Wonder if Republicans are starting to realise the damage trump did to the party...
That would require at least a couple things:
The ability to think about anything beyond Trump.
Thinking that the brand is worth a damn. Seems like most of them, especially the Trumpist-types, only care enough to use it to get on ballots.
That's not to say those who think Trump had damaged the party don't exist; they do. But they've been cast out to the fringes, or even to the Democrats. Like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, the Lincoln Project people, and others.
The fact that so many of these wannabe speakers are seeking Trump's endorsement would suggest they still don't get it.
