The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

If he puts KellyAnne in charge, and if he goes on a 24/7 "Affordability and Immigration" campaign. ----I believe Trump can win the electoral college. I still believe that. Trouble is I'm not sure that's going to happen.

If Trump loses - I think the GOP civil war begins the next morning, and I suspect it's started behind the scenes already.

I'm curious what you guys think: Do you want a MAGA way forward? OR do you want a return to Establishment Republicanism al la Bush, McCain, Romney etc.

Methinks the Establishment has been quiet, they've bided their time and figured wither Trump wins and MAGA ends in 4 years, OR he fizzles out and MAGA ends within 4 years.

This time around I see a plethora of candidates fighting it out to be MAGA heir apparent.

Oddly - and this is rare for me - in 2028 I feel the Establishment has some quality candidates. Not saying I like their politics just saying they'd be good candidate: GOVERNOR KEMP, GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN and I tell you what - I feel Governor Sununu would be excellent on the campaign trail out of all 3 of them.

So if you could wave a wand - do you want a MAGA GOP, or do you want it back to the Bush-McCain-Romney-Cheney party.

Truth be told, I love MAGA on trade and immigration and foreign policy but the problem is it's only the Trailer Park candidates who would run with that. And there's be fakers pretending. And I'm tired of the Trailer Park having so much influence on the Right. It's like I have to choose between the Trash and the Establishment and I really hate that.

Curious what you prefer.
