Great synopsis and well written although I ( and oh 70%+ of other R. voters) disagree with your opinion of Trump. Everything you said may be true but the pesky fact remains that Trump has taken over the R. party as far as actual voters are concerned this cycle. Just look at the polls to date. Throw the man in jail and his public support may actually increase as crazy as that sounds. You make no mention of the deep state. This primary is a referendum on the deep state. 2020 was at minimum a collusion of big tech, mainstream media, anti Trump repubs, FBI, CIA. and a host of other agencies and orgs against Trump. It was gross. Aside from the thoroughly discredited " Trump is a Russian mole " -(see Steele Dossier) the pinnacle was the 51 intelligence officers quickly penning the Hunter Laptop Is a Fake public letter. All these people colluded, organized, cheated/lied/broke laws, and misused their power to unduly influence the election. Do keep in mind that I haven't said one thing about actual ballots. My point is that yes Trump was indeed cheated in 2020 and everyone realizes that. And we did nothing. Nominating the likes of Christie just reinforces that...that Americans are perfectly fine with overtly cheating in elections...heck, we just might be fine with throwing a candidate in jail to prevent him from running. It's amazing that the degree of some people's deep hatred of Trump ( I get it, he has many many flaws. Yes. OK. ) is used to justify actions against him and indeed against freedom in USA. When will it become clear to the Never Trumpers that you're best anti Dem. chance is indeed supporting Trump. Obviously not now for them....but what about after a R nomination win by him? I'm guessing that the same anti Trumpers will persist in allowing their personal hatred to dominate over their rational thought ( bc that's exactly what this is ) and that they would continue to undermine his campaign in the general election as surely as the Dems/Media/IT/FBI/.gov agencies did in 2016 and 2020. Novel idea.... put aside your personal hatred, coalesce around your CLEAR current R. leader, and go win the general. But then again the key feature of anti Trumper conservatives is that they actually prefer losing ....as long as Trump isn't the winner. Brilliant. Brilliant I say.
