    Because fundamentally at this point, to invoke the words of Hillary Clinton: What difference does it make? Can you get January 6th back? No. Did the voters reject Trump in November? Yes. Do you have faith they'll do so again? I don't see why they wouldn't.

    So the issue becomes, can the GOP articulate a different vision than Trump and you can't do that with a leader who has no interest in doing that, but instead "going against the big lie".

    I guess you don't see the contradiction in your statement right there. If the D party is more popular than the R party, but as you claim because they promise more but don't deliver, then WHY are they more popular?

    Emotionalism. Remember "We HAVE to defeat Donald Trump"(or honestly, insert any Republican here.). The Democrats are super effective(Pokemon terms) at appealing to people's heartstrings. It's too bad it doesn't result in any sort of governance.

    that was not a full deal for DACA, that was limited protections for 3 years

    "President Donald Trump offered limited protections for so-called Dreamer immigrants in exchange for $5.7 billion to build his proposed border wall."

    had to be full protections for DACA or no deal for something as big as his wall

    The GOP does not want a 'different vision' It wants money, and jobs for its members.
    The GOP no longer exists as a political party. It does not want to even change policy. This is a total empty vessel with only the exterior structure in tact. There isn't any overriding principles left on which to rebuild a political party. They have thrown every last one in the toilet. The GOP's only goal is to define specific demographic groups/ minorities both at home and abroad, as villains out to crush american society and institutions, cement the stereotyped groups through these conspiracy theories, then exploit the resulting fear, distrust and anger as motivators to rake in the dough . The vessel really exists to funnel the money and checks to the RNC and the Trump superpac and to funnel govt jobs and paid partisan positions to loyalists .

    Its just a politically themed Ponsi scheme now, with Trump as the chief marketing consultant and protector of the brand.

    Way I see it, limited protections could've eventually become full protections if the wall is there and the migration system is under control. But that was the hallmark of Pelosi's speakership tenure. Couldn't get anything done, had no concept of moving a needle to a goal and was/still is the most ineffective speaker of our times.

    Trump could have had his 25 Billion for his wall, but did not want to give in to DACA

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/me...o-gain-trump-ends-same-border-deal-he-n971466

    "So we went from Democrats once offering $25 billion for a border wall in exchange for protection for DACA recipients … to Dem leaders offering Trump $1.3 billion for border fencing … to a floated compromise of $2.5 billion during the shutdown … to a final deal of $1.375 billion for fencing."

    We're in a chicken or egg argument.

    Your points here are consistent, but that's not what I see happening. Cheney isn't saying abandon issues and focus on the Big Lie. She's saying, until the GOP tells everybody the truth, and stops acting like Trump is the party leader, THE GOP WILL NOT BE FOCUSSING ON ISSUES.

    You have it backwards. It's because of the GOP's blind loyalty to a loser ex-president that the GOP has no principles, no policies and no leader. Trump is the problem. Cheney is trying to tell her colleagues that, but at this point, I doubt she cares. She looks mean. I'd be scared if I were McCarthy.

    It's kind of tiring dealing with the historical revisionism. I must say you have some stamina. ;-)

    not good enough, if Trump really wanted the wall so bad, DACA was a easy trade

    plenty of people tried to work on bipartisan deals, the issue was Trump wanted to be the only winner, not the way it works in a divided Congress

    Liz is the one that keeps bringing that up and picking the scabs.

    Ergo, the RNC cannot move forward with someone who wants to nitpick the 2020 election as a main political platform position.

    This isn't rocket science. She has to go.

    Eventually like with many Historic things ... The Truth will out.
    Like How F.D.R. actually knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor up to
    a week before it happened.
    Now we see how _ Insurrection _ is defined.It was on
    Trumps watch.He inspired it.What a massive pile of pap.
    We had an entire summer of Protests where people and cops
    were severely injured and killed.Ordinary city dwellers punched out
    and beaten down.Fires set ablaze.Federal Bldgs. broke into.
    Yet not a word about any of it in the DNC Mid-August Convention.
    How many Mail-in ballots were counted and never verified as
    state laws require.Because the Left had state laws changed to accommodate
    Election fraud.So when you hear someone,even a Bill O'Reilly try and
    prove how the 2020 election was Not Stolen ... He's full of it.
    How many Ballots in 2020 would never have been sent out let alone
    considered { They always have a time stamp for being eligible }
    in every Previous election.Ballots were counted by the hundreds of thousands
    with Little scrutiny as to Verification of name and correct voter registration.
    Ballots were counted for days.Even after the counting was stopped in
    the dead of night.Election monitors were not being given viewable access
    to counting ... in many cases.In Georgia Suitcases full of ballots managed
    to get snuck in during the night when voting was halted.
    O'Reilly was saying the Election was fair because he wants to redeem his
    bad name.He got caught Harassing gals at Fox news and was forced to
    Leave the Building.Him and his Big Lug Body and Ego.
    Trump Won 2,497 Counties
    Biden won 477 Counties
    Barack Obama won 873 Counties in 2012.
    How in Hell did Biden win the Presidency in 2020.
    Trump won Florida,Ohio and Texas Early.
    Why did it take almost a week to decide Pennsylavania.
    And Michigan,Nevada.Because manifest Ballot Manipulation was
    going on.Insurrection was a Big Fraud.Not one Firearm was collected.
    Or Malatov Cocktail tossed.There was a person Murdered.It was
    a 14 year vet MAGA fan Ashli Babbett.She was murderded { never
    issued any warning about Halt or I'll shoot } Her Murderer is still being
    Unidentified.And Protected.
    That is how Democrats Do ya.

    Are you serious?

    The only party playing "emotionalism" is the Republicans!!! Fear, anger, and loathing is their stock and trade.

    See, that's your lie, which ignores the actual details of her removal.

    It is not her job to pick the candidate and that includes actively campaigning against a candidate.. That is an abuse of her powers as chairwoman.

    Look, President Trump may choose to run again (he has the right under the US Constitution), or he may choose not to. Even if he does run, it is questionable whether he would get the GOP nomination. If he chose to run as an independent then it is very likely that he will lose hands down. What he is doing right now is the same thing that AOC tried in 2020. He is endorsing candidate of Congressional and Senate runoffs. He is having some success at doing that. What Chaney should have been doing was bringing the RINO's and Trump supporters in some form of unity. But instead she chose to attack Trump Supporters, that underlined her past sins in terms of the GOP. She went along with the DNC in calling President Trump's challenge to the elections "the big lie". In my opinion, the jury is still out. The fact that the DNC is trying to rewrite the US Constitution and overhaul the national election process (that they claimed was infallible after the 2020 elections) underscores those questions. She also voted to impeach President Trump with out any hearings on the charges, without a ponderance of evidence and After the President had left office. With her past sins, the fact that she has chosen to alienate a substantial block of the GOP and her constant looking back to 2020 is the reason she was ousted.

    Can you be any more misguided than that??? She was removed because she didn't want the party to remain with the past, that is, Trump and his big lie that the election was stolen. How exactly do you manage to so badly misconstrue what happened? Unbelievable...

    you can call me a liar all you want, but if you had other details you would just post them, will you do that

    not supporting Trump's big lie is the #1 reason Cheney was removed

    Fear, anger, and loathing was the Democrats stock and trade from 2016-2020. There's not a conservative or independent who was spared that howling in the wind. It was as loud as Trump(and as we can see, it still is.)

    The Liz removal is simple: A lot of people moved on, and some people can't.

    It's the truth of what happened. If the GOP wanted to litigate "the big lie", they would've kept her as chairwoman. But they didn't, because they don't. Their goals are to get a competitive field out for 2024, not to care about what happened 5 1/2 months ago.

    If that's what you're telling yourself, there's nothing I can say that will make you see reality. So have a nice day.
