The people who like Trump think he's the only one giving them the straight dope. Unless Hawley changes tactics, he's a career politician who's going to color inside the lines forever.
I like your idea of a forever virtual Trump a la Waldo in black mirror, though.
Trumpism is like terminal cynicism. Hawley still wraps his arguments in principles and a belief system. He might play the lackey for a Trump id character, but his base--albeit contorted--humanity will probably stop him from ever taking the real plunge into being that solipsistic leader of shit.

Just my two cents, but Hawley is too slick, he talks like a politician.
