If the Republican party dumps Trump, will moderate Dems who refute the radical leftists, who now control the DNC, & cross over to vote for the Pub candidate in '24?

Let's say the Republicans candidate is not a Trumpster...like Niki Haley (who says "Trump has no future role in the GOP"):

note: If the RNC dumps Trump, former Trump voters will still vote Republican imho. What are they going to do... vote for a radical leftist liberal Dem? Or, stay home and let the radical left continue their march towards socialism? No way...nearly all of them will vote Pub.

Depends on who the candidate is.

A moderate will always be better received in both parties because that's where the bulk of their members fall. Unfortunately in recent years both parties have allowed their fringes to be their mouthpiece and talking points. The GOP needs to allow freedom of speech again because now any member speaking outside the party line is publicly lambasted by their peers, AOC may be a left side extreme but her colleges are not lining up in lock-step to repeat her view.

Nike Haley is an impressive candidate and has demonstrated herself well on the world stage, far better than fearless leader or some of his protege's

I would consider her. She seems fairly balanced.

Haley/DeSantis or DeSantis/Haley is a nightmare scenario for the Dems. Even with furious propaganda by their PR firm (the mainstream media).

To be honest the Dem disarray is obvious and no telling who will be running for the Dems in 2024. Which (in pre-Biden days) would be an outrageous statement.

Can we agree she expresses herself far better than the current leader?

Haley was an ardent Trump loyalist at one time. Be careful of her. She may be putting on a show for Trump's benefit. At the last moment she'll show her true color: ORANGE.

This is tricky.

Trump had followers who had never registered to vote before he ran for president, and likely will never vote again if he's not the candidate.

Add to that, he's managed to convince a significant population of republicans that voting is pointless, and rigged, and their effort to get to the polls and cast their votes will be in vain.

But yes. If someone other than Trump runs on the republican ticket, there will be moderate democrats and libertarians who vote republican.
