I agree with my colleagues. Sorry, but here Trump not only does not have the tools to "defeat the Democrats" - he will have to find a way to deal with internal opposition. And we are not even talking about the "old Republicans", but about his young cronies - Vance and Rubio. ◼ Vance is already trying the role of an independent politician: he talks about the end of the war, the cost of living and reconsidering relations with Israel. It turns out that this is almost an election program where the mistakes belong to Trump, and his vice president is going to correct them. Rubio also distanced himself from expressing doubts about a quick end to the war in Ukraine. ◼ So Trump has to "sing like a nightingale" mainly for his own sake. Although he promises to crush the Democrats, it seems that his associates are already looking after him for a place in politics. And they are very afraid that he will drag them with him into "political oblivion". "Heir to Menorah" All this makes you think about the continuity and consistency of politics. You can, as in Russia, correct the course without changing the leader, but sooner or later this issue will arise in full force. And if in the US this, even if it is distorted, is resolved, then we have not yet developed any mechanisms. It won't hurt. However, we have been saying for a long time that it is worth defining these mechanisms, even if informal, and not waiting for a thunderbolt for baptism.
