Attacks on Manhattan investigation show GOP still can't break from TDFG

The GOP has a HUGE addiction problem. Should I care?
As my late father used to say..."You made your bed, now lie in it."

Amid all the other uncertainties surrounding the possible indictment of Donald Trump, the flurry of events has made one thing unequivocally clear: the former president remains the center of the GOP universe.

The rush of GOP leaders to preemptively condemn Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s potential indictment of Trump as inherently illegitimate and politically motivated underscores the party leadership’s ongoing reluctance to separate itself from, much less criticize, Trump in almost any way. Republican leaders in the House have quickly moved in the opposite direction, demanding documents from Bragg and promising to investigate the investigators.

“You would think they would have learned their lesson” from Trump’s defeat in 2020 and the GOP’s surprisingly weak showing in 2022, said Jennifer Horn, a former state Republican party chair in New Hampshire, who has emerged as a staunch Trump critic. “It’s like they are addicted to him. The GOP can’t break their addiction to Trump.”

It proves that they're still afraid of that 20% of cultish voters sitting out 2024.
They're addicted to taking that base for granted, not addicted to TFG.

LOL Like Democrats keep thrusting his dumb butt into the spotlight and stroking his ego.

Just another too-obvious example of how EVERYTHING Republicans claim about Democrats is merely a reflection (or projection) of themselves. Republicans simply cannot quit Trump.
