In reply to the discussion: I predict Trump's demise towards the end of 2022 [View all]Martin Eden
(12,847 posts)29. Trump's power is in the rightwing voting base
As long he is a cult hero to those ignorant masses he is king of the Republican Party and can end the political career of almost any Republican politician who dares to stand against him.
However, that does not necessarily translate to power in government. In the general election having candidates further to the right in post-truth crazyland could spell doom for the Republican Party.
At least I hope so.
When Trump won the 2016 nomination I was actually pleased because I thought no way could that malignant orange blowhard get elected president.

True, most of those were civil lawsuits, not criminal charges or NY AG charges.

I was hoping you were a psychic with one hundred percent accuracy and were predicting his death.

I think you make an excellent point about Trump's failures. He dragged the GOP down to his level

There is some evidence to suggest that Trump's prominence as a cult leader is diminishing too.
