[Sorry, that is just never going to happen no matter who is elected.
Anyone with enough arrogance to run for office is going to do what they want to do and just assume that it is what the voter wants. ]
I see Trump as an indispensable figure for the GOP. He is the only man in the GOP who is prepared to follow rather than lead. The modern GOP is the party of elected aristocrats. They think they are elected to office to ram their policy preferences down their voters’ throats against their express wishes. Whereas Trump is the mirror image of the Democrats - he gives his voters what they want much as the Democrats give their voters what they want.
Republican voters’ relationship with their elected representatives should be like that between those voters and their building contractors. We should tell them what we want and they should produce results or get the hell out of the way. What they shouldn’t be telling us is that we’re racists for wanting to cut down on immigration or racists for saying that George Floyd had it coming. Trump truly is a breath of fresh air in that regard.
I agree but those that currently are leaders in the GOPe do not and ate filled with hate against the most successful GOP Presidential candidate since Reagan.
GOPe leaders like former Ohio Governor Kasich speak against Trump at every opportunity.
The GOPe leadership are Globalist and Freemarketers. They hate Trump for curbing illegal alien influx.
Kasich also hates Trump for beating him in the Presidential Primary even though he must realize that he would have lost the general. He could not have gendered the support from the non-aligned voters that Trump did. He is just too bland of a candidate.
People want a candidate that will fight for what they believe in. Kasich has proven as Ohio Governor that he does not believe in anything. The same goes for Romney and the other Republicans that lost to Trump.

Good in theory, but impossible in practice.
There are competing interest in the GOP. Such as the Globalist/Open Market GOP and the Populist/anti-illegal Immigration/Protectionist GOP.
The GOP Leadership is generally the Later. We here on FR are generally the former.
There is some real friction between the two factions and it hard to know who will win the day.
The GOPe side has the money and the Populist have the votes.
