chance to objectively improve their lives for a chance to joust at windmills. They voted for a reality-TV image of politics and got a reality-TV image of results - but no change of reality. They could have chosen somebody like Mike Pence, reactionary enough to suit the megadonor class and sign off on McConnell's program of billionaire tax relief, deregulation, and stacking the judiciary - https://www.political-scrapbook.net/2022-credos.html#gop without all the gratuitous drama, incompetence, corruption, violence, and security breaches. Instead they got Hang Mike Pence! In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, but in the land of the insane, the half-wit is hanged. - Walt Kelly, Pogo, 1960's. Prescient!

The leader must either find a way to help them master it, or move them to a job they can master.
