When Donald Trump descended that golden escalator at Trump Tower nine years ago this month, no one predicted it would lead to the effective death of the Republican Party of Mitt Romney, John McCain, and George W. Bush — the party’s three previous presidential nominees. But it did, and a battle-scarred and powerful Donald Trump dominates the GOP today.
Similarly, the sudden decision, announced today, of Nigel Farage — a close friend of Trump’s — to become leader of Britain’s Reform Party and directly challenge the ruling Conservative Party could set in motion a series of events that may see him become the leading figure of Britain’s Right.
