What we are seeing are the results of a massive, electoral shock wave. 73 million people voted for Trump. 95% of them love HIM and not the Republican Party. The few Republicans who are willing to challenge Trump are in the minority. They might as well become Democrats. Trump now OWNS the Republican Party.

At this point, there are (probably) 71 million Trumpists and 2 million terrified “Republicans” who don’t know what to do, what to think, what to say, or where to go.
