They still have a weekly pick-up truck rally for Trump in my town, flying Trump flags and driving up Main Street with folks lined up along the way cheering. Saying Trump lost the election is fighting words around here.

The leadership will try to sway their base from Trump, but a lot of die-hards are going to stay with him.
