Into Democrats and flip the Senate - or at least Independents that caucus with the Democrats.
Maybe even, gulp, Marco Rubio (either Paul or Rubio).
I know it sounds insane - the Hail Mary of all Hail Marys - but each of these guys hates Trump about as much as we do...
If they can be persuaded that the Republican Party is no more - that it is now THE PARTY OF TRUMP - who is partnered with the arch enemy of America - Vladimir Putin's Russia - well, why the hell wouldn't they bolt to try to STOP TRUMP? I think it's possible. (Graham has an election in 2 years - right? But he probably hates Trump the most - and he just may be able to survive that.)
I don't like any of these guys politically - but I do think that each of them believe that they have been trying to do what's best for America.
Anyone agree? If so, how do we give such a "campaign" some kind of subtle nudge? Perhaps contacting Democratic Senators - floating the idea their way that they should consider courting these guys? Perhaps they already are. Even still, hearing their constituents seconding the idea might entice them to consider it more seriously?
