12. I think it will happen after the midterms.

I think (certainly I hope) the midterms won’t go well for Republicans. But until that point, Trump still wields enough sway with his followers to make things very difficult for anyone who speaks out against him. So a lot will stick in his camp and I believe a lot will lose because of that.

Then the chaos will be set loose within the Republicans. Trump will be doing and saying everything he can to pass the blame on why Republicans lost. But he will also be a completely lame duck both in his part and in general. The race for Republicans to rewrite their personal history and distance themselves from Trump will be on.
