Alluding to The Who, there may already be a casting call at The Federalist Society to replace Trump's brand of reality TV Presidency. Next time it may be someone who acts more dignified and "Presidential" but one who also knows how to do bad things behind the scenes. And expertly cover them up. That candidate may play the role of someone likeable and empathetic while he advances a "kinder gentler" Project 2028. Same as the old boss, or worse?
