@bill_drexel asks about the future of MAGA, and @wrmead expects “a big old-fashioned fight for the future of the party,” after the midterms.

Post script: the qualification on "*probably* not" was unless the wave is much bigger or much smaller than expected. Last night arguably fits in the "much bigger" category. The investigation point still stands.

The Middle East is a bad habit America can’t break. But there’s an easier path than the one we’ve been on. Hint: it involves working with India. wsj.com/opinion/why-the-midd…

"Trump can command the world's attention, and he can turn that attention into political and diplomatic power.
"I think Trump will do what he can to keep the initiative and keep making the news rather than having the news roll over him."
