What if Cruz and Jordan and the like cling to Trumpism and Cotton and others run as the new Trump?
It's almost like they have committed to Trump and his style and that will represent the GOP for a long time.
Weird.
There will always be a faction of the GOP that plays to the hatred of Muslims and Mexicans, or the preservation of "Western Culture". But I really don't see it as being the main focus of the party like it was under Trump. I doubt we see as many Confederate flags at campaign rallies and GOP candidates calling on the Proud Boys during debates.
I thought the Tea Party extremists would split the GOP, and now some people are claiming that the "Squad" of progressives will split the Democratic Party. But both parties generally find a way to appease the extremists enough to keep them voting on party lines.
