True, but the extreme loons don't give a damn about the "brand." They want blood.
And how much influence did the "power brokers" (think democrat US senators) have during the Biden years? None! They fell in line with whatever the moonbat White House staff told them was the Party line, no matter how extreme, no matter how unpopular with the American electorate.
I might be wrong, because the loons aren't infesting the White House now, but I see the legacy "power brokers" as still taking orders from the loons.
And they're thinking about a new fun fact: if they side with the Republicans on anything, a loon will show up at their house with a gun!
