    I assume the idea is that there’s a lot of republicans that dislike Trump but still feel a deep attachment to him via their allegiance to the Republic Party, so she’s running on a platform that these republicans can cling to so as to simultaneously vote against Trump but within their perceived moral obligations to the party.

    Hopefully that made sense, it was clearer in my head.

      No, you’re right, that’s exactly what they think. The issue is that those people largely don’t exist; they tried it with Biden in 2020 and it was still extremely close.
