Are Republicans Really Leaving in Droves?

Philip Bump: “The picture that we’re left with after all of this is a murky one, which is the point. It is certainly the case that the Republican Party is trying to figure out what it looks like with its putative head having been exiled from the White House. It is true that some Republicans are leaving the party but it is not clear that any significant or unusual number of them are.”

“There can be something cathartic for Trump’s opponents in the idea that he’s driven members of his party away. So far, that narrative seems to be a bit ahead of the data.”
