No Republican is ever going to run as a moderate again thanks to the Tea Party/TRUMP.
There's Charlie Baker. And Larry Hogan. And Phil Scott.
There are still quite a few.
Those people are persona non grata in the national Republican Party and represent blue states. Don't be intellectually dishonest.
Susan Collins? Carlos Curbelo? Elise Stefanik? Brian Sandoval? Spencer Cox? Ileana Ros-Lehtinehen, probably one of the five most powerful women in the House? David Joyce? Lamar Alexander? Bill Haslam? Shelley Moore Capito?
The list goes on and on. In case any of you forgot, Kasich was the plurality of Trump's primary voters second choice, esp. in the Northeast, West Coast, and Midwest. Without Trump in the race, he and Bush combined would have cracked 30-40%.
What poll says Kasich was not the plurality of Trump voters second choice?
