If Trump loses, the movement conservative apparatus can dismiss him as an aberration & revert to form. But if he wins: permanent realignment
-
-
-
Trump winning would necessitate a realignment because it'd cause a splintering -- an organized conservative opposition to Trump would emerge
-
Splintered conservative movement = less ability to push a unified agenda = less leverage = less overall power for DC GOP institutions
-
Under a President Trump, the conservative movement would be constantly wracked by vicious internecine fights (like during the GOP primary).
-
Whereas under a President HRC, they can comfortably unify in opposition, paper over ideological divisions, and go back to their old ways.
-
This is why GOP operators with an entrenched interest in the status quo (the type who fawned over Rubio) much prefer a Trump loss.

also why establishment Dems hate him to unique degree. Movement cons are their loyal opposition. Sam Sheepdog defends Ralph E. Wolf

i don't see why. In reality, the president sits at the center of a massive political machinery, not at the top. All are expendable.
