What Will Tucker Do?

David Brooks wants to know if we, as individuals, have a plan to keep the country from falling apart if Trump refuses to concede in the face of a clear defeat. It is an all too plausible scenario, and a completely legitimate question.

But there are better questions, directed at GOP leaders. What will Tom do? What will Last Ditch Mitch do? What will John Roberts do? And, above all, what will Tucker do? Will he grit his teeth and tell his viewers to live with a Biden victory, or will he summon them on the streets to burn down the republic in order to save it?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, of course, but here are my best guesses. Cotton will support keeping Trump in power by force. McConnell will see the situation as an opportunity to make a deal with Biden on substance in exchange for maintaining the Constitution. Roberts will do his duty, because he always has in a pinch. And Tucker? If Rupert Murdoch doesn’t figure out that his best interests aren’t served by an ash heap America, it’s burn, baby, burn.
