Former President Donald J. Trump elicited unprecedented loyalty from his base and also maintained a tight grip on many in the GOP. Some Republicans hope that with Trump out of office, his grip on Republican voters will loosen. Others are urging the Republican Party to convict and denounce Trump entirely. Is it possible that Trump has sown a rift in the Republican party deep enough that the party itself may fracture? Sarah Longwell, Republican strategist and former Board Chair of the Log Cabin Republicans, and Tim Miller, former spokesperson for Jeb Bush's presidential campaign, discuss.
