you're right of course, I think part of it is illustrated when you see how many of the rest of these folks changed their tune about trump in 2016 when it was clear he could bring his supporters on board. Some of those original opinions of trump were not favorable and he only turned the tide of "opinion" when the voters showed up, putting in quotes because some of that tide turning seemed shallow and opportunistic, like "better on the trump train than under its wheels."
