re: #178 Targetpractice

The party’s decision to embrace Trump to win an election has basically set the stage for the party’s eventual collapse. He will never pick a successor, never choose someone to replace him in the hearts of his supporters, whether out of a death bed delusion that he will survive or out of malice and spite towards a party he feels has not shown him sufficient loyalty. And the moment he expires, the resulting scramble to put somebody else in his place will ignite a firestorm that will incinerate what little solidarity the party has remaining.

those who think ‘if he just died’… are being terribly naive
his personal relevance is already fading. there are lots of indications of it.

it’s ‘Trumpism’ that will live on
maybe someone grabs that mantle
maybe it all implodes in the fight
