    It’s funny how it’s always Trump says this, Trump say that. However when he is gone someday, what will the party have left? And what to say then? Everyone will have been conditioned to Trump being the mouthpiece, not the next Rando, or GOP. They are short-sighted as usual.

      My guess is Barron. If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

      Our best hope is the GOP imploding due to the massive power vacuum Trump’s death will create. There is a lot of discontent among Republicans right now, they’re all just too afraid (or still too loyal) to Trump to oppose him directly. But Vance? He has the charisma and popularity of a wet paper towel. There will be no hesitation throwing him under the bus.
