There have been a series of stories recently about Republicans leaving office who announce they’re “leaving the party.” They deserve no credit for this. It’s an act of political virtue signaling and utterly meaningless. At the end of the day, most Republicans and conservatives have thoroughly supported Donald Trump and Trumpism. Arguably, he united the party more than George W. Bush did.
Republicans should not be allowed to magically distance themselves from the Trump they built up until this point.
