Here's the rub: if you are a Republican politician who has become Trumpified, then you have an albatross around your neck with the very voters you hope to activate toward you for 2022, that is Indies and center right to center lefters. With Trump superimposing himself on the party the template for snatching defeat out of victory's jaws is already well established. His presence is a cancer within the party and it will doom any movement toward genuine reform against a unified foe. You might disagree but if one is inclined to wager a dinner at Delmonico's I have already picked out my steak of choice.
