On "Liz Cheney"
Does Trump have a cult following? Sure. I voted for him twice, but it pains me to see people lift him up on a pedestal. He did far and away better than I thought and did a few things I'm thankful for, but he also screwed up royally a couple of times. But for a lot of conservatives, it's not about him. Never was. We needed someone - anyone- who'd throw a few punches for us, ugly as the form may be. It doesn't HAVE to be his party, but until the establishment becomes a little more proactive, particularly on social issues, it will so remain.What Republicans should do, I think, is get behind Ron Desantis, a guy with Trumpian instincts, but with more discipline, and one who has shown what can be done when you play a little offense. Last I checked, Cheney can't support him either, which tells me loads more than anything she did with the January 6th committee, and if that represents "principled" Republicans, then they're just in political denial.We can't just rely on the integrity of the old GOP. Maybe the D.C. machine would pollute any of us. Instead, we should rely on the leverage we have of constantly telling them we see what they're doing...or not doing.
