Are we also going to ignore that presidents typically lose the congress over the course of their presidency and trump lost less than history dictates?
How about the tremendous gains at state houses all over the country?
This narrative that trump destroyed the republican party is cognitive dissonance and it’s the media’s new narrative because they know it would have been a landslide had covid not happened and or they didn’t have hundreds of millions of money flowing through from big tech to effectively buy votes.

Why should republicans elected officials still be defending the American first agenda? Because their voters overwhelmingly support it. Enough of the garbage principled nonsense as if it actually means anything. You either represent your voters or you lose your positions.

I expect Pence to step up and release enough dirt that Trump will realize he has no shot. He'll be sacrificing any Presidential hopes he may have, but he's the type who would do it anyway.

I don't think Adam is quite right. The party has to find a way to bring both wings together. It strikes me that in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania where there will be competitive races for both governor and senate, the Republikaners © would be well-served to nominate one mainstream candidate and one trumpy candidate. Try to get turnout from both groups.
Dems have comparable balancing acts between mainstream and activist wings. Plus geography is important in states like Ohio and PA. In PA both parties would ideally have one nominee from western PA and one from Philadelphia or its suburbs. Ohio has both a north/south and east/west divide in terms of culture and politics. The voters have final say in the primaries, but to the extent party officialdom can "rig" things they want balance along a variety of dimensions in those states.
Where Adam is right is with respect to 2024. I think it would be bad for the party and country to nominate very poorly chosen one again.

Who cares about history when this most recent movement was the most inclusive in the political rights history. Trump has also been the most pro Jewish president of my lifetime so even the insinuation just proves how effective the media was at brainwashing the population.

Looks like a jilted lover response and yet again the constituency has a different outlook then the elected representative. These politicians used trump to get elected because their normal stance is unelectable.

I suppose birds of a feather flock together, but the vast majority of Trump voters I know were and are aware of his faults. It was just their opinion that he was a better option than the current Democratic party. "Trumpism without Trump" is a pretty popular stance right now.

I wouldn’t go around throwing around “deeper truths” like that. Makes ya sound uppity, and we don’t do uppity folk round these parts

They don’t represent the actual political party while the mainstream position of the democrats is one that is hostile towards Israel. Even now the Biden administration is going to open up talks with Iran which outwardly funds terrorist groups whose sole purpose is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth so get out of here with your fringe hate group with a membership in the double digits.
Odd that you’ve also ignored the group of people that specifically target Jews in NY. Want to guess what political party they most likely vote for?
