He just needs more time, thats all. Needs more experience dealing with politicians and foreign policy. It’s not that I don’t think he has the capabilities, just needs time to learn.
What Trump/MAGA does after the midterms is going to super interesting. There will be this whole dumb narrative about whether or not Trump will try to run for President again, but once that dies out, Trump will have to figure out who he is endorsing. I don’t think he’ll go full MAGA and endorse anyone that truly doesn’t have a chance of winning. Will MAGA revolt and demand one of their own get the nod? Eh … I think MAGA and the GOP will still do whatever Trump says, and support whoever he tells them to. Which is politics. MAGA will eventually fall to the side as the GOP and Trump faithful support whoever they think will win.
For the first time in nearly a decade, the right is confronting a future without a clear standard-bearer. And every would-be successor faces the same paradox: To win Trump’s base, you have to sound like Trump. But the more you sound like Trump, the more you remind people you’re not him.
But no one can put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Because the thing they’re all trying to inherit — Trumpism— isn’t an ideology. It’s a person.
This is the tragedy and farce of the post-Trump GOP: It bet everything on a single man, and now it has no idea how to function without him.
Trump hollowed out the party, scorched the institutions and rewired the voter base. And he will likely leave behind a political husk that still bears his name but contains little of his animating style.
Trump will try to keep power as long as possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if doesn’t try to get the constitution changed, but that might result in an Obama/Trump contest.
I don’t think his ego would stand for it, but running as Vance’s running mate and then Vance resigning is another thing that wouldn’t surprise me.
If the Republicans take the House in '28 he might run for Speaker.
He will for sure keep yelling on the internet to rile people up.
His cult has shown they will accept anything, including the attempted overthrow of a US presidential election.
If MAGA dies, it won’t be until he does.
What I hope will happen? MAGA will wake up and realize who and what they are really supporting and get back to sane conservatism.
