This Ought to Scare the Bejesus Out of Republican Leadership

From Taegan Goddard's Wonderful Reporting

Political Wire



Most Republicans Approve of Trump Snubbing Leaders


"A new HuffPost/YouGov poll finds that Republicans approved of President Trump’s decision to side with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi over his own party’s leadership on the debt ceiling deal, 62% to 18%.
Trump voters registered their support by an even broader margin, 69% to 14%."

Now why is this so critical?  It mean the Republican voters have no real loyalty to the Party; their loyalty is to Trump.  If Trump thought he could snub the GOP before, this confirms it.  There is probably nothing Trump can do to lose his base, and if he decides to blow up the Republican Party and preside over the ruins then a Gnome Like Mitch and Hypocrite Paulie can kiss their butts goodbye.

Trump is rapidly becoming a cult figure, where the dedication of a part of the population to him is so strong that een when he goes against there interests they still support him.  The most recent example here was Caesar Chavez in Venezuela.  The man destroyed that nation before he died, and yet his followers revered him, and many still do.  That this is dangerous to a society is borne out in what  happens to countries who develop a cult leader.  It is not good..
