Some may. I think Linda Chavez would. But like I said, some have left never to return and have effectively recanted on much of their conservative ideology and policy views, not just their membership in the Republican Party. (I.e., Jennifer Rubin.) And in my view, thatтАЩs the path taken by Tim Miller, Charlie Sykes, Tom Nichols and others, to varying degrees.
I agree that the last few years have affected their thoughts on the Republican party's brand of consevatism, but not on conservatism itself. I think the agreement we see here between them and the Dems today is just a function of common opposition to Trump and Trumpism. I think it masks fundamental underlying differences in political philosophy.
I don't know who Jennifer Rubin is. Never heard of her.
They were Republicans before Trump. I think they will very happily be Republicans after Trump. If only the party would get rid of him.
