Never Trump Republicans want a new party. They're kidding themselves.

The Call for American Renewal is also hoping to recapture the support of women who have been fleeing the GOP since Trump's first campaign. That may be harder than they think, too. Though it's possible the group could restore some of the ground Trump lost to women, who went nearly 6-in-10 for Biden, Republicans have been losing women voters for years. In 2008, Barack Obama enjoyed a 7-point advantage among female voters. By 2012, that edge had grown to 10 points. Last year, Biden routed Trump among women by a jaw-dropping 15 points. While white women still vote more conservatively than their nonwhite peers, it's clear that women overall are shifting to the left and that there aren't enough of them up for grabs for a GOP offshoot to have real heft. A more moderate GOP incarnation would also be looking to peel off centrist Democrats alienated by Biden's turn left. There's just one problem: Most Americans see Biden as more moderate than Obama, and Republican attacks are failing to persuade voters that Biden is actually a secret radical socialist.
