Another instance of the state GOP turning against a Trump supporter for not supporting Trump enough:
https://www.thedailybeast.com/oklahoma-gop-turns-on-sen-james-lankford-for-not-worshipping-trump-enoughThis is, again, another instance about support for Trump the person, not about Trump’s policies.
I don’t think the state GOP endorsed Lankford’s opponent. Can you clarify that Ax. Maybe you can help the daily beast get a more accurate article.

The chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, John Bennett endorsed Lankford’s opponent.

As an individual not as party chair, correct?
Now why was it so hard for the daily beast to get that right?
So to conclude, the state GOP of Oklahoma did not endorse Lankdords opponent and therefore is MISLEADING.
But you are safe Ax because that will never keep up with the viral spread.

“Arizona State Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita was booed off stage at a rally featuring former President Donald Trump.

George P., son of Jeb, chose Trump over the Bush family.
Trump chose Ken Paxton, a rival who “was indicted for securities fraud and is under investigation by the FBI over donor dealings.”

Michigan GOP cannot get “top-notch professionals” to work for them because …
“From a staff and leadership perspective, I don’t know that top-notch professionals would want to go into this quagmire,” said Jeff Timmer, a former Michigan GOP executive director who opposed Trump. “Unless you’re going to talk crazy talk, they don’t want you there.”
The “crazy talk” refers to denying the fact that Trump lost in 2020 election in Michigan.

https://accountability.gop/The RAP?
Looks like a new kid on the block. The RAP seems to focus on voting rights issues rather than being anti-Trump per se.
It claims: “We are Republicans, former Republicans, and conservatives committed to protecting every American’s right to vote.”
It issues “report cards” for elected GOP officials rating their track records on voting rights issues: https://accountability.gop/report-card/

Trumpism Has Entered Its Final Form
In today’s Republican Party, Trump is becoming what was once unthinkable—conventional, unexceptional, even something of an establishment figure.
…
Two days later Alex Jones, the far-right radio host and conspiracy theorist Trump courted in 2016, rebuked Trump. After playing a clip of Trump declaring that the vaccines are working, Jones responded, “BS. Trump, that’s a lie. You’re not stupid.” Jones added, “Shame on you, Trump. Seriously. Hey, if you don’t have the good sense to save yourself and your political career, that’s okay. At least you’re gonna get some good Republicans elected, and you know, we like ya. But my God. Maybe you’re not that bright. Maybe Trump’s actually a dumbass.”

Ax, put aside your fixation on Trump for a minute and answer the question I've asked you three times now - are you still proud of Biden?
As for Trump, he just keeps on being proven right. The people he said would destroy the country ARE destroying the country. What do you think about how the democrat party is destroying the country, Ax?

In a new CNN poll released Sunday, 59 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say that believing Trump won the 2020 election is "important" to being a Republican—36 percent indicated that it's "very important" and 23 percent "somewhat important."

GOP Rep. Gonzalez of Ohio, one who voted to impeach Trump, announced that he will not seek re-election, citing “toxicity” within the GOP as a reason.

”Representative Anthony Gonzalez, one of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump, is the first of the group to retire rather than face a stiff primary challenge.”

Answer my question, Ax.
What do you think about the way the democrat party is destroying America?

Trump berates GW Bush as a “disaster”, calls Mitch McConnell a “disaster” and calls for the Senate GOP to fire McConnell.

I may be wrong, but iirc, you're not a fan of Bush the Lesser (as Quirt referred to him). I think you've been critical of the Minority Leader as well.
Good to see that you agree with The Orange Man.
