      1. Trump is not the American Mussolini, but is likely the Yankee Gabriele D'Annunzio, a prefiguration of things to come, an inchoate & incoherent forerunner of the true American Mussolini to come.

      2. The danger is Trump 2.0 -- a Republican politician who, at some point down the line, takes the Trumpian formula but does it in a more competent and effective way, without Trump's personality flaws & lack of discipline.

      3. One interesting thing about last week's the National Conservatism conference is that it gives us some idea of what Trump 2.0 would look like. It would be a Trump who goes in with a think tank infrastructure and policy wonks with ready-to-implement ideas on day one.

      4. There are various possibilities for Trump 2.0 -- Tucker Carlson, Tom Cotton. In the National Conservatism conference, I thought Missouri Senator Josh Hawley made a credible bid for the role: he's young, smart, policy savvy.

          5. I make the case here for looking into Hawley's controversial speech for clues as to what Trump 2.0 might be like: https://www.thenation.com/article/donald-trump-gop-republicans-hawley-wax/ …

          I think Carlson is the only one of those I could see pulling it off. Trump benefitted greatly from a perception that he was moderate on economics. Cotton, Hawley, and basically any elected Republican will have a record that destroys that perception.

          Josh Hawley is not smart. I am not saying this in the vain that right wingers can't be smart it's just that he happens to not be one of their smart ones.

          cotton is an absolute charisma vacuum, though. i don’t think trump generates nearly as much fervor and devotion if he weren’t the boorish loudmouth that he is.

          Bill Barr might already be trump 2.0.
