Not really a surprise; the political establishment of even the Republican party got really sick of Trump during his time in office because of the chaos. He didn't behave like the typical useful idiot President and torpedoed a couple of easy legislative victories by tweeting in rage when they were almost through Congress.
Those that haven't tied their hips to Trump are now party outsiders.
Consider, a former republican presidential candidate who was eating ice cream alone in their DC apartment.
Trump is the republican establishment now.
How cool would it be if Trump straight up killed the Republican party and they replaced it with something more grounded and centrist?
We might actually be able to push left!
