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.
I doubt that will happen; no matter how batshit crazy her takes are, she's still a woman and that's a disqualifier.
Have you seen her?
I doubt it, but she's definitely going to try. So will every other MAGA with a reputation, include media types.
MAGA is a cult of personality, and once Trump assumes room temperature, so will MAGA. But they won't want to let it go, so Don Jr, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Rubio, Patel, Empty G, Boobert, Loomer, Hawley, Johnson, Cotton, DeSatan, etc. will all be stabbing each other in the back.
It will be ferocious and endlessly entertaining.
Nobody will take over. They'll fight amongst themselves, but they were all choosen for loyalty to Trump first and competence a distant second.
A total lack of competence didn't stop Trump.
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.
