Out of over 450 total, couldn't guess none would go indie or switch parties over the next 4 years though. The Republican Party has become toxic, and with this current crowd this decision would tend to be voter and donor driven, far more than conscience or long-abandoned principles and ideals.

If it looks like the republican party is not going to snap out of its thrall to Trump by the midterms, they may switch to Indy. If, on the other hand, their adherence to principle will seem to pay off, they'll probably stick it out to become the standard bearers of the new and improved GOP.

More like the faces trying to rebuild the GOOP... Whether feasible or not, Tim ( whomever Tim is) will tell.

He is 100% GOP. He is just anti-Trump, who shares nothing with the traditional Repub Party.

trump was president for four years and they didn't switch. I'm sure they feel like they just took a big dump and are ready to chop some wood.

The Repuke civil war is only beginning.

If they try to stay in the Trumpist party they will be expelled.
