ah, by 'classic republicans' you mean those non-trumpers that abscond any responsibility for the current state of the GOP since the tea party appeared.
Sort of. Many/most of them retired and/or died. How many Reps retired since 2016 due to populist MAGA bull-excrement? I never voted for him, but I know Jeff Flake quit because he didn't recognize or identify with the values of the MAGA party. McCain died. Cheney was tossed out.
There are very few classic Reps left in office. It's just MAGA now, rebranded as "Republican".
I was still a Republican when the TEA party thing happened. I thought they were misguided. Then McCain lost the primary in 2000...it wasn't long after that that I realized the Party had evolved in a direction that didn't align with me. Now they aren't even on the same planet as me.
