    It’s time for Republicans to say No to Trump and take their party back next election - sit out or vote Harris this election and in a massive defeat MAGA will be destroyed and Republican party can be rebuilt on proper grounds again.

    The problem is that their career would have been declared dead by political suicide by the time they got about halfway through even reading that sentence. Remember, many of these people represent districts that see all the bigotry and hatred and are saying “Yes, we want more of that.”, and standing up to Trump has not gone well for virtually any prominent member of the party.

    People have tried what you suggested, to varying degrees. Liz Cheney, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney. It hasn’t ultimately led to a defeat of MAGA. All it’s done is leave the door open for them to be replaced by people even crazier than they are.
