they may go down the broadcasting route. People make the mistake in thinking that they can all go back to the GOP after this, and they'll all play happy families again, but they are delusional. There's about 30% of Republican support will only answer to Trump, and they aren't going to have anything to do with a Mitt Romney or someone like that.
