I think this might be part of the battle inside the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), and the national Republican Party. I see bits of it at the meetings of the RPOF, and it can be on display there in proxy wars between the Trump and DeSantis presidential campaign supporters. Rumor has it that both Matt Gaetz and Florida Rep. Byron Donalds are running for Governor, and so I think the factions are lining up to make news (and hopefully also be sincere; Gaetz) and claim to be the 'rational' side (Donalds? my Rep. is one of these). So many of the players have so many connections and obligations inside politics, whether as an elected official, an elected official of their state Republican Party, a lobbyist, a PAC owner (often of multiple deceptively-named PACs), someone whose business offers services to politicians, etc., that it can be impossible to discern anyone's true interests in any action they take or words they speak.
I don't think that would change much, as the House and Senate, and the state parties, would still be full of either Dems or Republicans, with the same money-driven ecosystem.

Yes. One big bought and sold Uni-party. We need someone really smart to run as an Independent. . .
