Also just to further add on. The Republicans are basically drifting along by the Trump cult of personality, which if he dies has a solid chance of collapsing. Given how rough he is looking and the seeming exponential increase in his medical shit it’s probable he’ll be dead by the mid terms, hell he may be dead by the primaries.
Good point, it’s a classic Cult of Personality, which means there is no #2, and a whole lot of people who think they should be #2, and not one of them will look interesting to Trumpers. Once he croaks, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will be glorious. Wear a poncho.
The only worry I have is that the cult will jump to Baron or something. Though I do think Donald basically got lucky with it and the whole thing may be impossible to keep going. Best case is that large elements of MAGA that joined due to COVID and whatnot go back to being inactive.

Trump is #1 and #2.
