I think it'll be soon that a lot of them will have to party switch to stay in office
I doubt that will work. The lefties aren't going to vote for them just because they took off the Republican skin suit and they would lose the GOP voters they're still managing to con. It's the same reason Manchin never switched parties in an attempt to stay politically viable. He would have gotten slaughtered in the Republican primary.
I don't know, McCain successfully managed to become a hero to most of the Left by simply opposing Trump, even if he didn't party swap he acted as if he did. If they sell it as "I can't be part of this fascism!" they'd almost certainly get a huge amount of Leftie supporters in certain states.
No, but the point is that he was able to successfully swap his supporter base from the Right to the Left by saying "orange man bad." I think many RINOs will be eyeing that shortly in certain areas.

McCancer didn't use that trick for long, though. Didn't have to run for reelection after using it either.
