Over 100 Republicans Threaten To Form New Party
Quote
The day after Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) was removed from House GOP leadership, more than 100 influential Republicans released a call for reforms within the party and threatened to form their own if the GOP doesn't change. NBC's Garrett Haake, Politico's Eugene Daniels, and one of those Republicans — former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman — joined Stephanie Ruhle to discuss the group's efforts. Plus, Jon Meacham places the current GOP divide in historical context.

Trump's Push To Punish ‘Disloyal’ Republicans Is NOT Going Well
Quote
Donald Trump has been pushing, promoting, and endorsing Republican candidates to primary the incumbents who voted to impeach him earlier this year, and so far things are not going the way that Trump had wanted. These candidates are struggling to gain any ground in the polling, and this means that they are lagging way behind in fundraising. Republicans need to take notice of what is happening and use it to purge Trump from their party, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

In 2016, I joined over 70 Republicans who urged the RNC to cut support for Trump, a group that would be labeled #NeverTrump Republicans. Throughout the Trump presidency this group saw how the party failed to stand up to the immoral, and, according to many legal experts, illegal activities of Trump while he was in office. On January 5, 2021, after it was clear that the GOP was going to stand by Trump in defeat, I made the decision to leave the Republican Party and become an independent.
[...]
The events of the January 6 insurrection played a key role in supporting McAulliffe. Youngkin has made "election integrity" a key component of his campaign, even creating a task force with membership cards.

In fact, one of Youngkin's key earlier supporters and prominent surrogate Delegate John McGuire admitted to being at the January 6th rally (though he denies going into the Capitol). Additionally, Youngkin has even embraced and campaigned with State Senator and Trump wanna-be Amanda Chase, who not only was present at the January 6th rally, but also attended the election "cyber symposium" put on by Mike "My Pillow" Lindell.


It is pathetic that Youngkin openly embraces people that sought to overturn the vote of not just the American people, but more importantly the very people that he wants to represent as Governor.

The next governor will appoint members to the State Board of Elections and also the Commissioner of the Department of Elections.

I guess red anti-Trumpists should have tried harder in Virginia.

“We’re at an Unbelievably Dangerous Time in America”: Former Bush Guy Matthew Dowd Is Trying to Turn Texas Blue
[...]
Democrats have not won a major statewide office in more than 20 years. So maybe what the party needs to knock off an incumbent Republican is…a guy who used to be a Republican?

That’s part of Matthew Dowd’s theory, anyway. As a political operative, Dowd was an adviser to George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign, then moved up to become the chief strategist for the 2004 Bush-Cheney reelection run. Now Dowd has become an improbable candidate in the Texas Democratic Party’s lieutenant governor primary, aiming to take on Republican Dan Patrick. “Yeah, it’s not as if I don’t know how unpleasant the life of a candidate can be,” Dowd says with a laugh. “But we’re at an unbelievably dangerous and crucial time in America, in the unfolding of January 6 and how the GOP has refused to hold anybody accountable for the greatest threat to our democracy since the opening shots of the Civil War. And watching what’s happening with GOP politicians in Texas, from COVID and the electric grid failure to women’s rights getting taken away and crazy gun laws, I just kept asking myself, ‘What more can I do?’”

Dowd’s disenchantment with the party is not new: He split with Bush, loudly and publicly, in 2007 over the handling of the Iraq war. He spent most of the next decade as an Independent, consultant, and TV commentator, before becoming a Democrat—a return to the party where he’d started in the ’80s, before joining forces with Bush.
[...]
“It’s kind of like a man-bites-dog-story: George W. Bush’s campaign manager running for Texas L.G. as a Democrat,” says Sean Clegg, a senior adviser on California governor Gavin Newsom’s successful recall campaign and on Kamala Harris’s 2020 presidential campaign. “Texas is moving demographically, but it’s culturally hard to win as a Democrat there. Sometimes you need shock troops to make progress.”

It's concerning that most of the high-energy "shock troops" against Trumpist Republicans (e.g. Lincoln Project) are non-Trumpist Republicans, rather than leftists...

I don't even think the left could fight it's way out of a wet paper-bag at this point!?

If a "two-party" western democracy system is really your thing and you think it's the best thing that's ever happened to civilization you would atleast think you'd put in the work to make sure both of your parties stay healthy, I would have thought?
