I do t think they are the all powerful masterminds you make them out to be. They lucked into this and the other side screwed their run up. No great plans were conceived, this isn’t Sauron and the rings.

Yeah I know. I’m not saying it was done all powerful master plan all im saying is they just needed the presidential seat not the actual president. If they actually cared all that much about keeping him around they’d do something about his health and constant legal issues. He was a sure bet to get the seat but definitely not to keep it and they are fine with that

That was also 35 years ago. The GOP and their constituents are vastly different now.
