    Not true.

    Thought Trump did pretty well, by actual measures.

      What are those "actual measures"?

        He did, but at a cost to the country. Ditch the man, keep the policies.

            It would seem the party may be moving beyond him. I think alienating DeSantis was a big mistake.

              I think we've trod this ground so much that only the very stupid or the very trollish would not understand by now

                    It is not so much no discipline as an inability to view his every utterance as anything other than ultimate power.

                    It's a brain thing.

                      I'm not sure DeSantis is directionally sanctimonious anyway, even rhetorically. The Disney stuff is anti-sanctimony. There isn't much sanctimony in the trollish transport of the immigrants.

                      Education is extremely important.

                            I don't think he ever had the majority of TNCR. He was just preferable to the alternatives for many. I did not vote for him in 2016 but was pleased by most of his policies. He was a better president than I thought until the end.

                            But I don't want him back.

                                The Republicans have so many things they could focus on - the economy, debt, inflation, crime, immigration, the list goes on.

                                If instead they decide to make this election about Donald Trump, then they deserve to lose. By a lot.

                                    That's like 4-5 Prime Ministers ago, now.

                                      I’m sure Trump will do what he can to make it about himself, and of course the Democrats will, mostly through existential threat messaging. But I doubt the Republican Party will be doing much to make it about Trump.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        The Republicans have so many things they could focus on - the economy, debt, inflation, crime, immigration, the list goes on.

                                        If instead they decide to make this election about Donald Trump, then they deserve to lose. By a lot.

                                        You meant to say Democrats, right? What else have they spoken about for the last 22 months?

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          It makes sense for the Dems to make it about him, due to the economy, debt, inflation and so on. They know that if they insult him, he will respond and the whole dialogue becomes about him.

                                          It’s up to the Republicans to break this. Trump sure as hell can’t.
