Well Trump...he made them feel good about something obviously.
Most political parties would forget about a losing candidate and find another for the Next Time.
But not the GOP.
I think the GOP knows a lot of people are utterly fed up with politicains and their monoparty where they all bullshit and nothing ever changes.
A lot of people likewise feel better with business as usual.
Donald Trump may have had some good or decent ideas, but that didn't make him a great leader or president.
He lacked experience, the know how and ability to implement many of them.
He was good on issue abrupt orders like a company president, but got stuck in the mud when his proposals had to face legislative obstacles that were subject to gridlock.
