You are talking about Republicans, the Conservatives I know see a target rich environment in both.
There are already ineffectual suggestions to be read here (and there), basically saying “We’re better than that.”
Personally I think there’s a time and place to fight like the rules have been thrown out. For example, when you’re fighting Democrats who have long since dispensed with rules.
Those who insist on staying above the fray...may be looking for a reason to avoid the fray. As if the outcome won’t affect them.
