I mean sure seems like something a Harvard rowing team coxswain would be saying is happening.

    You want to hear something scary? The most likely candidate to take over MAGA movement is MTG.

      She’s a stooge and a useful idiot… She doesn’t have the ear of anyone important. Hell, i don’t think she’s on any legislative committees, which tells me nobody important is backing her.

      Edit: just looked at the committees she’s a part of. Her only appointment of note is being chair of DOGE…i rest my case.

        Who in the party supported Trump during his first campaign? The whole party was against him. Until he won.

        (edit: technically his second campaign)

          It’s not the “party” that matters… It’s who is giving money to the party. Sometimes it takes a minute for the donors to settle on the same horse.

            And last time they settled on Trump who didn’t have any support inside the party. So what makes you think they can’t settle on MTG now? Clearly they don’t look on how many committees someone is sitting.

              The question is whether or not the base will follow. Trump may have been a singular phenomenon.

              Probably wishful thinking though.

      Nobody will take over. They’ll fight amongst themselves, but they were all choosen for loyalty to Trump first and competence a distant second.

          He has intelligence of a sort. He can move crowds of people with a certain mindset. That’s not a skill you can just take for granted, and none of his sycophants can do it.
