What will happen with Republican "conservatives" once Trump is out of office? [View all]
In their present manifestation, they are weak and disorganized. They have been replaced, by and large, by those exhorting the Trump Party. The sad fact for Republicans is that neither of them can survive without the other.
It is said that "nature abhors a vacuum". There will be a vacuum in national politics once Trump is gone. As much as they might wish to unite again as one Party, it will be very, very difficult for them to do so.
This is just my opinion, but I believe that if Trump was to win a second term, it would also partition the Democratic Party. They would not be capable of hanging together any longer. That would be a final straw for many in the Party. What would happen?
The establishment-types and conservatives would form a new Party, taking on many of the Republican residuals left over after the Trump fiasco and disaster. They would be the new "conservatives". The leftover progressives and allies would be the majority Party in the country.
In effect, the new Democratic Party would include many former Republicans. The two-Party system would likely cease to exist. Politics will be fragmented after Trump.
Just some Saturday morning political thoughts... Only for discussion purposes.
