How? By now, the Republican Party is thoroughly Trumpified with all of his supporters and sycophants holding power in the national and state organizations. Most "Never Trump" office holders are now in retirement, whether voluntary or not. The anti-Trump Republicans to the extent they still engage in politics have made or are making their way to the Democrats.Haley is the exception, of course. Win, lose or draw after the election the Cheneys will surely formally re-register as Democrats, just as John Connolly officially became a Republican after November 1972. SR
