To the degree this is true, and it certainly is for this crowd, it bodes well, w some major potential problems:
1. Tr is weak, fragile. No longer a darling, he has some strong headwinds. An egoist is not a sufficient base for a long-term movement.
2. Others have written well on

potential of the GOP splitting. That would be good for the country. IMO we need a true two party system. But one devoted fundamentally to the core values & foundational propositions of the country. As it is it is anything but. It is not an exaggeration to think a deep
unreconcilable split is in the offing if certain trajectories do not change. One of the concise statements of the syndrome is Molly Ivans identifying one of the core goals of Bush, but by extension the GOP:
They do not wish to govern, but to rule.

At least this. Reminds of the dictum re the Market: "the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."
The corrosive influences on the country by the GQP/QANON/Trumpy/Cpac cohort will be in play long after their power is neutered.

It is the way with religions. They do not go quietly into the night.
Unless & until the sane part of the GOP figures out who they are, & if they are willing to participate for the good of the country, & not be driven by people & principles that are deadly, but personally useful

So these "mugwumps" of the GOP finally separate themselves from their irrational, worshipful tribe, making irritating statements like, "I don't agree, but I cant publically say so..."; until this happens the GOP, such as it is, will increasingly be transitioning into the "GQP".
A wholly owned, subsumed, once-proud party, taken over by nincompoops, like Jordan here. Or smart, but devious leaders like Cruz, or the sickening sycophant Graham.
There needs to be more than 10 who will stand up to Trump and the party and admit the obvious. Trump &

Trumpism are a deadly viral infestation into the country. He is no great leader. However worshipped he may be by the faithful and the hopeful.
Meanwhile,
