If Trump can lay the foundations for a desperately needed new conservative party (that actually stands for something and truly represents its voters) it won’t matter who leads an irrelevant post-Trump Republican Party.
Look at the 20 point beating 20 year GOP Senator Sessions took lats night. The GOP brand is in the toilet with the MAGA voting GOP base. Barr, McConnell and Graham and no doubt in panic mode this morning. They must deliver or they will pay the price like Sessions did.
