What is the future of the Republican Party?

It will probably take her that long to get over her butt hurt from being booted from leadership and her anti Trump infatuation and get back to messaging GOP priorities.  She might also become more like able.  
 

but it’s also a big compromise on my part for the Liz fan clubbers.  I’m extending an olive branch.

I take it being anti Trump is a bad thing in your mind.  He is the leader of they party.  So, why wouldn't she be able to vocalize her displeasure with his infatuation with the Big Lie?

She's an "old guard" Republican out of touch with today's GOP.  You can tell she had no support of the previous administration that is loved by the new GOP by the way she voted lock step with Trump!  Oh wait.....

She made the mistake of "calling a spade a spade" and urging the party to move on from said "spade".  Something @Archy1221 said he agree with a few moments ago in another thread.

Yeah...it's odd.  People like @Archy1221 claim the party needs to move on from 2020 and the Big Lie but, when a political leader says the same thing, they are a "problem" that needs to be gotten rid of.

Maybe....just maybe....the GOP can't further their agenda because THEY are infatuated with 2020 election and Trump.  Just a thought.

Another one who likes to gaslight what I said and agree with.  
 

so the difference is that is all she talks about.  She is no longer a mouthpiece for promoting an agenda.  I assumed you knew that.  No one kicked out Liz from leadership after she voted to impeach Trump.  It only happened when it was apparent she can’t move on.

So we don’t agree.  That’s what I figured.

She refused to “move on” from the GOP looking like idiots because they refused to “move on”.

So just to clarify:

Republicans lost the 2020 Presidential election. The only conversation now is HOW to move on. Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Nikki Haley, Kevin McCarthy, Liz Cheney and Archy 1221 all agree that the election was fair, Trump claiming fraud wasn't helping the party, and it was time for the GOP to move forward without him. 

Then comes immediate blowback from the base: it actually isn't about the agenda, it's about Donald Trump, and anyone openly disloyal to him risks losing their votes. The death threats just add a little spice to the fractionalism. 

So while it appears even more clear that Trump is not going away, that his cult of personality actually IS the agenda, and that anyone who prefers the GOP that Archy 1221 pines for is suspect, the real trouble-maker is Liz Cheney. Even if she was right, Liz needed to shut up and move on.

Right?
