The Republican National Convention was almost entirely built around President Donald Trump. Videos praised his accomplishments, speakers fawned over his leadership, and in unusual move, he planned to appear every night of the convention. This left many wondering — what will happen to the party when Trump eventually leaves? In this latest YouTube video, Chris Cillizza breaks down the perilous position the GOP finds itself in, and where it’s headed next.

Hey – Chris here. Who do you think can fill Trump’s shoes in the GOP?

@Puddles 59 you don’t know. No wonder your dumb
@Christy Ann McSweeney’s Internet Tendency unfortunately this site was removed because it was full of misinformation is there a different site you could give me that hasn’t been banned for misinformation yet?
@JayBe Faulky Haha!
@Ruth Harris
Thank you very much for caring 😁.
I’m passed this stage 😟. I’m devastated by the level of cravenness and idiocy I’ve now witnessed in the human species, but I’m an optimist at the core, deeply realistic, but optimistic… I don’t think I’ll ever recover from what I’ve witnessed most of my life bc none of it was for the betterment of mankind, it was all for a handful of desperately greedy b.. (and greed can be found for so many objects). I only hope that when I die it won’t have all been in vain 😉
Three days of Trump rally so far. When will the RNC start?
You’re missing the best videos from the RNC.

Start what ,pretending like they are human
What the hell is Guilfoyle and Trump Jr. on? They are so out of control.

@keir farnum Lol.
@Terry Wolf I paid attention to his comment. Guess you liked your own comment eh?
@Diane Hooper I also paid attention to his comments, guess it’s your selective hearing..
BLOW🙄
Why does the GOP leadership all look like the bad guys in a bad daytime soap opera?
Why does dnc leadership look like a civil war?
@J Brady because the republicans look like some DAP…dry a$$ poosay..flaky…like dandruff…needs some head n shoulders at that RNC
😂😂😂
@Anthony Gordon It’s not an argument. User @Rod expresses difficulty telling the difference between Liberal men and a female news anchor. It’s a simple observation. For all your talk of the right, I’m surprised you’d be jumping to the defense for an obvious right wing troll.
Pelosi looks like Maleficent so I see your point.
I suspect there will be a breaking into 2 factions: One group fiercely holding onto Trumpism, the other Never Trumpers and Lincoln Project conservatives. The GOP will be no more
@Lexy Swope I always call the republican party today the Dixiecrat’s with a wig on. After the Civil Rights act of 1967. The Democrats gladly escorted all the racist out of the party when they changed their agenda to focus on minorities and the lower class.
We can only hope.
His stink would make a skunk smell wonderful.
Yep.
@Stephen Lewis Agreed!
“Widest swath”? More like “Whitest swath”.

Instaand with hate for Trump and all boomers
@GENDERTRANSCENDENT MERMAIDQUEENKING and you still want our money, right?
So true
That’s the Left in a nutshell …. no clue, no plan …. just mock President Trump. They are relegated to mocking because they’ve exhausted every other dirty trick. Although they do have this mail-in ballot scheme under their sleeve. Oops …. I forgot about their BLM/Antifa diversions.
✌ BIDEN/HARRIS 2020👍
Alex Murphy It’s never happening 😂🤣😅
Tyler Micha yeah, that’s why Trump is trying everything to discredit his replacements. I’d laugh too
@GoKart Mozart so you like pedo presidents and a real black women as the vp. Get off the net. You are lost.
What comes before the fall? Oh yeah, it’s pride.
The name is trump’s “ ZOMBIES’’
Biden zombie
@A A BWAHAAAAHAHAAA!!!
Still believing in polls after your last embarrassment, eh?
Will you mindless lemmings ever learn to think for yourselves?
You’re setting yourself up for disappointment once again, moron.
Good luck with that!
jondeare yet your side is losing more and more people by the day LOL
Clifford, in the case of a black man on death row Kamala Harris fought hard to keep DNA evidence sealed,meaning she didn’t even care if a innocent black man was put to death!
@A A You’ll be so disappointed when you realize trump will win in a land slide. Actually no, you wouldn’t be disappointed, you would be in denial the whole time.
Let’s wonder about this after the WIPE and FLUSH
Then the burning of train loads of Sage
After Trump, there will be a whole bunch of old white guys pretending they didn’t co-sign everything Trump did.
David Braun I’m far from right wing both sides are bullshit and have the same agenda. The way they reached to trump tells me he’s against there agenda. I don’t get my news from one source unlike you guys who only watch what backs your ideas. No wonder all the democrats I know are voting for trump.
David Braun 93 miles not 3-5 again stop listening to the media owned by the left
Jay Ess know your history republicans are the ones who fought to free slave. They also fought for there right to vote and the democrats were against both of those. Democrats also elected kkk members into the senate who’s the real racist?
Russia buddy BORIS trumpster
@L Hale Obviously yes.
When your family is running the White House, I think that’s called a monarchy.
His whole family is speaking at the national Republican convention.
@Valdene Allison
Trump would have paid them off somehow, and the would have taken the money. Everyone is bought and paid for in this administration; either by money, bribes, or blackmail.
@Donna Payne Actually, the CDC just re calculated the way they counted the Chinese Virus deaths and it came about to about less than 10,000 deaths and now you know, and knowing is half the battle! https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm?fbclid=IwAR1imE-bfS7HQ29jV5VbgVcaOH88wA4-TqB8dLL6x7iLjHPVrOHRI22po2Q#Comorbidities
JENDALL714 I’m not sure where you see that. This is what I see when I pull up the cdc data. 182,622 deaths. Updated August 31 2020 2:02PM https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#cases
Yes Tony, just like the Bush’s with their 2 Presidents and Jeb, and then again with Bill Clinton’s wife running, which would make her a hereditary monarchical Queen, no?
@hEAtOniK That’s when Russia or China, or both just walk in and thank the useful idiot Dems …. then proceed to mow them all down. If you want your Communism, you can keep your Communism will be the Lefts mantra.
After trump? Nothing but a bunch of people in federal prison if there is any justice in this county at all.
The GOP without TRUMP? Semi-respectable again!
“What will the GOP be without Trump?”
Infinitely better
What will the GOP be without trump? IN PRISON!!!
Naw … Trump is getting people out of prison … where have you been?
@David Straub They’ll go back in when he moves his fat arse into the Big House.
The phrase “Cult of Personality” was popularized by Khrushchev in a speech denouncing Joseph Stalin. There are a staggering amount of similarities between Trump And Stalin. I don’t mean coincidences. I mean fundamental things, like their approaches to using power and what drives their decisions and actions. And, also, the cult like way their supporters view them.
Trump wants to be an American Stalin, and his base wants that too.
I wonder if Stalin was as stupid as Rump or if maybe they both just pretended to be stupid.
@Brad B Stalin was not smart. He was extremely ruthless, however. Trump fires people who talk back to him. Stalin had them shot.
@Peter Kazavis Just because you don’t like the truth doesn’t make it any less true. Trump isn’t as ruthless (yet) as Stalin but their egocentric worldview, narcissism, and vapid ignorance are fair to compare.
You mean how Barry was the American Lenin?
@Jarry Sciligo Rump is the stupidest person I’ve ever seen. George Bush is a close second.
“THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!”
Remember to yell it at the top of your lungs.
Absolutely agree
“Trump begged China like a dog to help him win re-election”

Sounds like lebum james method. Hate america for what america has given to u. Opportunities.
Can they back up that claim? Answer: NO.
