Is it all over between the GOP and Donald Trump? Matt Purple makes the case in Spectator World that this is the end of their use for each other. He concludes:

Here’s a dirty little secret of politics: it’s not just Trump who’s a cold transactionalist. The Republican Party (and the Democratic Party for that matter) is a sprawling, ruthless, bottom line-obsessed business syndicate, determined at all costs to turn donor investments into election wins. They sidled up to Trump only when it became clear he could drive out voters, and now that his moment has passed, they’re looking to move on. Such were the terms of the deal. So why shouldn’t everyone else do the same? Why stick with the wheezing orange jalopy when you could cash it in for the sleek new model up the Florida highway?

In a republic, the people don’t owe their leaders anything. And as Trump now calls for Kari Lake to be “installed” as governor of Arizona, as his Truth Social account continues to fume, it’s difficult to see what benefit there is to any of this anymore. Conservatives have too much to worry about — our cities vitiated by drugs and crime, our schools brought low by woke ideology and diminished standards — to spend any more time on the distractions of one man. Let alone a racist Friendsgiving.
