The GOP is Trump’s party.

The GOP is Trump’s party.

This is not that surprising. But its still early days. He could get a challenge if enough of the others drop out early. Hayley is the only one, Ron D having fkd up big time. And her only route t winning is all others stand aside and the various anti Trump supporters donors and political figures on the right all come out and support her. Even then she would do well to get to over 40%. But even getting there might help wake a few up to an alternative option.

It's depressing really.

I could see Hayley winning if they can finally oust the Mango Mussolini.

I think she's angling more to his be VP mind.

Haley is not a viable Republican candidate. She is the kind of candidate that Democrats and liberals think Republicans should have. Democrats like her because she is a creature of the bloviated system of corruption and kickbacks, and liberals like her because she comes across as a beatable conservative who they can still like after they've crushed her.

If Trump drops out today, Haley's numbers won't change. Ramaswamy and DeSantis will simply rise up into the 30s. Almost no rank-and-file conservative voter likes Haley. She is a military industrial complex candidate with victimhood points. Yuk!

This is a good assessment. The days of country club Republicans like Bush family, Cheney, Romney, and etc are dead for the foreseeable future. The base that Trump has monopolized have made it loud and clear about their feelings towards those type of Republicans so anytime I hear about the likes of Hayley I just laugh. The monster of a base that the GOP has crafted since the start of the Southern Strategy are now taking the reins.

Some of your analysis is right.

1. The Republican base is not a monster though. It's just your average Americans tired of terrible government representation that's unresponsive to the majority.

Yes, you are right though, Country club type Republicans aren't really that popular.

I find it incredible that Trump can even run for election let alone win! Bonkers.
