Trump comes out of hidingThe question is how Trump’s critics in the party respond once the attacks pick up steam and intensity. As we can see both from the lopsided margins in the impeachment votes and the apoplectic reaction at the state level to those who turned on Trump, the critics are already in a weak position within the party. They will be in no position to try and rally opposition to the former president.This will leave two options. The first is contrition — and a reversion, out of political self-preservation, to reticence and passivity in the face of Trump’s continued and increasing hold over the party.The second option is further defiance — but launched from outside of the GOP altogether. -- source link
