Column: Focus of GOP leaders drifts into dysfunctional territory

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Embracing Donald Trump in 2016 cost Republicans statewide and countywide in 2018.
49% : The House GOP seeks an unprecedented action of impeaching a member of a president's Cabinet, alleging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is not upholding immigration laws.
40% : Especially if Trump leads the ticket come November.
34% : His dwindling number of opponents, meanwhile, seem to loathe each other instead of Trump.
33% : Meanwhile the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives continues to ignore the issues Americans want addressed and worry about: Reproductive rights, the porous Southern Border, the economy, assault weapons, national security, keeping Social Security and Medicare financially sound, raising the nation's retirement age, climate change, the war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war and China's growing global hegemony.
24% : Trump is facing state and federal lawsuits over his actions trying to overturn the 2020 election --"The Steal" as he maintains.
17% : Trump certainly is compiling an enemies list made up of those who he believes have slighted him, including members of the media.
2% : Both Haley and DeSantis seem to enjoy throwing barbs at each other instead of pointing to the many faults of Donald Trump, who has more than California's earthquake-prone landscape.
