Everyone still thinks the GOP will control the House come next year and the Florida results show that Republicans have turned that crucial state <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/08\/3-takeaways-from-ron-desantis-blowout-win-for-every-gop-governor-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruby red<\/a>. On the other hand, a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/11\/is-john-fetterman-transitioning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">breathing cadaver<\/a> defeated the Republican in Pennsylvania\u2019s Senate race and the victory margins have been otherwise slim. But that the elections should be some form of reckoning for Republicans to either throw Trump overboard or cuff themselves to his ankles and swallow the key is a very, very stupid way of thinking about the future.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a false dilemma designed to frustrate Republicans into believing that the party has no good options to move forward \u2014 either declare now that Trump is dead weight or pledge undying loyalty to the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Those are not the only two options and Republicans taking cues from the left would be like a gazelle taking directions from a lion.<\/p>\n<p>Recent history is clear. Trump single-handedly revived and revolutionized an entire political party, turning an old country club into a shining Costco, a place where bikers, boaters, and business owners alike can all find the things they need at a good price. What he\u2019s done and where he\u2019s gone since, and in the future, won\u2019t change it. For that, Republicans should be eternally grateful.<\/p>\n<p>Why should there be any need for a messy and public divorce? Just the same, every election doesn\u2019t need to be a competition for which GOP candidate can hug Trump the closest. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis rarely says a word about him, though when he does, it\u2019s always with gratitude. And it works!<\/p>\n<p>Choosing between a party with or without Trump is impossible. Entertaining the question is a trap.
