You might wake up a few months later and see your arrest, filmed through a police body camera, with a million views online.

To many Republicans, this year’s elections are most alarming for what they may tell us about their party’s future. Put simply, the results suggest that the GOP has become perilously reliant on voters who will only turn out for Trump — a man who will (almost certainly) never be on the ballot again.
