line? If the base is a small percentage of "true Republicans" how have they effectively taken over the party? Explain all the people who have sworn off their allegiance to Trump only to run back to him. If you are correct why dont Cheney and Kinzinger have a home in the party.

You may not agree with me but far from having my head up my ass I am simply looking at the results. Keep in mind in 2020 there were a minimum of 11 million people who did not vote for Trump in 2016 and came out to vote for him in 2020. Given the fact there voters who switched from Trump to Biden the actual number is probably more like 17 million new Trump voters in 2020 (that assumes 10% of Trump 2016 voters switched).

The total numbers are irrelevant in the end. Politicians respond to those who vote and the Republican voter today is not the "true Republicans" you reference. And the fact is the gun freaks and pro life absolutists you dismiss have long been a part of the Repiblican coalition.

If you are correct we should soon see the resuts in primaries.
