Lulz, “Trump score”.I did some research on Sinema and she may not be what lefties want. According to 538, she voted with Trump over 60% of the time.

I literally, in real time, watched my visiting Mother-in-law pick a side based on the ads.

He’s that guy who is around a bunch of people when something funny is said and everyone laughs, except him. Then you tell him you’ll explain it later knowing full well you’re not going to explain it later.Huff is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. He finds humor everywhere.
Jeff Flake may have been openly critical of Trump but Trump could always count on his vote. Maybe pushing him out wasn't such a brilliant idea after all?
With Trump’s actions and comments dunking on some of the conservative candidates who lost because they weren’t team Trump, I think he’s increasing the potential number of swing voters as principled conservatives realize they’re not welcome in the current Republican Party.
Flake made a comment this week about somebody needing to challenge in the primaries next cycle. There are too many xenophobes and Trump lap dogs for anybody to beat trump in a Republican primary but it would be really interesting to see how a reasonable conservative candidate like Ben Sasse would do to get a measure of how divided the party really is.
A “ responsible conservative” would be crushed right now in this win at all cost political climate . If they some how did win the nomination the liberal candidate would crush them in the popular vote . IMHO

You mean like Amash and Rand Paul? Mike Lee? Flake was winning until his own party shifted, and he was on the more "responsible" side, too.
What "responsible conservative" got crushed in the popular?
I think you’re right, nobody is beating him in the primary. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think they would do better in a national election than you do.
What interests me is, say you could plot every voter on an x/y axis with up/down measuring a voter’s threshold for who they would vote for against trump and left/right being... well, left/right.
I’m interested in what the right side of that chart looks like. What percentage of the right would choose Trump over any other candidate, and what does the remainder look like? Basically, if the Republican Party told Trump and everybody who supports him over any other republican to gtfo, what’s left?
A primary challenge seems like the best way to measure that.
