Fusionism struggles to govern effectively because its small-government vision can't be fulfilled and so it lapses into pro-business pork-barrelism. But can it remain (or return to being) the ideology of the anti-liberal blocking coalition after Trump? Yes, it very plausibly can.

Sure, this is possible. But maybe it's because you're used to being disappointed by so many reformocon defeats that you take this fusionist status quo as if it's written in stone. It isn't. It's contingent on an alignment of elite and popular forces that is now waning.
