"My sense is trying to take over the GOP from within is doomed from the start."

It is NOT doomed.

Consider the flipside of this -- if CA, WA, OR, CT, RI and other blue states have underperforming GOPs, what better reason to take over from within?

Again, I take pains to point out (because, seriously, these threads are a pain), that Trump has a FAT STACK of GOP IOUs. IOUs from Congresscritters that are all still going to be around in 2024.

Man I’d really like to share your optimism. But I’ve seen too many bright eyed young bucks assimilated in to the collective. All the way back to 1994.
