What's strange is that I think the MSM actually believes there are a lot of Never-Trumpers still.

"...Trump won the Texas primary with 94.1% of the vote. In 2004, the last time an incumbent Republican president ran for reelection, George W. Bush, a former Texas governor, won the Texas primary with 92.5% of the vote. This year, Trump won with 1,889,006 votes out of 2,007,314 Republican votes cast. Democrat Joe Biden won Texas with 716,030 votes out of 2,075,862 Democratic votes cast.

Winning a higher percentage of the Texas primary vote than a former Texas governor indicates Trump's power in the party. And having such a large number of Republican votes in an essentially meaningless GOP primary, compared to Democratic votes in a hotly contested and enormously consequential primary, also suggests Republican muscle.

The story was similar in other states. In Alabama, Trump won the Republican primary with 96.2% of the vote. In 2004, Bush won the Alabama primary with 92.8% of the vote. This year, Trump won with 695,469 votes out of 722,809 Republican votes cast. Biden won with 286,065 votes out of 452,278 Democratic votes cast...."

Would that his own party had been more immediately united at first after he won, more could have been done already. Still, hoping we can get back the House and increase the margin in the Senate so he can get some more stuff done after 2021. 1) Wall 2) Supreme Appointments (plural) 3) HC repeal & replace with market-based system; would also be nice if he could work on that deficit, but both parties seem to have left that ship nowadays.
