      I've said this a few times before but I am not so certain there is anyone who can replicate Trumpism and get the same political results except for Trump. Somehow, we still greatly underrate the extent to which Trump's sui generis celebrity is his special sauce.

      Yep, tens of millions of people over the course of a decade watched a "reality" television show that relentlessly pushed the idea that Trump was among America's greatest businessmen. Who else has that kind of juice? https://twitter.com/rianwatt/status/1324798282074222592?s=20 …

      Some future Republican may be able to assemble a winning coalition for a similar politics, but I don't think we can just assume it will be Trump + competence, since I don't think Trump's appeal to marginal voters happens on the level of "normal" politics.

      My main takeaway from this week is that whatever happens next, I'm not sure we'll really be able to predict the shape or form it takes.

      It’s striking, eg, that Trump the “business genius” retained his support on the “better about the economy” question. Some clever GOP Senator or even Tucker Carlson won’t be able to have that baked in the cake.

      What helped him on the economy was he inherited the most mature phase of the recovery (when wages started rising), Feds changed policy to push for more employment, & CARE unemployment top up was generous. Dems needed to explain that & didn't.

          That's not something that Democrats can successfully "explain" because voters always resist opposite party critiques of favorable conditions during a Presidency.

          He also gets a boost from the widespread delusion that republicans are better for the economy.
