    Being the lead Never Trumper is a great spot to be in if Trump loses again.

    It’s incredibly abnormal that Trump stayed powerful in the party after losing a presidential race. Historically, Republicans turn to the 2nd place candidate from 4 years before. Romney was 2nd place in 2008. McCain was 2nd in 2000.

      Oooh good point, orient herself so if the RNC reorients away from Trump, she’s ‘ready and willing’ to lead - or a figurehead for the factional schism if they do decide to stick to the MAGA lunacy?
