So why does the GOP still control the Senate (which it did before and after Trump), and why does the GOP still control a majority of governorships and state legislatures (which it did before and after Trump). Trump didn't bring any of that to a halt. So if this kind of success if what you call "drowning in a swamp of non existence", you better hope the GOP doesn't really show up some day.

Obviously, he's the most prominent Republican. But there's a lot more to the party than Trump. Many prominent Republicans (the Bushes, etc) can't stand him.

"Pence will never pull it off, was a failed, bankrupt politician before Trump picked him for VP"

Pence is a failure of a politician? Let's see, he was elected to the United States Congress. Then he left that to run for Governor of Indiana which he won. Then he left that to be VP in a race which no one said he could win, but he did. So what are the failures, exactly, which completely define him in your eyes?

"Nikki Haley
She's far too smart to run as Trumps VP, she already distanced herself from him for good reason"

You know hwat the reasons were? Last time I checked, she never hinted at the reasons. Yet somehow you know. Please, don't keep all this knowledge to yourself, please share, enlighten us?

Nikki Haley is going to likely be on the executive ticket in 2020 or 2024. She will be a serious candidate.


"We elected one conspiracy theorist, might be worth repeating"

Oh, my goodness. What conspiracies did Tom Cotton embrace?
