Continetti gets it. I don't know why it took him so long to actually say it.
...This president is not the leader of the GOP. He shows no interest in the
job, is not good at it, and has no feel for the party structure, what
makes it tick. But he is the leader of a party: the party of Trump. In
truth, that is the only party to which he has ever belonged. And the
party of Trump is larger than you think. Most Republican regulars
support the president's response to Charlottesville. Pollster Kristin S.
Anderson puts the floor of Trump approval at a quarter of the
electorate....
And even if Continetti can't admit it, that "party of Trump" has one helluvalot of "Democrat" members, too. Ask the crazy old woman who lost Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Further, even if Continetti cannot admit it, the "Republican" party is largely a fund-raising scheme for interests which are not necessarily consonant with the interests of most people living in this country.
Which is why there IS such a thing as the "Party of Trump." And--by the way--he is demonstrating that a "Republican" party is not a "need." Rather, it is a "want." Big difference, Matthew.

An example of the special "interest" is the makers of Narcan.
