Yep. And NONE of them are going to get DOPUS-level turnout either no matter what they say or do, so they are likely screwed at least in presidential elections going forward.
You are probably wrong about that.
There's still a LOT of state level GOP control in the swing states. The GOP can still win those states in the next couple of cycles -- so long as you make voting more difficult in those states. Which is already under way -- more voter ID, less drop boxes, less mail voting, etc.
well, let's just say that it won't be because they didn't at least try to suppress the vote and to rile up racist fantasies of white nationalism.
They'll give it a good go. And it'll work for a bit...in some places.
That said, I don't think any of these jack wagons has Trump-level of appeal nationally. IMO, he was a particularly unusual animal.
Your prediction as to how this likely will play out is probably correct...however, as one of those supposed RINO's I'd like to see it go another way, but ahhh well...
That said, I really think Trump would prefer to have his own party, his own media empire, no one not 100% loyal welcome to the party.
