I was encouraged by how many moderate pubs were committed to abiding by the results of the election. (Which is pretty sad.) I am not encouraged by how many moderate pubs in the aftermath of the Capitol riot are playing politics as usual in order to cater to the rapidly growing contingent of their party who caused the riot. Bad omen.

I think it would be difficult to replicate his draw without the insanity.

Yeah that seems like more of a CYA qualifier than anything. Insane people follow Trump because he makes them feel right instead of crazy.

In addition to insanity being part of Trump's appeal, MAGAs also view him as the ultimate DC outsider. Tall order for pubs to replicate.

Names change, and so do backgrounds, but they thing we can always count on Republicans supporting is bigotry and anything that increases their wealth (or ensures that it is not reduced).  Or put another way, fear explains every ounce of Republicans.  Always has, always will.

It's really the only way to invoke change.  Take their money away.  It seems many in this little event seem to think this was a joke and not serious.

It's almost like these companies think insurrection and lack of trust in our elections is bad for business.

Meh. Most people believe our system of government is politicians report to the people, but it’s probably closer to politicians report to corporations. The good news is that by all indications corporations seem to be better at responding to widespread public sentiment, so maybe it’s really not as big of a problem.

Imagine if you will: a jet lands in Kansas to deposit city-slicker divorcee from Arizona newly attending the capitol riot.  As the protagonist attempts to walk the remaining distance to home with her rolling suitcase in tow, her stiletto heel snaps off.  Defeated and alone, stranded on a stark Kansas highway, a local veterinarian/baker/Christmas tree rancher slows his half-ton pickup truck to offer a ride...

What is really sad for Kansas is the other two Republican candidates would have done the same thing Marshall did.  I applaud Moran for not following.

Extremely lucid point.

They were not storming the Capitol because they wanted to see a Republican in the White House. They were storming the Capitol because they wanted to see Trump in the White House.

Quote
Polling conducted for HuffPost by YouGov last week captured the difference between Trump and the party explicitly. Asked whether they considered themselves more supporters of Trump or supporters of the Republican Party, 37 percent of Republicans said they were mostly Trump, not party, supporters. Among those who voted for Trump, that percentage was 44 percent. About 30 percent of Republicans and 22 percent of Trump voters said they were supporters of both; only 24 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of Trump voters said they were mostly supporters of the Republican Party.
