“...I am not sure who will replace Trump... the GOP will probably push the same old establishment guys from the UNIPARTY.... And will pretend Trump never happened ....”
The problem is, there is really no one else!
All the choices are from the professional politician class. There are no successful businessmen on the horizon, Pompeo maybe sort of fits. Trump Jr. has made some great speeches, however I am very uncomfortable with his succeeding his father. Pence is OK but its like we didn’t learn anything! I want to see us trend away from the professional politician ranks. I don’t care how well they have served the cause.
Well the problem, is that the political class needs the Koch Brothers et als money... so you know they will support the same stupid things that Trump has run and fought against, because those donors want those things... that’s the crux. I think a lot of rank and file GOP folks understand where Trump is is where the base is now... but they need that money from the big dollar olagarchs.
