They were told the risks of pinning their entire political strategy and identity on one septuagenarian gameshow host, and did it anyway
Yes but think about how much they accomplished in those 4 years! Totally worth it.
Unfortunately I think this might be unironically true for them
The policy promises were mostly unfulfilled, but they did in fact stack the judicial system with sycophant judges from top to bottom. The real goal was actually achieved.

Sounds about right. Lindsey Graham even said that this would happen...so...they shouldn't be even remotely surprised.
They had their chance, they had a chance to separate from Trump to build a new identity. Hell even had a candidate who would have worked for them. Instead they let Trump dub their guy the meatball and completely derail the process. They didn't have the balls to take a chance and change and now it's too late they don't have enough time.
