He is the unofficial leader of the party, is he not?
It sure as hell isn't Ronna.

What are you referencing when you say "the Republican Party"? Are you another abject simpleton?

When did conservatives become so achingly soft?

Asks the guy that believes Trump is not the leader of the Republican party.

Because you are trying to find a way in which Trump carries no responsibility.

He's been the GOP candidate the past two presidential elections, winning one, and is on pace for a third.

In no world is Trump not considered the leader of the party.

Even those that despise him understand his current position.

No. That is the problem. They are all weak.

Who's No. 2? What's Trump doing to drive the DC Party apparatus at this time?

If you think my point is a complete defense/excuse FOR Trump, you are missing a lot as well.

This is where I disagree. I think there are a number of people in the apparatus who think it is otherwise and/or are actively working to ensure that it is.

As I said above, my point is not meant as some sort of defense/excuse FOR Trump. I recognize what a mess the whole situation is. He's a part of it, sure. It's far from something of solely his making. If you can't see THAT you are missing a lot.

I've never said the party is not a mess.

The thing is, it's a mess largely due to Trump.

Mostly because he is not a republican and yet is the most powerful person in the GOP currently.

I said, I don't think there is ONE you can point to. Trump holds sway with a large faction of the voters. There's obviously a lot of pushing and tugging going on in the DC apparatus, though, such that I couldn't definitively say he's the "leader" there.

You disagree?

Here's that symptom/cause stumbling block again.

Nah. Cult45 would be spooging all over the board claiming a huge victory for the Trump led GOP.

The same party that never backed him while he was POTUS? The same party that agreed with "impeachment" when he tried to bust up an MIC/Laundering scheme. That party?

I'm no Trump lover but the GOP is playing all of you perfectly.

You're seriously arguing that the guy who's been/will be the Republican nominee for three successive presidential elections, the guy that is polling 99.99% amongst Republicans - you're seriously arguing that that guy is not the leader of the Republican party?


Republicans helped Biden pass his bills and blocked Trump from his.

Republicans blocked 5 billion in wall funding and gave Biden a blank check for 3 years straight.

Maybe like 10% of elected republicans are actually MAGA. It’s just that benifit cuts and abortion bans are so unpopular that no national Republican can unseat him so they can only win no name races in deep red area where the campaign on being republican and agreeing with Trump on something’s.

What is the non MAGA republicans platform? I still haven’t gotten an answer they’ve held the house for a year now, what have they done? What have the governors done or what’s their platform? What have red state governors done about crime in the major blue cities. What have they done about the border? What have they done about the law fare used to take out republicans? What have done about the massive homeless encampments, drug addicts on the streets, or about the millions of illegals pouring into their states? Now why should people support them?

The fact there are factions within the GOP battling each other does not discount the reality of Trump being the leader of the party.

Instead, it shows him to be a poor leader.

So, in your eyes, he is not a Republican, but he is the leader of the Republican party?

In terms of leading the Republican party, Trump doesn't have a rival. Presidents that are polling like Trump is within the party rarely do.

Not nearly enough, but his failure to lead effectively doesn't magically make him not the leader of the Republican party.

And it's f'n weird this is even a point of contention. Trump OnlyFans bristle at the idea that Trump is the leader of the party he has dominated for nearly a decade. I wonder why.

I consider Trump the face of the R party. He’s destroying the competition in this primary. He’s going to be the R nominee.

So yes, I don’t believe you can completely absolve him of all responsibility.
