GOP megadonors ditch Donald Trump’s 2024 White House run

The Red Wave Didn’t Just Vanish

On Election Day, a small but crucial percentage of Republican voters deserted their party, casting ballots for Democratic nominees in several elections that featured Trump-backed candidates at the top of the ticket. 

In other words, 2022 produced a significant election that Democrats can legitimately celebrate, but it may have a short half-life.

The Chaos Inside Donald Trump’s Mind

The Leech Dismount

You were brave, Trump supporters! But it's time to move on.

The people who gave Trump more primary votes than any Republican in history weren’t idiots, haters or racists. To the contrary, anyone who withstood the slings and arrows to make Trump president in 2016 is not deplorable, but honorable. Not duped, but clear-eyed. They didn’t screw up; they did the right thing.

It may take some of them a little longer to figure out that we’ve gotten everything out of the leech that we’re ever going to get. But they are good and decent people and will realize soon enough: It’s over. We got our parasitic worm, and it’s time to move on. Sometimes the worm turns; sometimes we turn on the worm.
