Well what with the whole Republican party gearing up to pay all his court stuff might as well take them all down eventually.
100% wishful thinking I know.
That would require literally everyone involved to be impossibility stupid. The only way that could possibly work is if every single GOP politician had the intelligence of a spoilt grape fruit. What I'm saying is that I expect the GOP to be liquidated by this time next year.
Sadly while there are certainly plenty of absolute dumbasses in the GOP, and every one of them is a shitstain that barely qualifies as a human being, there are quite a few of them that are incredibly conniving. If they spent half as much effort trying to actually improve the world as they spent trying to rat fuck everyone for their own profit most problems would have been solved by now. While this will certainly hurt them badly I expect enough of the cockroaches will skitter away that this won't actually destroy the GOP..
They don't care what happens to the party as long as they personally profit. If they gave a fuck about their own party they wouldn't have allowed the Tea Party dumbasses in, let alone Donald.
It would be hilarious if Trump bankrupted the GOP.
Probably won't get that far, but if nothing else it means they have less money to spend on all the smaller local candidate races, which are arguably mode impactful long-term.
