Mitchell looks to be playing short term echo chamber games. Whatever his candidate says get boosted, whatever the other candidate says gets trashed. Business as usual and not a sign of realignment.
Should Trump lose, I don't know what happens to the 'conservative' platform and ideology. He would leave it in a mess. There is the potential for something new to come out of it. I don't know that he is a broad principle guy though. Has he got any sweeping generalizations the like of 'government isn't the solution, government is the problem' that might define an era? He seems to me like a guy who lives in the moment, might take good advantage of the current news cycle's opportunities, but makes a poor sea anchor.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
