The Supreme Court, economic growth, taxation, the border, sovereignty – Republicans against Trump are looking at other considerations. Most such Republicans are familiar with the common arguments. Here are some headaches they may not have considered.
1. Trump will own the party – and he will probably run again in 2020.
To run again, all Trump has to do is maintain his health, remain in the public eye, and suggest that he will probably serve only one term if elected in 2020. If he wins this year, it will be assumed that he will run for re-election in 2020, so why not run again regardless?
"Populism" and nationalism are growing forces, and there is no high-profile advocate of these gut-level impulses on the public stage aside from Trump. HRC will pour gasoline on these trends so that an "outsider" will be even better received in 2020 than Trump was this year.
2. A Clinton presidency may lead to the breakup of the country.
Even if dreams of a GOP renaissance in four to eight years come to pass, that will be after Clinton reconstitutes the courts, likely passes an amnesty with congressional Republican help, and moves the country another four years to the left. Every day she spends in office increases the likelihood that a critical mass of Texans will throw up their hands in disgust and decide to go their own way. If Texas secedes, without Texas's electoral college votes, the Midwest and South will face the prospect of an endless parade of Obama- and Clinton-style presidents and will follow Texas out of the union. Texas has reserved the right to leave at any time, and it will be argued that other states must have that same right if we are a union of equals.
