I doubt either of you really believe that. If Romney/Kasich/Flake/Sasse runs as an independent in the 2020 presidential election, and President Trump loses by a small margin, everyone here will claim the backstabbing GOP establishment conspired with the Democrats and cost Trump the election because the uniparty preferred Biden as President over him. No one would stick to the “Romney/Kasich/Flake hurt Biden more” line in that scenario.
