Trump converted the GOP from the Chamber of Commerce's lap dog back to the people.
RINOs and Never-Trumpers still like that CofC cash, too bad. Romney and McCain lost, and Trump won in 2016 with his "Populist America First" policies after decades of the middle-class losing ground and the top 1% winning everything.
So even if Trump is the wrong messenger now, he lit the fuse, and that fuse is NOT going out any time soon, especially after the voters see the direction Xiden and the democrats are taking the country. We'll see in 2022 and 2024 which message carries the day.
That's fine. Find an honest messenger with respect for democracy and have at it.
The GOP should win in 2024 against "Heels up" Kamala Harris after 4-years of the "Green New Deal" with any of these
