Who’s Going To Lead MAGA If Trump Goes Away?

On Thursday night there was a debate during a House committee meeting which really demonstrates what’s happened to the GOP since Donald Trump became the party’s possible/probable Presidential candidate in the 2024 Presidential race.

The session was held by the House Oversight Committee to decide whether to hold the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, in contempt of Congress for something he said or didn’t say or something he did or didn’t do, but it’s nothing more than a meaningless gesture because Garland doesn’t have to respond to such a directive in any way at all.

Be that as it may, when a member of the minority, Jasmine Crockett, a black member from Texas, stumbled over something she was reading, the GOP’s chief Vice Presidential candidate-in-waiting, Marjorie Taylor Greene, made a nasty comment about how Crockett’s “fake eyelashes” were too long and prevented her from seeing the text, the nasty crack setting off a veritable verbal fist-fight which ended the session then and there.

What seems to have happened within the GOP this year is the emergence of a competition within the far-right wing of the party to determine who will become the surrogate leader of MAGA if Trump in convicted of any of the felony charges he’s facing which might result in him landing in jail.
