S.E Cupp: Trump and the GOP in tatters

[Meathead]

I said way back in the beginning of 2016 that if Trump were to get the nomination and actually pull off a win he'd bring long term destruction to the Republican Party. It unfolded exactly as predicted.

Where, pray tell, is this destruction? If he didn't destroy the GOP in 2020 do you think he will in the mid-terms? I think the GOP will take back both houses.

Did you read the whole article?

Excerpt:

Was it worth the near-constant embarrassments of an ignorant, dishonest, petulant and puerile president who humiliated our country on the world stage with his gross incompetence and undignified antics?

Was it worth losing any moral or ethical high ground the party could once claim by ignoring or defending a whole catalog of terrible behavior, from multiple allegations of rape to orphaning migrant children, interfering in U.S. elections to inciting violence at the Capitol?

Republicans long ago made the Faustian bargain to put up with all of that in exchange for things they insisted were worth Trump’s many troubles, including tax cuts, conservative judges, moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and more.

But now, as Biden takes office and Democrats take control of Congress, most of those things appear to have been fleeting. Indeed, the short-term sugar high of Trump’s perceived accomplishments is about to come crashing down.

In just the first 10 days of his presidency, Biden has already promised to undo a long list of Trump acts, according to Chief of Staff Ron Klain.

Remember how excited Republicans got when Trump unceremoniously pulled out of the Paris climate accord? Biden can rejoin it without much ceremony, and likely will.

He can also rejoin the Iran nuclear deal that Trump quit in 2017, a move Republicans applauded at the time.

Biden can reverse Trump’s travel ban, which prohibited travel to and from some Muslim-majority countries, a policy Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz insisted had nothing to do with religion or ethnicity but was merely in the “interest of national security.”

As part of his covid-19 relief plan, Biden can rejoin the World Health Organization, and plans to extend eviction and foreclosure restrictions and increase the federal minimum wage.

He’ll overhaul many of Trump’s anti-immigrant policies like family separation, and restore the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. He can relax the process of applying for extending visas.

Trump was unable to repeal and replace Obamacare, as he promised, but he did manage to chip away at some of its provisions. Biden can restore and strengthen many of those via executive actions.

Did you see the down-ballot results?

Yep. I did. And on the morning of November 4th, Republicans woke up to find they dodged a bullet. The previous night should have been the end of their party. Instead, people focused on the main problem and took out the trash (Trump). But, like Republicans always seem to do, instead of finding ways to re-invent their party and start making policy that helps the average worker (you know, to increase their popularity), they chose to be even bigger sycophants and enablers as Trump whining, bitched, moaned, threatened, and sued his way across 6 states trying to get the election overturned. He tries to get GA officials to "find him 11,870 votes". He goes on a war against these so called "RINOs" and anyone he perceives as an enemy on his side of the aisle and costs Republicans the two GA Senate seats and control of the Senate. He encourages and then eggs on a violent insurrection on January 6th. All the while his willing enablers look on in silence or stand with him in solidarity.

All those bullets dodged? All that momentum Republicans gained on 11/3/2020....is GONE. What are they left with? Dr. Suess, Mr. Potato Head...and Brittany Spears!
They have nothing. Trump has succeeded in tearing the party apart. Works for me.

They've got most state houses and governorships, SCOTUS, half the Senate and increased their share of the House. More than that, they still have Trump while the Dems have Biden.

Works for me.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The reality is rational Americans know the election was stolen. The demleftists will pay the price in 2022 and 2024.

 

[Blackrook]

Democrats stole the election otherwise Trump would have been re-elected.

So the OP is total bullshit.

Conservative columnist S.E. Cupp writes of the downfall of Donald Trump and the GOP:

Trump’s legacy was in tatters before he lost to Joe Biden, but in the ensuing months, he really managed to burn it to the ground. Historians, even without the benefit of hindsight, have already declared him the worst president in American history.

Let’s not forget, Trump also leaves a big stink-bomb of a parting gift to the GOP — Democratic control of both houses of Congress.

This all raises the question: Was it worth it, Republicans? Was carrying Trump’s fetid water around for four years worth the baggage, the guilt by association or, in some cases, the actual guilt of doing Trump’s dirty work?

Was it worth the impeachments — plural — the current and sure-to-come lawsuits, the resignations, the revolving door of users, losers and grifters?

Was it worth the domestic terrorism — a rise during Trump’s tenure of white supremacy and anti-Semitic attacks, and a revolt at the Capitol that left five people dead?

Was it worth the near-constant embarrassments of an ignorant, dishonest, petulant and puerile president who humiliated our country on the world stage with his gross incompetence and undignified antics?

Was it worth losing any moral or ethical high ground the party could once claim by ignoring or defending a whole catalog of terrible behavior, from multiple allegations of rape to orphaning migrant children, interfering in U.S. elections to inciting violence at the Capitol?

S.E. Cupp: Republicans, was it worth it?

Donald Trump has joined a kind of losers club, becoming one of only five presidents since 1900 to fail in his reelection bid. Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush, whatever we think of their presidencies now, were all given the boot by voters who said, erm

FAKE NEWS ALERT!

Its OPINION, Moe... not news.

They're conditioned to scream FAKE NEWS at anything they don't like, and then beat on it with a stick.

Think of it as Trumpster Tourette's.

Democrats stole the election otherwise Trump would have been re-elected.

Do you actually believe the election was stolen in spite of ALL evidence to the contrary??? Why would you believe Trump?

 

[Mac1958]

In the GOPs mind it was worth it. They kept HRC out of the WH. Remade the judiciary and passed a massive tax cut. The reactionary wing found its voice driving out the moderates as well as the conservatives. “Faustian bargain” was an apropos description.

The Republican Party played the frog to the Trump scorpion...

It's so weird, living in historic times. I wish I could fast-forward to see how it all turns out.

I never thought I'd see a group psychopathy like this, in America. Never.

So what republican was going to get elected in 2016? We saw that many of the candidates were RINO's. Cruz was the best of the lot and is Presidential. Trump was electable and if nothing else, gave us the chance to still try to make a choice before we go to total tyranny. Progs un power will now guarantee it. Another thing about Trump. He came out of nowhere with high negatives from most of his own voters. He convinced them. Most agendas in what most politicians on both sides promoted over the years.

That is some serious TDS right there.

If you think "Trumpster" is an actual word, you might be a TDS afflicted moron.

My God.. Cruz is every bit as creepy as Trump.

S.E. Cupp misses the point. Trumpism is a cult. It is not about policy but personality. Cult followers will go down with the cult leader.

This is indeed a shit show. But I'm not making any long-term assumptions.

The Democrats still have to be more attractive, and they're more than capable of failing at that. 2020 was a good example, outside of schlonging Trump. The Dems under-performed.

The chasm is so wide now that both parties are presenting some pretty easy targets.

Sippy Cupp is a dyed-in-the-wool rightwing conservative Republican, and I hate her guts for it.

However, even that partisan hack knows what destruction Trump has brought to her party.

Shows any thinking person just how far the Republican Party has fallen.

 

[blackhawk]

People said this about the Republicans after the 2008 election they said it about Democrats after the 2016 election and they will say it again after the 2024 election no matter which party wins.
