I think that the only way to heal the right is to have a plurality of republicans, like the former mayor referenced in today’s column, stand up. Even then, the party is just so thoroughly rotted out that I’m not sure it can recover.

Honestly, I don't think the Party of Lincoln is salvageable. It is now the Cult of the Orange and will remain so, whether he retains control of the party or not. Arguably, this should have happened sooner, but the movement conservatives had managed to effectively suppress the nationalist, isolationists, and to a lesser extent bigots' for so long but Trump broke their sway so thoroughly that even people like Rubio are now in essence Trumpets. We need a loyal opposition party, but until Romney, and Cheney, and Sasse, and similar break with the current party, that won't happen
