    If the GOP ends up a hybrid party that marries Trumpism w/ trad conservatism, who's better positioned than Mike Pence to carry the banner?

        he's definitely in the mix, but I think being Trump's running mate (& doing so well) makes Pence the man to beat.

        If they lose badly, would Pence still be well positioned? I'm thinking someone like Rand Paul who's heterodox but also an adult

        I think a landslide loss lessens his chance. But right now, it's looking close.

        Yeah, and even if it's a landslide, if the loss as seen as Trump's fault, Republicans will wish he was at the top of the ticket

        How do you define Trumpism? Ignorance, racism, isolationism, fascism? What I hear from Trump is horrible. Nothing is good.

        This is doubly true considering the GOP's history of nominating the next man in line.

        Pence's views on social policy look like a pretty substantial drag on broad viability at the top of a nationwide ticket.

        But will Trump supporters ever be able to forgive him for making the Great Orange look bad by comparison?
