True. W.’s star fell so far that modern-day Republicans won’t even associate with him, really. In fact, Trump’s rise (crushing Jeb Bush in his wake) was in part a repudiation of Bush’s legacy.
A totally bonkers repudiation of it, but a repudiation nonetheless.
The GOP will have you find a way to do the same with Trump. It will be even harder because of his cult status and the fact he’ll remain constitutionally eligible to run for a 2nd term.
Trump will never give it up. Will his supporters?
