    I’m thinking get the person who can run and win in 8 years.

    I think at this point it’s more important to pick the candidate that increases the chances of victory. Trump won’t be in any shape to run (or likely even alive) in 2028 and hopefully MAGA will have died along with him.

      Maga will not die with Trump. Instead it will splinter, and become a lot more chaotic. Even moreso if that happens at a time of strength for the movement.

        I expect the shattering will wound the movement. With Trump, they have a consensus leader and model. Everyone else will fight each other to fill the vacuum.

        Yup. MAGA is just the Tea Party’s child that’s come of age.

        Whatever offspring MAGA presents to America will be even worse.
