Depends on whether they take Trump as a lesson and learn that lesson, or if they double down (for example, electing Cruz as their next candidate).

- krapp 6y agoUnfortunately, none of Trump's political views are in any way outside of the mainstream for the Republican Party. Even most of the conspiracy theories he believes in are boilerplate Fox News/right-wing talk radio fare. If Trump had handled COVID better and not gone insane seeing leftist boogeymen everywhere, he might have won. The Republicans will distance themselves from Trump because it's the most politically expedient thing to do, but if they've learned anything, its how potent Trumpism can be, and that they just need a more competent demagogue to harness it next time.
