OPINION — I always wondered what President Trump would have to do to make him lose Republican support. Now I know: Lose an election decisively.

Up until they lost the midterms, his policies and behavior appeared to be acceptable to most Republicans.

They seemed just fine with the war in Iran, destroying the East Wing, tariffs, talk of taking over Canada and Greenland, calling people in the military losers, mocking a disabled reporter, pulling out of NATO and the treaty with Iran, pulling support for Ukraine and taking Russia's side, gutting healthcare and food stamps, alienating our allies, firing 52 top generals, giving tax breaks to the wealthy, running up the national debt to $40 trillion, accepting a plane from the Qatari royal family, lying, fraud, gaslighting and claiming falsely an election was stolen, to name a few.

Apparently, all it took for them to jump ship was for them to lose the 2026 election decisively.

Shame on them! Republican candidates got shellacked and they deserved it. In my opinion, they need to be reminded of it in every interview and discussion.

They profess to be Christians but I don’t believe they understand Christianity. They live under the Old Testament law and not the New Testament gospel.

They appear to lack morals, integrity and character and should never be in a political position of power.
