President Donald Trump is commanding respect and loyalty from Washington Republicans, as the political organizations tasked with defending the president during this re-election year are finally showing a little spirit. Trump has been impeached for allegedly pressuring the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s corruption in the gas-rich country, but Sen. Rand Paul made clear this week that no Republicans plan to vote against Trump in his Senate trial. That trial could feature witnesses like Biden’s scandal-plagued son Hunter, and could expose new details of Democrats’ Ukraine wrongdoing.

“We’ll hold town halls, we’ll hold rallies, we’ll hold press conferences, we’ll infiltrate Democrat events with supporters of the president to create general disruption,” Rick Gorka of the Republican National Committee stated Friday, signaling that the GOP, slow to embrace the age of modern politics, now chooses a new path: Existence.
On Saturday, the GOP is staging an activist training session dubbed a “National Day of Action” in targeted areas including the swing states of Florida, Virginia, and Arizona, Reuters reports. The Trump campaign is also buying a $10 million Super Bowl commercial.
Viewed the world over as a hapless, weak-willed, and cowardly engine of the status quo, the Republican Party has found new life under President Donald Trump, whose combative personality and dogged commitment to the interests of the American people give inspiration to a party that not long ago seemed destined for destruction.
The Trump campaign seems to finally be tapping back into the spirit of the 2016 Trump revolution — and this time, Trump has results and the majesty of the office behind him.
Here is an ad from 2016 that highlights the energy of Trump’s uprising:
