If you've dug yourself into the position that Trump & only Trump can win...what comes next, after he's gone? Because I don't see anybody anything like Trump winning statewide elections. You're gonna have a bench full of more conventional Rs again.

I accept that a post-Trump GOP will have a lot of Trump supporters in it. Oh, we need to purge some noisy extremists & depose some grifters, but the idea of running enthusiastic Trump supporters out of the party is a self-destructive fantasy. But....

...the people who want a party that looks & sounds like Trump aren't a majority, & the only way to make them one is keep shrinking the party. Yes, lots of Rs who aren't with the whole MAGA attitude & program will follow him as long as he's leader; they're team players.

Coalition politics always means learning to play well with other factions in your party, and also accepting that different factions get a turn at the wheel. Too many of the loud MAGA voices haven't accepted that or planned beyond his term.

I didn't vote for Trump in 2016, will oppose his nomination again in 2020, & don't know if I will vote for him next November, but I'm not leaving the GOP. Like it or not, those of us who value liberty & Constitutional government will still need each other when Trump is gone.

Can you find a GOP candidate that will fight back? That will stand up for GOP ideals and voters?

That's an excellent question and I don't think the GOP had a single candidate in 16 that would've fought as strongly as Trump has. I think any of those other candidates would've lost to Hillary. Consider that for a moment.
