Trumpism vs. Bidenism
By David Zukerman

Leave it to Madison, in the fifth paragraph of Federalist No. 57, to anticipate the current matter of whether Liz Cheney is to remain the third-ranking Republican member in the House of Representatives, as chair of the House GOP conference, or be replaced by Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Madison pointed out that membership in the House of Representatives is not to be a matter of  wealth, class, or society status.  He wrote that the rich no more than the poor will be members, and then, after stating "not the learned more than the ignorant," added: "not the haughty heirs of distinguished names, more than the humble sons of obscure and unpropitious fortune."  In current context, it is, arguably, fair to infer that Madison would say that Liz Cheney, as a daughter of a vice president, has no more right to chair of the House Republican conference than, say, Elise Stefanik, whose name 'til now could not have been considered a household word.  Indeed, it is fair to ask: would Liz have reached the House of Representatives, much less the third rank, if her name were Haney instead of Cheney?

Madison, in stating that officials are to be drawn from the general population and, in office, were to stay on the same plane as the common citizen, was making the case for the federal government to be based on populist principles.  This is what Trumpism is all about, with the added proviso that it is an aggressive form of populism.  Trump populists will not shrink from engaging with the totalitarian-minded Democrats and NeverTrumps.  Trumpists will embrace what Lisa Lerer called his "pugilistic style" in a "hit Trump" piece, The New York Times, May 8, 2021, "Trump Keeps an Iron Grip on the G.O.P."
