      1. The Trumpization of the GOP has been going on for 2 years now. Amazing how some still want to think it's a temporary thing.

      2. Here's something people don't consider: if GOP loses in congress badly in November, party will become more Trumpist, not less.

      3. GOP congressmen & Senators most likely to retire or lose in fall are the ones least happy with Trump, in swing districts. Hardcore Trumpists, in safe seats, will be re-elected.

          4. In defeat, the GOP will have a party where elected officials are the ones in seats where Trump is most popular: the whitest, most rural places. A more extreme GOP.

          5. Further, Trump has made GOP very unpopular with young. So the young who are in the party now are the minority of youth who like Trump. They will be the future of the GOP.

          6. Path dependency is important in politics, particularly in USA where 2 party system is rigid. Trump has set GOP on path for long time to come:https://twitter.com/epiktistes/status/961105595469369344 …

          And as @pareene laid out a few months back, this process is only going to accelerate from here as the old guard dies off and is replaced by the young Trumpist core: https://splinternews.com/charlottesville-was-a-preview-of-the-future-of-the-repu-1797988745 …

          How strong is the actual correlation between hardcore trumpist and safe seat? Seems like the bloodbath primaries GOP has held for past 18 years would weaken the relationship. (I’m sure it’s there, but my be weaker than we would intuitively expect.)

          Not trolling with this: ideologically, what is a "Trumpist"? He personally appears to have no ideology other than financial self-aggrandizement. Is it that they believe the white-racist grievances? Anything else beyond that and the strategy self-aggrandizement.
