If there is one takeaway from Trump’s CPAC speech, it’s that he owns the GOP.
There is no one else who can do what he does to incite their base, and they know it.
He attacked “RINOs” by name - and he pledged to primary them.
With each new candidate the GOP radicalizes further.

He also strongly reaffirmed the party’s commitment to harsh counter-majoritarian tactics, attacking Dems’ voting integrity bill, HR1, and openly & explicitly embraced voter suppression tactics:
Limit Election Day to “1 day”
Voter ID
Custody chains for ballots
Citizenship tests

Aside from those points, his speech was largely a litany of historical revisionism, claiming credit for the economy and Covid vaccines, claiming “the greatest” accomplishments, and continuing to try to tie Dems to the hyped specter of “communism.”
He also repeated the Big Lie about the election, of course, which is the ostensible justification for all of the nasty voter suppression tactics that the GOP’s army of lawyers is rolling out in states across the country.
IMHO, as long as Dems in Congress actually unite behind Biden and enacts his agenda, the country & economy will improve, and Trump/GOP numbers will shrink.
Manchin & Sinema are our hurdles there.
And we have to stop their vote suppression strategies in the state legislatures.
