I think the biggest non-secret in Washington is that Biden now absolutely despises Harris and Pelosi.
It has been humorous watching Biden undermine Harris. Newt seems to be of the same mindset.

Nobody set race relations back more in the US than Obama.Obama to black men: If y-all don’t get excited like y-all did for me and vote for a word salad born in a middle-class neighborhood with nice lawns who only recently identified as black, y-all ain’t black. Now who’s the racist? I find that those who all too frequently speak out against racism are the true racists. Prove me wrong!!
Remember, Obama, Holder, Hildabeast, and their slimy colleagues are from Chicago.Nobody set race relations back more in the US than Obama.
Obama could have gathered the facts first. But he firmly believes that facts don't matter. Only politics matter.
But that would have required Obama to take the high road instead of just going along with the mob and in fact throwing gasoline on the fire.
For the moment yes, but I question the durability of the Trump "movement" whatever that actually is, absent Trump. With respect to your list -
Trump - obviously, but very limited continuing relevance - an age and term limitation thing.
Vance - potentially, but we will not know until 2028. I do think he has the opportunity to bridge the personality cult that is totally married to Trump with traditional conservatives, and does seem to have the intelligence not to immediately alienate those that don't meet some sort of purity test.
RFK Jr and Gabbard are of almost no consequence to the republican party nor will they be in the future. I think they are frankly of little consequence in this election, but it is clearly better to have them on the republican side.
Musk is relevant from an alternative information perspective. We'll see if anything comes of his potential role in a new administration.
I think the real change will occur when Trump leaves the stage. That, to my mind, has the potential to affect the democrat party at least as much as the republican. I am certain a significant portion of the democrat party is as uncomfortable with wokism, radical gender policies, neo racism, and Marxism as the staunchest conservative. However, they are united in their fear of a second Donald Trump presidency. I hasten to add that I am passing no judgement on those fears, but I suspect the radical democrats will have enormous difficulty maintaining a unified party without Trump.
That group of moderates represent the real opportunity to expand the republican tent beyond this election. There are a number of potential candidates that could lead that effort.
For those that are curious as to the true situation regarding FEMA response; I think this video is the best source of information I've seen from people who are on the ground who actually know what they are doing in the Helene zone.....
@3:20 - Prepositioning in Florida for storm and arrival on scene with no government command, control or assets.
@10:30 - FEMA & MSM taking credit for saving lives/running missions that were preformed by private citizens using private aircraft
@31:50 - C17 loaded with supplies for Harris photo op, then plane/supplies were never sent.
@32:30 - Joe Biden fly over that shut down airspace & then joe couldn't remember what storm!
@35:00 - Biden interview where he couldn't remember which storm...
@36:00 - Sling load kits removed from helicopters so officials could be flown around for tours of damage, but helicopters useless for supply drops.
@40:00 - Supplies cut off from rural areas with no road access and having to lower supplies to areas with no landing zone because of lack of sling load kits
@1:01:02 - CNN is not allowed to show true storm damage
@1:06:00 - Unqualified FOR PROFIT contractors that submitted bids for relief work interfering/obstructing in recovery/rescue efforts by state guard unit and non profit.
@1:10:00 - Guardsmen that is FAA/Air Combat controller offering assistant and access to private helicopter denied because of incompetence and TFR(total flight restriction) set up to block both private and national guard helicopters from entering the area of La Fleur NC.
One could also write this as follows:I have been critical of the Republican party. That's not to mean the Democrats aren't in worse shape. If they loose the election they will have to completely rethink and remake their platform. The division within the Democrat party is only splintering them further. A loss in 2024 completely washes away the old guard. The battle will be between the woke/socialist wing of the party and the mainstream part of the party trying to get back to a more centrist position. If the left wing of the party wins the Democrats are in serious trouble.
