Haley has been trying hard to reach these Republicans during her campaign, but her attempts have utterly failed before dropping out of the race. She only won in Vermont and DC. She mostly got trounced everywhere else.

If the election is as much of a disaster for them as it seems like it might be, this may lead to a schism of the party. Many Republicans are going along with the insanity because that's the populist direction. There are enough really stupid and bigoted people out there that they see it as the way to go. Far right, complete asshat territory. Dems are center right or left, depending on the policy.
Maybe there's room for these Lincoln Project minded guys on the center right, taking away from both parties.
