Trump has anchored us to such a degree of daily insanity, that a right wing - dare I say far right - but less dramatic - will feel like a relief. My baseline assumption is if Trumps not around, a slightly saner GOP, with still Trumpy policies, becomes way more popular. So Vance or whomever will have a Unitary executive with some norms reestablished (like Fed independence) and some knee jerk Trumpy policies (like tariffs) back to some level of sanity.

After all is said and done we’ll have a right leaning government but with most of the day to day insanities and drama removed. But still far more right wing than we would have tolerated 10 years ago.

Either that or without Trump the Trump coalition implodes.

Or a puppet president is elected with Trump able to bully them into what he wants. But not sure his health lasts for that.
