exemplified on this topic from George Will, 2023 july :
"...Vladimir Putin's fifth column is not in Kyiv but in the Trump-DeSantis faction of the Republican Party.
Putin has two hopes for a less than completely mortifying rescue from his Ukraine blunder. One is the election of Trump, whose frivolousness about national security complements his weakling's admiration for a bully. Putin's other hope is the election of DeSantis, who says (or said, before retreating when criticized) Russia's attempt to erase a European nation is a 'territorial dispute.' And whose pandering to Trumpkins prevents him from denouncing House Republicans who are as eager to abandon Ukraine as they would have been to abandon Czechoslovakia in 1938..."

now this is coming from an influential supporter of the multi-Bush middle-east wars for control of oil; which were not needed and the U.S. has been happily exporting since fracking. every president has been paying direct and knock-on price of these wars since. so maybe Will is still a friend of the defense-industrial complex.

one unsurprising GOP consistency ; Will's wife works for tim scott.

Establishment Republicans and NeoCons are miffed that the 'base' that they took for granted and treated as nuisances - decided they don't like being marginalized and poor. And yeah - that also gave excuses to the evil elements to come out of hiding too.

Republicans (like the Google Jockey here) long for days where they can join their Liberal and NeoCon brethren and again whittle away at people in the name of Wall Street and Globalism.

As I've long written the day is coming when they'll be back in charge.

I might happen this cycle, it might not. But look for them to peddle Nikki Haley, Youngkin, or Kemp.
