Jonathan Last: “There is no easy way out for Good Republicans. Extricating the party from Trump was always going to require pain.”
“They declined to accept that pain in 2016. They declined again in 2020. And 2021. I see no reason to believe that they’ll finally bite the bullet in 2024. Instead, I suspect that guys like Chris Sununu will try to get along by doing the bare minimum while hoping (again) that Democrats and the rest of America bail them out and clean up the mess for them.”
“They fail to understand that even if Trump loses to Biden again, he’ll still own the Republican party.”
