Democrats have wasted years convinced that Republicans secretly despise Trump and are about to defect en masse. It's not just wrong, it's shaped their entire political strategy. Hillary Clinton is still out there claiming Republicans were "secretly cheering" for Mark Carney to stand up to Trump on trade. This isn't analysis. It's delusion dressed up as political theory. Republicans aren't breaking with Trump. They're lining up behind him. And Democrats are still waiting for a rescue that was never coming.
