    Nobody else has the ability to be the cult leader that he is. But maybe they’ll be entrenched enough that they don’t need the cultists’ support any more.

      Plus, hasn’t he pretty well decimated the GOP ranks? Any worthy competitor has been exiled or humiliated or both leaving the ranks filled with only sniveling sycophants and uncharismatic bigots.

        The contest won’t be over who can imitate Trump the best. It’ll be who can use Trump as a martyr best. They all know Trump is the glue that holds their machine together.

          Invoking a cult leader as a martyr can only get you so far. I’m unconvinced there’s anyone else likely to successfully take on the mantle of cult leader after him. I guess we’ll see eventually.

          Trump will destroy the courts and elections. Then the rest doesnt matter. Any idiot republican will be able to slide right in.
