Trump’s 'yes men' are driving Republicans toward disaster
The Republican Party needs its Sir Geoffrey Howe moment.
TL;DR
- Republicans need a Trumpist leader to warn President Trump of impending political disaster.
- The party faces grim electoral prospects due to low enthusiasm, loss of suburban support, and voter exhaustion.
- Influential figures and internal assessments suggest Democrats are likely to win the House.
- The administration is criticized for being isolated, focusing on social media posts and score-settling over governing.
- Modern politics is nationalized, making congressional races referendums on the president.
- A significant Republican defeat could open the door for a 2028 presidential challenge, potentially from Marco Rubio.
- The party needs less performance politics and more actual governance to avoid a political disaster.
