“(2) Constitutional/conservative party that includes about the other half of Republicans.”
i read an interview with a Hill staffer who said half the Repub are Swamp from the start. And the half who start out ok get seriously compromised within a few years.
So I think 25 percent at most.
Would not surprise me. In fact think you are likely correct. Maybe I was being too optimistic.

They all get what’s known as Potomac Fever. Being in DC is a heady and intoxicating experience and most of them succumb to its “charms”. The ‘seat’ to represent the people quickly morphs into a self-serving career.
