Don Jr Rising Republican Star
-
For those who excuse Don Jr for “just being Don Jr”, the face of Republican corruption is alive and well.

Anyone want to take a guess as to what his political future looks like?
-
Republican Party should go ahead and change its name to the Trump Party because that’s where it is heading.
If he wins in November I expect a Trump relative to run every four years for as long as they can.
-
If Trump loses he’ll flame out pretty quickly. Americans don’t like losers.
-
I don’t think his success is contingent on DJTs. It may save his career if it isn’t tethered to a disasterous second term. Then the loyal Trumpers will see him as a champion of what might have been. I think he’s positioned well to run after Trump loses.
-
The party will move on. Probably to someone like Pence, Cotton, or Hawley. Nikki Haley and Tim Scott are in a very high tier as well. If Trump gets buried (too soon to tell) the party will dump him like a bad ex. The last two incumbents to lose (Carter and HW) were basically pariahs in their parties for more than a decade after their losses. Unlike Don Jr, W Bush actually had a real career and record of his own to run on, as successful businessman and governor of Texas. The sharks are circling around the Trumps in case they lose.

Ivanka might be before jr. In her speech she acted like she had done much of the work, we we we. And I.
