Yes, I think I’d prefer to duke it out with Aurangzeb. Pelosi would be using my splintered bones for toothpicks before I knew what was happening ?

Lods, we’re seeing reality diverging from your prediction. Trump is maintaining his gravitational pull on the QOP. Your theory that Trump would fade away after a year or so was rational. Unless this happens, the QOP will remain in the wilderness. But the QOP has opted for the irrational option that allows individual Republicans to retain some power in the short-term.
A few Republicans tried to reach escape velocity and escape Trump’s pull such as Lindsay Graham and Nikki Haley. But they could tell they couldn’t manage it, so they’re changing their tunes as they’re sucked back into slavish fealty to Trump.
How can any of the potential Republican presidential hopes make a case if they’re just parroting Trump’s line. Why vote for pale imitators when you can vote for the real thing?

If QAnon think the accusations that stuff like that happening on the other side are real, QOP can't deny that it happens on their side of politics!

Trump was a very successful president if your Guage is how well the masses were distracted from those who truly weird power and are powerful.

100%
The Republicans have an almighty quandary to deal with. Not only did the Orange One expose/fuel the chasms between the hard right, traditionals and more 'reasonables' but he did give them very good numbers for a strong base - how the hell do you hold that base AND deal with such disparity and dysfunctionality within the party? You certainly will not unite a political party using the rhetoric of the divider, whose very MO was was personality based around his own grandiosity!! :o : 
The Orange One was a deeply divisive character with serious personality and mental health issues, demonstrated quite spectacularly through a Neanderthal and fundamental attitude of 'winners & losers / " you're either fer me or you're agin me"'. If you're for him, you're fantastic, great, beautiful... and he may even declare love for you. If he thinks you're 'agin' him, you're a fake, fraud or unpatriotic. Addressing this lingering toxic cloud within the Republican Party will be especially difficult for such conservative people, who, by their very nature, fear change.
So if a future Republican leader decides to follow the Orange One's script... may the gods help them! They'll end up in a world of cr@p. The Orange One was authentically himself - as deranged as that was. The newbie actually needs to be the opposite of the Orange One... someone who unites AND holds the base - good luck finding him (won't be a her, that's a leap to far for conservatives).
And no point hoping for Jesus/a Messiah (we at the CFC have learned that!!!!) to reappear, if he did he'd be an independent... and Jesus was something of a radical and definitely not conservative, but that's another topic.

[member=61]Baggers[/member] I think that you’re being very disrespectful of Neanderthals. They were superbly adapted for life in Ice Age Europe and their society was rich with artistic, spiritual and communal endeavour. Apart from African folk, all modern humans carry Neanderthal DNA but I suspect that Aurangzeb inherited less than most; Neanderthals had large hands

QOP; Queen of Pain or wordplay on GOP that’s far too subtle for me :-\

I'm guessing it stands for "QAnon"OP.

Yep. Some call it the GOPQ but QOP is more emphatic and quicker to type!

) ) ) David, thank you for picking me up on this scientific reality. Dreadful oversight on my part. I should have factored in the hands... :-[  ;D
