Even if Donald Trump doesn’t become the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, he will have left his stamp on the GOP. His biggest legacy is the one he most steadfastly refuses to acknowledge, as it’s become his biggest headache. Mr. Trump isn’t at risk from any “RINOs.” He made sure of it.

The attacks are often false or misleading, and so it goes.
