I won't go so far as to say they'll pick right up and move seamlessly along, but I'm not convinced the whole thing will fall apart post-Trump. The party definitely is not going to be able to maneuver back to a center-right identity after Trump, and definitely won't be able to silence the wackos, because they can't win anything without them. But although I don't know who it will be (though I do have some strong opinions about who it won't be), the MAGA base is likely going to coalesce around some other pied piper after Trump finally exits the scene, and whoever consolidates that MAGA support will drag the remaining center-right part of the party back down into the swamp with them. It may take an election cycle to work itself out, but I don't think there will be any permanent schism between MAGA and the Rubios/Grahams/Cruzes/etc of the Republican Party. It's not impossible that a center-right candidate could emerge to consolidate the moderate wing of the party faster than any one person is able to consolidate the MAGA wing of the party - hence the fact that it could take an election cycle to work out - but ultimately whoever controls the MAGA crazies is going to control the right-most major party in the US.

If you put a gun to my head and asked who the person most likely to end up the MAGA leader after Trump, I would guess Tucker Carlson, but that's not a remotely confident guess. Given his new role on the right, and the platform he has, Elon Musk may well be able to dictate who it is. I do not think it will be any member of the Trump family; I feel pretty confident that people are gonna toss them to the curb the second Daddy is out of the picture. Honestly Barron may have the best chance of any other Trump to end up as a MAGA prince.

I might have said Tucker as well until this weird story about him broke yesterday. Claiming that evil demons are physically attacking you in bed to the point that you have claw marks and are bleeding, yet your wife and dogs were not disturbed is definitely getting into the prime weirdo territory that undid DeSantis and now Vance.
 
I thought about stealing Trump signs after the Harris signs I distributed in my red county disappeared the first night. Didn't do it.

My own wild personal theory is that the demon-possession thing was some bizarre rationalization Tucker had to create to cover up being caught in some sort of comprised position by his wife. Like, he had a wild night with some women and snuck back into the house, his wife saw him the next morning and was like OMG CLAW MARKS ON YOUR BACK, he was OMG A DEMON MUST HAVE DONE IT IN MY SLEEP and now he has to talk about it publicly because his wife is constantly like OMG TELL THEM ABOUT THE THING THE DEMON DID.

That or he's just nuts.

I think he's just trying to get attention.

He'll probably be dead by then, or even better, imprisoned, but on the off chance that neither of those happen, I hope and pray they run him in 2028.

Like I get what you're saying, but also Trump is so fucking exhausting. Just think about how spent we all are after this election cycle (which isn't actually over yet. If this was the UK we'd have 10% of the campaign still to go).

Hewitt and his distinguished colleague John Eastman continue to make Chapman Law School proud.

He is absolutely exhausting, but he is single-handedly annihilating the Republican Party and the “conservative” movement in our country. Let him cook!
 
For those concerned about the context of Trump’s quote about Cheney, there is an even wider context to consider.
