Inasmuch as Trump is not the "ideas" (as in, ability to articulate the essential ideas of liberty and rejection of "progressive" counterfeit ideas) then Gingrich's study and understanding of the Founders ideas, combined with his knowledge of the way Washington has been working, and the courage to confront partisans seem to qualify him for this moment--if any mere human can help now.

Trump certainly has clarified for ordinary people an understanding of the consequences of America's departure from the founding ideas!

If, in the words of the Founders, Divine Providence continues to oversee "the affairs of men," and if, in his plan, America is to have a role, then perhaps that explains this phenomenon. (Sheer speculation)

I teeter between your speculation and Apocalypse Now!, myself. I love the idea of wicked rulers getting smacked down in the here and now! It’s fitting and right and does a people good.
