It would seem to outsiders that they’d want to disqualify trump sooner, since he’s likely (already) tearing the Republican Party apart. Seems like if the were smart (… crickets) they’d rip off the bandaid to save their party from the minority of trumpets (popular minority not necessarily Republican minority).

Electing populist morons had probably ducked them too much. As long as the rest of us actually show up and vote.
