Anti-Trump Republicans Raising More Campaign Cash Than Their Lackey Opponents

None of the Republicans seeking re-election who voted to impeach or convict former President Donald Trump was out-raised by a primary challenger last quarter.

Does this counter the notion of a huge victory for the GOP in November’s midterms? Is it a harbinger of a return to some level of sanity in U.S. politics?

Trump’s dominance in the party is either going to maintain its strength, or it’s going to collapse altogether.  As soon as a few more congresspeople in red states start to defect, an avalanche will follow–one that will leave Trump powerless, alone, and perhaps even more vulnerable to criminal prosecution than he is now.

This will create a stage on which Trump’s erstwhile supporters in Congress will need to answer to voters: Why did you stand behind this criminal conman?

Ouch.  That’s a tough question.
