Anthony Scaramucci just posted that Republicans need to get rid of Trump before he destroys the party even further. I'm seeing this all over and it's pretty funny actually. Reminder, many establishment Republicans and political pundits said those exact same things in 2016, when they guaranteed that Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton. They said those same things in 2023 when they were guaranteeing that Trump would lose in 2024. They personally hate Trump because he made them completely irrelevant. Many literally had to become Democrats just to get some airtime on a podcast. Thousands of these little narcissistic phonies who have never done anything for the Republican Party and who have been relegated to an hour a week on MSDNC, so want to feel important again. Below are the facts. Does it look like Trump "destroyed" the Republican Party? There have been three outlier elections (2018, 2020, 2026), during which Democrats have managed to produce between 15-25 million extra votes as compared to recent elections. Republicans have no interest in figuring out how this happens. They are just selfishly jockeying for relevancy. Trump grew Republican support massively and consistently over the past ten years. People are going to be in for a rude awakening when he is gone. If the thinking is "Democrats won't vote as much if Trump is gone," good luck with that one. That's a real winning strategy. 2008: McCain - 60 million votes 2012: Romney - 61 million votes 2016: Trump - 63 million votes 2020: Trump - 74 million votes 2024: Trump - 77 million votes Obama's re-election: Down 3.5 million votes from 2008. Obama's first midterm in 2010: Democrat vote down 4 million compared to 2006. Obama's second midterm in 2014: Democrat vote down 3 million compared to 2010. Democrat vote down a total of 7 million compared to before Obama. Trump's first re-election: Up 11 million votes from 2016. Trump's second re-election: Up 13 million votes from 2016. Trump's first midterm in 2018: Republican vote up 10.5 million compared to 2014. 2022 midterm: Republican vote up 3.8 million from 2018. Trump's second midterm: To be determined. Will be up from 2022. Consistently gaining support during every election is what they now are calling "destroying" the party.
