    This is fatal mistake in RD's argument. Given Trump's success, why wouldn't 2020 & future GOP candidate imitate?https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/703405928163483648 …

    12. And w/o Trump to hold it together, it's likely to go back to being an inchoate tendency awaiting activation, not an institutional force.

        @HeerJeet Can just any GOP candidate pull off that imitation? Trump is pretty unique.

        @JesseKenn @HeerJeet Totally agree. Trump is sui generis.

        @HeerJeet They’re putting Trump’s cardboard cutout next to John Wayne’s. Hard to imitate a personality cult without “the” personality.

        @Tequila0341 Well Trump has borrowed elements of both: Palin from McCain & anti-immigration stance from Romney.

        @HeerJeet Personality is near impossible to imitate effectively w/o looking cheap. Plus, there is hardly a formula to follow..

        @Tequila0341 @HeerJeet If Trump fails, it won't be because he didn't excite a heretofore unactivated political force

        @HeerJeet also, it seems to assume forces like talk radio & drudge aren't "institutional", when in fact they seem to have the most influence

        @HeerJeet because party leaders - to the degree that they have any control - will see it as deeply unpopular with the general electorate?

        @JimbauxsJournal Key phrase: "to the extent they have any control" -- Trump proves they have no control.
