Not really, no. The idea that Trump changed his party to prey on dumb republicans is funny but it’s not based in reality. If you show me 1 candidate who changed parties just to win (Lieberman maybe, but even that’s a stretch), I can give you 5 who changed for other reasons (including Trump). Not sure what you mean about McCarthy.
