Two things. Leaders don't sprout from the top. Whitman said to have great poets we need great audiences. To have great leaders we need great followers. Uniting people for pursuit of worthwhile goals, my day job, involves bottom-up without top-down bureaucratic or technological interference.

Forget all the other stuff. The Republican Party will rise from innovation in the public interest: what men and women would choose if they saw clearly, thought rationally and acted disinterestedly. They won't let others do their thinking for them. "A great community leader" rises from the bottom. Pushed up.

Current and contagious Republican unbonding is forerunner of the party's rebalancing after November. GOP rebirth is underway. Even those who support Trump but despise him as a scoundrel are trying to escape lasting public opprobrium as "Vichy" politicians who put themselves before country.
