if somehow we get 51 seats, that he changes parties at some point. I think only if Trump wins a second term though. He's not going to switch for a year or two then watch a Dem President take over.

he's not changing just to be back in the minority in 2021 or with a Dem President. I think if the blue wave flounders THEN you might see him switch to I.

Yes, theres a place for him.
If we take the senate, we can stop Trump from seating any more wingnut judges, whether all of our senators meet your specifications or not.
