One thing that I have interested to see is that despite the large amounts of effort that past GOP people who were ousted by Trump have put into the campaign to swing moderate Republicans to Biden, it simply hasn't worked. The Republican swing to Biden is about the same as the Democrat swing to Trump (which I really don't understand.)
I get the feeling that this is a result of those same leaders' actions previously where they set up the field for their supporters to believe that any Republican was a better choice than any Democrat because all Democrats were communist demons wanting to destroy the US and make it a Communist State.
They created the environment that Trump was able to flourish in, and now that they have lost those levers of control to the GOP to him, they are unable to get them back. They have become the victims of their own calling previous GOP leaders RINOs and creating a world of paranoia, fear, and distrust in their supporters.
This seems to have been why they couldn't take anyone with them because once they were seen as outsiders, they too became the Enemy. The GOP is more of a cult than anything now.
