As a Republican he had a well oiled, highly experienced electoral machine behind him in 2016 and 2020. As an independent or another party it'd be interesting to see which, if any, Republican strategists would defect to him. If his election team would end up as incompetent as his legal team then it wouldn't bode well.

I mean, legal wants to get paid. Giving the best legal advice in an absolutely doomed campaign your client insisted on waging is probably a net positive for them, as prospective clients will think "We can depend on them to stick by us, instead of abandoning us if the ship starts sinking".

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Legal teams also consider their reputations. Taking on unwinnable cases and putting mentally ill people on the stand to testify as key witnesses in hearings that would be broadcast around the world isn't really going to do you much good with future clients.

Less than 5 minutes of vetting would have let them know that putting Melissa Carone up as a 'star witness', let alone any kind of witness, would be a terrible idea.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) announced no disciplinary actions against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in a statement released as he met with his caucus.
During the meeting, he told members he did not want to remove Greene from her committee assignment, according to a senior GOP source in the room.
In the statement, McCarthy condemned her incendiary remarks, but offered no disciplinary actions.
“Past comments from and endorsed by Marjorie Taylor Greene on school shootings, political violence, and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories do not represent the values or beliefs of the House Republican Conference," the statement read. "I condemn those comments unequivocally. I condemned them in the past. I continue to condemn them today. This House condemned QAnon last Congress and continues to do so today.” -snip
They had a completely different view when it came to Al Franken and his tasteless shitty photos, which no, were not akin to "rape".
The party identifies with the past, and in simplest terms, time does not favor those who resist change. That which does not adapt does not survive. But they're trying to, by desperately embracing the formerly untapped power of the Hate Demographic: the frightened, noisy residue of a Vanilla Male Hegemony, itself a withering relic of the past.
God Bless the true Republicans like Mitt Romney. I still may never vote for him because of his policies, but at least he -- and others -- have shown the strength of character, the courage, to do the right thing.

The Republican party is full of absolute clowns. Classless idiots who do not care about people at all. They think people are ****ing stupid and are spoon-feeding them conspiracy nonsense.
Liz Cheney survived the Trump-Republican lead move to stripe her of her position last night. She will retain her House Republican Conference Chair, the 3rd highest position in the House for her party.
This was pure retaliation because she was one of the few Republicans to vote yes on impeaching Trump.
Allies of former President Trump say he’s determined to make life miserable for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
Trump’s political machine, which has $60 million in a super PAC and an unmatched grass-roots fundraising apparatus, is vowing to go aggressively after GOP lawmakers in primaries in the wake of an unprecedented feud between the nation’s two most powerful Republicans.
Trump was prepared to give McConnell a pass, sources in his orbit stated, after he gave a blistering post-impeachment floor speech saying the former president was “practically and morally” responsible for the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol that led to five deaths and the evacuation of Congress.
But McConnell’s follow-up op-ed knocking Trump in The Wall Street Journal was the final straw, provoking a blistering response in which the former president insulted McConnell and his family and threatened to back primary challengers against GOP incumbents. -snip
