So...Trump/MAGA brand is officially toxic?
Do we start seeing Republicans wanting a future backing away from Trump?
That was pretty much always the course for 2028. Trump was one-of-a-kind, which is both good and bad.
We are done with Bush-league Republicans, which is good, and a couple big wins on the border and in SCOTUS. Trump's policies 2026 essentially failed across the board, and the next two years will be a drifting mess.
The question now is who will lead in 2028. Will the Republicans find someone with the energy of Trump, the practicality of DeSantis, and the charm of Reagan, or will we see the return of the likes of McCain, Romney, and Dole? And will the Democrats move away from their love of insane policies and give us someone centrist enough to believe in, or will we see another Obama or Biden?
It's going to be two years of soap opera, followed by who knows what.
God help us.
