Big names in the Republican party are denouncing Trump, calling him a three-time loser. They're saying it's time to move away from the Trump movement and nominate Republican candidates who can "get things done."
As far as I'm concerned, that would certainly be a welcome change, but everyone should consider who led voters down the primrose path to begin with. Pompeo, Christy, and others are now speaking out against Trump...or at least against Trump's philosophy, but it wasn't long ago when they fully supported him. Trump's reign wasn't strictly because of Trump. It was with full support of Republicans in congress, whether they outwardly supported him or failed to speak out against him. Six or seven years ago, they made a decision that should deem them all as unelectable. Everyone on the Left told them so in no uncertain terms, highlighting Trump's history of fraud, theft, and indiscretions, but they wouldn't listen to reason...because they're all at least somewhat like him.
They put party over country and now, after a multitude of failures in the midterms, they're deciding to change course.
Ultimately, it's not the choice of Republicans in congress. They're merely doing what their sponsors tell them to do - as was the case when they supported Trump in the beginning.
I believe it's too late. I believe they've greatly reduced the level of their influence and people are beginning to wise up to their tactics and who's really in control, but only time will tell.
