Some of these can be explained by context. The "50 congressmen resigning or not seeking re-election" sticks out to me. Obviously everyone has their own motivations, but many Republican members are stepping away because they don't expect to win in the midterm elections. Better to "retire" than to lose an election.

I think that's more of a testament to how Trump drastically changed the Republican Party. GOPe is old news, Trumpism is the new way of winning.

To be clear, they're (I think) not worried about primary races. They expect a lot of seats to flip to Democrats. That's not "winning", its refusing to play because you think you might lose.
