IF he were to die, i'm wondering who his base would turn to? I'm almost thinking it would be Green? (or maybe Desantis?)

Laura Ingraham, but unlike them she doesn't even have her own show to amplify her trolling.

That's possible too.

Add fuel to the deep state conspiracy but also force an admission that Trump was weak enough to be killed by the deep state.

(36,775 posts)Trump, a NY Yankee, calls Sessions a 'dumb southerner' and they love him down south.
After all, Trump 'tells it like it is'.

I think Texas would have at least 3 in the top ten.

(1,182 posts)Whomever gets chosen for them by the GOP won't get the popular vote by a mile, and yet may still "win" the election.
And crickets for demanding any kind of recount, right? That's what we're all terrified of.
bluestarone
(16,906 posts)My fear as well.
Javaman
(62,517 posts)They would treat it like everything else: a conspiracy
They will elevate him to Jesus status of a martyr
He is already their new religion
And they will pray to a golden status of him or bad blond wigs; whichever is easier.
If anything; they will create a trump pope

(2,254 posts)Maybe the bigger question is, which right-wing nut would want to try to take Trump's place? And which one of those is electable? And if Trump wasn't around to intimidate and deprecate the remainder of the opportunistic Big Lie propagators, they might change strategies. The politicians know Trump is FOS and would love to see him gone but I suppose they need Trump's base, so maybe whoever is as deranged as Trump, like MTG, would win the cigar...
It's an interesting scenario to think about.
bluestarone
(16,906 posts)I fully agree to maybe MTG. It's very possible!

(17,425 posts)"Trump will fade out. The problem is, the next one, instead of being stupid and evil, is going to be smart and evil...like Ted Cruz. And though he will be more palatable on the surface, he will be just as bad, or worse, than Trump".
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)Well, compared to Trump, I guess so, but Ted Cruz is not smart. Even Ivy League schools majorly fuck up sometimes.
He might have a certain functional intelligence that has managed to advance him to the position he has achieved so far, but from what i can tell, he is a pretty dumb guy. I always wonder how people like that manage to rise to positions of prominence. It really baffles me.
LuckyCharms
(17,425 posts)relative. I guess my eye doctor thinks Cruz is halfway intelligent.
I mean, Cruz was smart enough to pass the bar exam. I don't put much faith in something like that being a good gauge though.
But now I'm sitting here trying to imagine tfg being able to pass the bar exam.

He bullshitted the geniuses at Bell Labs and the rest of the Old School wealth and brains, and had good practice for the rest of the country.

(63,221 posts)Apparently it's not easy, so they obviously get help. It does take a number of tries for most of them. A lot of them are from families with money and get coached through it. It's the only way they can make it.

(2,254 posts)..which says people get promoted until they eventually reach a level of incompetence. Actually, that refers to people in corporation mgt. I always figured politicians got into it because they were too sorry to find respectable work. A bit of there...
