Trump Blows Up the Arizona GOP on His Way Out

“The Trump era did more damage to the Republican Party in Arizona than almost anywhere else. Over the past two years, Republicans lost both Senate seats. In November, the state flipped Democratic in a presidential race for the first time since 1996. The GOP state party chair is currently at war with the governor,” Politico reports.

“President Trump’s fingerprints are on all of it, yet the state party will likely pass a resolution next week to officially “support & thank” the president. It’ll also vote on measures to censor three prominent Republicans who were deemed insufficiently beholden to Trump: Gov. Doug Ducey, former Sen. Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain, the wife of the late senator.”

1. It's nice how the racist Trump Cult Party is bloodily birthing out of the remnants of the...

...rump Republican party.

It's a pleasure to see how the "Divide and Conquer" scheme is playing out.

We do need a sane opposition to govern well however, and I hope that something that played out in US history, the rise of the Lincolnian Republican party, which was very different than the modern racist Republican Party inasmuch as it saw African Americans as human beings rather than farm animals.

It is however, distressing that Joe Biden is required to be "another Lincoln." Because, like Lincoln, he is a man concerned with ethics he definitely has a shot at the role. Great Presidents are made by huge challenges.

4. There is a huge gaping hole

of possibility for the SANE republicans to gain momentum. In the meanwhile, Dems will take that opportunity with their infighting to pass meaningful legislation, appoint judges with ALL of the needed human chromosomes.

The future could be quite rosy for us.
