In my judgement the only person helping to take down the GOP is Barr himself. Following Sessions who folded almost on day 1, Barr sent out orders to his staff not to investigate reports of election fraud.

In addition, he has been front and center criticizing Trump based upon the deceitful argument that Trump divided the party.

The reality is the party establishment broke from the base, as they did with the tea party, and engaged in behind the scenes undermining of the bases choice from day 1.

Barr became an active participant in all of this , betraying not only his oath of office but the base of the GOP. But hey, he got a lucrative book deal:) Now, Trump has faults (who doesn't in DC) but many of his policies during his term were good ones.

To say that Trump has caused divisiveness in the party when the divisive is a result of the GOP establishment pushing the Russia, Russia Russia narrative knowing it was false, is disingenuous to say the least.

Biden didn't win because Democrats flocked to the polls in droves and "pulled a lever" for him. Biden won because of mail-in-ballots that were harvested by an already in place Democrat harvesting machine that was scaled up. All talk of who Republicans run in 2024 is moot unless we also learn to harvest every single ballot we can get our hands on.

As for Trump, he's a hero. He saved the party and the country for a time. He has willingly taken the slings and arrows for us.... but the machine eats you up and you need to know when to step aside to allow for some new blood. Trump made DeSantis, never forget that. Before Trump, no Republican would ever dare to do the things that DeSantis is doing now... Trump set the pace and that should be respected.
