There is no going back to the Republican Party of McCain and Romney. Their base has made it absolutely clear what they want, and it’s to be as cruel and proud of their ignorance as possible.
I doubt it but we’ll see. They have no redeeming qualities as far as I’m concerned. I can’t imagine a future voter aligning with them over democrats when they are volunteering to be assigned with the shadow of MAGA over them.
Mainly due to the primary system. In the primary election, it will be their current base voting for which candidate to nominate, not the ideal base they might want. So the primaries will produce candidates that cater to the extreme MAGA base rather than moderates who have already been completely alienated from the party.
They will be back after 1 or 2 elections .
Hopefully, though, in a less extreme form.

Their current base has made that clear, yes. But they could change who their base is by appealing to more moderate voters instead.

Well, yeah. It is unlikely.
