Am I the only one thinking the GOP is going to see some Reps. switching party over Trump? [View all]

It sounds like RNC leadership is pushing for solidarity with Trump and there are some who are never going to support him. I'm wondering if this leads to some lawmakers leaving the Republican party and becoming Independents, which would help give Democrats a majority.

I haven't seen anyone else bring up this possibility.
