6. I sense the wheels falling off of the Trump Bandwagon

The adults in the Republican Party are beginning to see a bleak future....and they want their party back.

Much of the story will be told in the dynamics of right-wing media. Will Fox News pivot to a more moderate position...ceding the crazies to Newsmax and OAN?

I hope that an airing of the corruption and Russian entanglements coming out of the courts will awaken the shell-shocked moderates. We need a range of ideas competing for policy decisions.

I may be dreaming, but I hope a new breed of leaders emerges from the ashes of the current GOP. I hope they bring policy-based visions rooted in the common good.

Can the current generation of kooks in the party be purged as their leaders are exposed and jailed? I certainly hope so.
