Still hope for the R's?

From the story in the WSJ about the turtle reckoning:

The rival stances within the party highlight the continued divisions over Mr. Trump’s legacy and continued influence. A January poll by NBC News shows the share of Republicans who consider themselves more supporters of Mr. Trump than supporters of the GOP has declined, with 56% calling themselves backers of the party to 36% of Mr. Trump. Back in October 2020, those numbers were 54% for Mr. Trump and 38% for the party.

And, please, don't reply F**k them. We need a few sane R's, 10 in the Senate to be able to govern and present this to the voters.

But how do we know the ones supporting the GOP are sane? The GOP was already pretty insane before Trump showed up.
