This article reflects what many traditional Republicans have told me. I remember the evening when Trump announced, I walked into the next room full of traditional Republicans that were smiling about the news of a missile hitting Poland change to frowns when I announced Trump was running for President in 2024. This article does not quite convey the sickness found among traditional Republicans and their thirst for proxy wars. But it does accurately reflect that you may as well tell a traditional Republican one of their children died because it is as somber an experience as telling them Trump is running on their ticket again.
