There's a profitable section of the GOP that can probably be saved for them, though. What it comes down to is that when Trump dies, the strong likelihood is that MAGA fragments into a thousand different shards centering around flavor of the week shouters, and the remaining institutional strength of the company men lets them keep the business going. That's why the likes of Emmer don't do the Cheney- stay inside, wait for the Trump storm to blow out, be kings of the rubble. Cheney, Kinzinger, our Bulwark crew here have migrated to no man's land where they may get some respect, but nobody's bringing them into the room for strategy conferences or appointing them to cabinet positions.
Honestly, I don't think that's the worst bet on the company men's wing, either. It's a craven, cowardly, despicable choice. But it preserves career options. MAGA celebrities bubble up, get too close to the sun, and melt. Remember when MTG was on the short list of names people were floating from Trump's veep pick? She was by visible evidence utterly irrelevant to the process this time around and the incoming speaker has zero reason to favor her. Her days of getting to sit in the borrowed chair and bang the gavel are probably done.
