do democrats take establishment refugees? centrists might want it but do leftists? (doubt) do they just hang around as a spent force until their terms are up? keep control of the party and force trumpists to start their own party? can he even run again?

heres one smart(?) thing to do 1. democrats relax party dogma and admit existing republican members who hold anti trump 2. run large primaries everywhere, most likely win generally 3. this prevents D / establishment R ticket split with trumpist candidates in rightish districts

basically keeps status quo but freezes out trumpists and prevents establishment ticket splits establishment might go for it but leftists would probably somehow torpedo it oh well
