Kissing up to Donald Trump is nearly a necessity for getting along in Republican politics. We shall see if such is good in the general election.

According to an NY Times commentary I just read today, the Wyoming GOP is split between the elites (Cheney, et al) and the Blue Collars who hate them.  This neo-GOP of almost all blue collar voters iis slowly but surely pushing the elites aside and taking over most state and local political positions.  What do they want?  Validation!  In the end, they have stopped doing any of the things that government needs to do, and spend their time on identity politics of all kinds ... and punishing the elites for being, you know, elite.

This may be the first entity with a large enough concentration of hyper-partisans to actually deep six an entire state.  We'll have to see.
