      Looking down the line, I'm guessing it'll have to be someone untainted by the moment, populist but not racist and younger -- some mixture of Kasich & McMullen.

          But we don't live in a world where we get our preferred choices, Jeet. Every little bit counts. And maybe Romney, unshackled from the presidential process, will have more room to be like Mitt from Massachusetts. That would be major progress, especially in Utah.

          it's funny that you regard Massachusetts Mitt as more authentic than presidential candidate Mitt. He will be whatever is expedient; he is a man of no principle. You would do well to not give him false credibility that he will only use against you.

          Who in the GOP will fight Trump on things like judicial nominations and executive branch appointments, let alone substantive legislation? I don't even think McMullin will. Elected, non-retiring GOPers must defy and resist or the republic is doomed.

          What kind of right-wing populism doesn't involve racism? Also Kasich and McMullen? How is either one of those guys a populist?

          Which of Kasich and McMullin are providing the populist genes to this laboratory experiment?

          Then you fundamentally misunderatand the problem. Trump is the inevitable result of 60 years of conservatism. All those "principled conservatives" who cheered for the first 99 steps and now express oitrage at the 100th... it's a dishonest performance.
