It would be best to assume that the GOP after Trump will be like TPUSA after Kirk and collapse into a melee of hostile factions, and for the same reason--the attempt to hold incompatible interests in a single group based on a single charismatic leader. Prepare accordingly.
@Imperius__13 He is also still in office but won't be in 3 years and will be consulted but not the final decision maker.
@Imperius__13 I don't see that because I don't think it is true. And I don't think it's true because if it were true he would cut ties with Carlson rather than lashing out when people point out his deep ties to him.
@Imperius__13 And yet all his supporters mobilize in support of whatever Carlson's latest stunt is, hysterically attack anyone pointing out the connection, and Vance himself signals his allegiance whenever he gets the chance. Otherwise, yes, he can advance other talking points.
@Imperius__13 He works for Carlson within the administration. These people are not so sophisticated and the operation is transparent. If there's no resistance, people should make plans.
@Imperius__13 You regularly push exactly the same attack lines and criticize Carlson on one side while supporting his inclusion on another.
@Imperius__13 Well, Trump couldn't be dependent upon Carlson, but he does seem oddly solicitous of him. Yes, I'm thinking through everything now. There are many things involved.
