David Frum: “The Trump candidacy succeeded because of a massive revolt among rank-and-file Republicans against their leaders. Should the Trump candidacy fail, as now seems likely, those leaders stand ready to deny that the revolt ever happened. Instead, they’ll have a story of a more or less normal Republican undone only because (as Pence said last night) ‘he’s not a polished politician.’ The solution for 2020? Bring back the professionals—and return to business as usual.”

“It’s unlikely to work. But you can understand why it’s an attractive message to a party elite that discovered to its horror that it had lost its base and lost its way.”

1. I'm guessing Pence will be their choice in 2020

2. I think Pence was forced on Trump by the GOP so they could impeach Trump if he were to win in the

first few months. They didn't want Christie or Gingrich who can't be controlled if Trump were impeached. That's my theory.

7. The GOP establishment sounds like the abandoned housewife

expecting hubby to come home after he's gotten over his infatuation with the waitress at that diner.

Sorry, David Frum. Sorry, Bushes. Trump's servin' them up some hot grub like you could only fake.
