Kaikki nämä ajojahdit tuntuvat ainoastaan nostavan Trumpin suosiota ja hänellä on kasvavassa määrin vaikutusta siihen, kuka pääsee poliittiseen virkaan. Taas suvakeilla meni yli ymmärryksen.
Yksi ns. Republikaani eli Liz Cheney äänestettiin juuri ulos virastaan:
Liz Cheney vows to carry on fight against Trump after conceding defeat in Wyoming primary
(CNN)Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the most ardent Republican critic of Donald Trump in Congress, vowed to carry on her fight against the former President and the election-denying movement he leads in a speech Tuesday night after conceding defeat in her primary.
She'll lose to Trump-backed attorney Harriet Hageman, CNN projects.
"This primary election is over," Cheney said in her speech. "But now the real work begins."
The last of the 10 House Republicans who voted for Trump's second impeachment to face voters, Cheney now becomes the eighth who will not be returning to the House next year.
Cheney's loss, though widely anticipated, represents a significant marker in the wider fight over the direction of the Republican Party. Once considered an up-and-comer, she was booted from House GOP leadership last year over her unyielding opposition to the former President and trailed in polling back home this year as she helped lead the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
Though she made no announcement about her plans, Cheney did hint at a future in elective politics.
"The great and original champion of our party, Abraham Lincoln, was defeated in elections for the Senate and the House before he won the most important election of all," she said. "Lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union and he defined our obligation as Americans for all of history."

Kuten tuosta kävi ilmi, 8 republikaania, jotka asettuivat impeachmentin kannalle, ovat saaneet kenkää positioistaan. Muistikuvani mukaan kahdesta lopusta ainakin toisella oli jokin asema, josta häntä ei pysty savustamaan ulos...
Että näin huonosti menee Trumpin kannattamilla ja tukemilla ehdokkailla. Marraskuu saattaa olla erittäin suosiollinen republikaaneille - ja Trumpille.
