"After two terms, Reagan’s vice president, George H.W. Bush, became the Republican nominee."

And did all he could to dismantle Reagan's accomplishments.

Ah, the good old days. Dole, McCain, and Romney. Some one remind me, what did all three have in common?

"Some loyal Republican voters have always been uneasy about the style of former President Donald Trump. They felt more comfortable in the GOP world of Bush, McCain, Romney, and Ryan."

Uneasy about Trump's "style". Yeah, despite the possibly irreversible damage to the country otherwise. But hey, it's better to be "comfortable"...and Marxist with those losers, right? Which now includes Haley. Idiots.

“But for some Republicans, Haley promised a return to the orderliness of the older Republican Party.”

That means the fascists wouldn’t be opposed to her. No thanks.

Taking a country back from the brink of destruction doesn’t come without a fight.

NeverTrump RINOs will join forces with Democrats to start impeachment proceedings against Trump the day after he is inaugurated and if they can gain control of Congress through some unholy Uniparty alliance, this time they WILL remove him from office.

Just watch Democrats pivot from stopping Trump to gaining control of Congress.

“a loss in which she gathered a substantial amount of votes” = garnering less than 10% of the delegates won by Trump?

If Byron thinks Haley is going to be the nominee in 2028, he is crazy. Is Byron going for the George Will award for conservative journalism?

Trump’s Reelection Effort Is Becoming the Hero’s Journey And the public is beginning to see it.

Key paragraph

But there are still those Republicans who are nostalgic for a more orderly GOP. And many of them looked to Haley as their final hope, at least for now, of making that happen. Haley spoke passionately about the “chaos” that surrounds Trump — and indeed, he is a man facing 91 felony counts and all the trouble that entails. She promised a return to a calmer and more disciplined Republican Party. Her problem was that there were not nearly enough Republicans who want that, too.

Some love Trump, others don’t love him but like his results, and others think that for all his flaws he is what the GOP needs to fight a Democratic Party dominated by progressive activists. Some would even like to move on from Trump but don’t believe there is another Republican on the scene with the strength and talent to lead the party in a new direction.

In any event, Haley has lost, and those supporters who want to change today’s Republican Party will have to wait for new circumstances to bring new leaders.

I don't particularly like some of Trump's personality traits. But the results he delivers more than overcome any such dislike.

York speaks for a lot of FR Party Pukes. They want order and if that means losing in perpetuity and never fighting for anything so be it.

Nikki may think she is the favorite for 2028 because she was the last anti-Trump candidate in the race. But in that case John Kasich should have preference (from 2016)--and his father was a mailman.

Even if Nikki comes out and supports Trump (which may or may not happen), a lot of Trump supporters will never want her on a national ticket. There are lots of better choices for 2028...assuming we can all survive until then.

All these pseudo-conservatives fail to observe the only drama swirling around President Trump has been create either by them or the Left. The Leftist Press screams about divisiveness all the while they are the ones creating that very divisiveness.

It is a shame so many people are gullible enough to not see that truth.
