Today's GOP has no past, present, or future. It's just Trump.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : It's now the party of Trump and Trumpism, of political outsiders and rebels -- and the only price for entry is pledging one's fealty to the leader (not the party).
43% : But at this year's RNC, it's as if there was no Republican Party before Trump came along.
40% : Other than Trump, there's only one other living Republican ex-president: George W. Bush.
39% : Trump is, of course, the exact opposite.
37% : He's retiring from the Senate, in large measure because of his revulsion at the direction the party has taken since Trump won its presidential nod in 2016.
30% : Trump is an isolationist.
20% : Quayle has been out of the limelight for years; Cheney is the father of Liz Cheney, whom Trump despises for her role in co-chairing the House Jan. 6 committee, and, of course, on Jan. 6 Trump helped whip up a mob that threatened the life of Pence, his former vice president -- so it's probably best he didn't make the trip to Milwaukee.
7% : Trump, infamously, mocked McCain's time as a POW in Vietnam.
3% : (Of course, Trump hates him, too, as Romney was the only Republican who voted to convict at both of Trump's impeachment trials.)
