What is needed is something like the cultural shift of, . . . 'smoking is not cool'. As in, 'MAGA is definitely not cool'.

If that happens, Dems are in. Whatever tips the balance:

- trump is so corrupt, or
- trump is such a flaming asshole, or
- trump is treasonous, or/and
- ___________, or

[George Will] also warned that the Republican Party and its embrace of President Donald Trump was doing massive damage and all but guaranteeing that young Americans would flock toward Democrats for years to come.

“Young people have made up their mind about the Republican Party, that it’s kind of the dumb party,” he said.

He has always come across to me as some holier than thou patrician that thinks he can define what "conservatism" is. I'm sure he has an altar to Reagan somewhere in his mansion. If anyone thinks he has any sway in what the Republican party is today, they are nuts.

They elect the worst person they can find, so McConnell can rule with an iron hand. They ALL took Russian money, made pilgrimages to Moscow, currying favor with Putin and the rest of them. Didn't a group of them make the trip last July 4th? This year they will be commanded to stay in DC, to hear their dear leader make the celebration all about him.

It is probably his lack of influence that bothers him the most: such a Smart Guy in a party of Stupid People. It seems a just punishment for decades of sins.
