    the approach of letting Trump burn out on his own, so that you can step into the void later without having antagonized him first, may be the longest-running, least-successful strategy in the history of American intra-party politicshttps://twitter.com/jbarro/status/1325856747559542785 …

    Everyone talks about Trump as this imposing figure whose graces Republicans will have to keep if they want to rise in the party, but isn't their main incentive right now to shiv him as hard as possible so he gets out of their way? https://twitter.com/jonathanvswan/status/1325856347896819712 …

        Elected Republicans who have not yet spoken out to congratulate Joe Biden are afraid of their base. However, if Trump starts making more risky NatSec moves like the Esper firing, there may be a Goldwater group of 20 or so senators going to the WH to explain the inevitable.

        They may not see him as a loser yet. Temptation may be to punish the country. That's the critical issue for Republicans for the next few months.

        Key factor is how much attention and air time is given to him and his tweets by Fox News programs and whether or not 2024 potential candidates are given equal or more time.
