"f Trump completely loses the conspiracy theory part of the base — the true believers who thought he was going to burn it all down — then he's toast. Not just in the midterms, where he’s already struggling, but in the long game. Because that idea that he was different? That he would break the mold, challenge the system, create a coalition that could last decades, give people something to believe? It’s dying in real time.
He’s mismanaging this worse than anything I’ve seen before. He’s usually a master at slithering out of these messes because his control over the Republican Party is so absolute, but if this part of his base abandons him, the GOP establishment won’t be afraid of him anymore."
