What is the future of the Republican Party?

One can agree or disagree with Liz Cheney's politics but I respect her for putting our democracy above the cult of horrible personality that is Trumpism today. 

In fact if the Republican Party had take the fork in the road months ago that Cheney went down they might have regained some credibility and brought back some centrists and ethical conservatives who have left.

Which is more proof that this is all about her criticism of Dear Leader and not policy issues.

Not better than Trump and people like Gaetz and Greene?   :laughpound

Trump has an influence for sure in the party, Gaetz and Greene do not which you know.  They have influence with a subset of voters.  
 

You would most likely be happy I guess going back to days of nation building and war mongering since that’s who you want back in charge.  :bang

It's not that I want Neo-Cons back in charge. I don't want to get into endless budget breaking wars. The issue is she is being ousted for not being loyal to a figure head, not conservative ideals. And that's the danger in it all. 

 
To be clear, I am not wishing this upon him but merely stating an observation. In my opinion, at this point, Trump succumbing to old age and the fate that non of us can escape is likely the only thing that could change the current course of the Republican party. I do not believe that even conviction and jail sentences would lessen his control over the right wing at this point, as they will all be convinced its the deep state out to get him. A non-natural death, would also make him a martyr and further galvanize his core (though the infighting among lieutenants would still threaten to destroy the coalition." Really is crazy to think the party that called for term limits under FDR is so tied to this one man.  

 
Related tweet.  This is what the party has come to.  For all of the GOP angst  at the election of "The Tribe" by Dems few years back, the GOP has proven to be more than equal in electing far right radicals.  At least I don't fear the Tribe of trying to destroy our country.  The Tribe didn't ignite an insurrection but these on the radical right want to believe a lie about the election and support those who attacked our capital.  Cawthorn is an example of a low political IQ, low history IQ politician who slithers into congress by preying on the voter's deepest fears and wild imaginations - fears and imaginations that Trump & the far right have planted in voter's minds through their multiple self serving lies. 


 
OWN THE LIBS is their entire party platform. They can't even condemn a riot that killed cops because Trump incited it. Think about that, the people the fly f#&%ing "Blue Live's Matter" flags, condone the killing of cops if Trump is the one behind it. There is no value or respect in that. Cheney knows it, so she decided to step on to the right side of history. How hard is it to say, "I like a lot of  Trump's policies, but lies and riot he incited that killed our police, is inexcusable".  If the shoe was on the other foot, and Hilary incited riots that ended in officers getting killed, prior to Trump's inauguration - Tucker Carlsons head would have exploded and the party leadership on the right would be spending every waking minute talking about it, and trying to get everyone with a D next to their name who agreed with it, kicked out of politics AND THEY WOULD CORRECT TO DO THAT.
