I've been thinking and wondering a lot of the same things. I do seriously wonder what will happen to the GOP after Trump's demise (whether that's his death or just he stops being able to command a following) will they just start running more normal politicians that kind of echo trump but aren't completely disconnected from reality and will that be successful? Will they try to pivot to more sane people who run on a more 1980s style platform? If the GOP fails is it because of Trump or is it because they've been on the wrong side of history for too long and their base is simply dying out?
