I think the results in 2020 suggest that some "non-Trump" messaging had an effect.
Admittedly, I don't know how much but national elections are won on the margins

(18,936 posts)2. Do you mean impact for better, impact for worse, or either?
Because I think it is possible for either, but there are too many unknowns to predict which way if any right now.

That would be over 6 million Democratic votes. Probably more than the number of "never-Trumpers"?

Biden did 10 points better than Hillary Clinton among Independents, and he doubled her showing among moderate and liberal Republicans. He improved on her performance among two swing religious groupsCatholics (up 5 points) and mainline Protestants (up 6). Most important, he raised the Democratic share of suburban voters by 9 points, from 45 to 54%, and among White suburban voters, from 38 to 47%.

I would think "moderate and liberal" Republicans would include quite a few "never that guy" voters.

will be overtaken by someone who makes sense to all America. IMO.
