I suspect you will see more and more non-MAGAs retiring before the election, and those will be replaced with more extreme versions. The Republican Party has been on life support for a while, but I think the part, as it was, is dead. That's not to say it will not see more success given the polarization and gerrymandering of our districts, but the old GOP is gone. I don't see it coming back even when Trump is gone.
Yeah. Nikki Haley is Nelson Rockefeller. I mean she might as well be the No Labels nominee. There are forces in the GOP that are going to want to ensure she has no future there if she comes back in 4 years, and it's not like if she went over and supported Biden and the Democrats that they would allow someone like her to have any real influence on what they think and do. I think as far as electoral politics are concerned, she's probably done being a credible candidate for a high office that has a chance of winning for at least a decade.
As a person that's left the Republican Party and am trying to make a thing of the Libertarians where I live, the one thing I'll say that I think Republicans are finally waking up to is organization does matter. Trump in 2016 was nothing as far as organization, and won anyway in part due to the GOP was heavily splintered. This was aided by the party's routine fratricides internally arguably from 2010 forward and was still going on into 2022. It seems these fratricides are becoming less and less this cycle, either due to everyone realizes they need to get along, or more likely Trump has taken over real control of the party and everyone except the Michigan GOP and Nikki Haley's supporters acknowledges it.
