Huge mistake by these guys latching on to the Trump base. Hawley has big plans, runs for President, etc. He will indeed curry favor with the Trumpers but he is doomed to ever go higher than his own state. Demographics are changing fast in the key counties. Trump was the high point for the percentage of the national vote they can get and unless the Repubs rebuild their party and moderate, zero chance of national office. I doubt we see another Repub President for a long, long time.

Republicans must fix themselves. They tried to poison the entire system, but the system still holds.
