Bouvard on Vance, Groypers, and Trumpism's Future

Republicans who oppose Vance for the 2028 nomination will have to do more than try to shift support to a preferable candidate, like Rubio. They would have to make the campaign one focused on the infiltration and entrenchment of the groyper right within conservative institutions.

And to do this you'd need to tie together all the threads of "Trumpism," i.e., distinguish Trump's program, some of which has remained implicit, from outmoded former GOP programs (Reaganism, neoconservatism, Tea Party, etc.) but in a welcoming, not "cancelling" way.

@Imperius__13 But there is an underlying coherence which has yet to be laid out in detail--the Conservative Treehouse comes closest, but focuses only on the economics and deep state. If it's not laid out, anyone could claim his mantle without any real challenge.

@Imperius__13 And yet who has provided a better account of Trump's purposes? (Purposes which might, in fact, include better relations with Russia--I'm not sure.) If he's inadequate, all the more reason for something much better by a very loyal and knowledgeable team with access to Trump.

@Imperius__13 He’s right not to like Don Jr.

@Imperius__13 I don’t see a need to suggest anything—Don Jr. is no successor and he may need to be humored but not taken seriously. I doubt anyone sees him other than as access.

@Imperius__13 But he won't represent access 3 years from now. So, everyone has to grab while they can.

Anyway, I would like your loyalties to be widely shared.
