If you believe that Republican policies are best for the country, then even the worst of Republicans will be better for the country than almost any Democrat.

Trump already disproved that notion. Trump did tremendous harm, mostly because he insisted on trying to govern through EOs instead of, ya know, passing bills. Yes, they did get the SCOTUS, but that was mostly McConnell. Trump made us a laughing stock, he weakened our alliances, he strengthened/emboldened our enemies...the list is pretty long.

You're talking about a normal Republican. Like McConnell. I would get them lining up behind him. I think he's despicable, but he also is capable.

Trump seems to be more like a cult of personality, like Jim Jones or David Koresh, or even Joseph Smith. I don't like using the word "cult", but that's what it seems to be. Joseph Smith is especially apt because they knew at the time that he was a con-man, but they built a whole church around him anyway.
