Republicans who have refused to bend to Trump insist the GOP can be rebuilt – but if he wins, all bets are off

The former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney “hopes to be able to rebuild” the Republican party after Donald Trump leaves the political stage. Mitt Romney, the retiring Utah senator and former presidential nominee, reportedly hopes so too.

Among other prominent Republicans who refuse to bow the knee, the former Maryland governor Larry Hogan is running for a US Senate seat in a party led by Trump but insists he can be part of a post-Trump GOP.

Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chair turned MSNBC host, advocated more dramatic action: “We have to blow this crazy-ass party up and have it regain its senses, or something else will be born out of it. There are only two options here. Hogan will be a key player in whatever happens. Liz Cheney, [former congressmen] Adam Kinzinger and Joe Walsh – all of us who have been pushed aside and fortunately were not infected with Maga, we will have something to say about what happens on 6 November.”

    You literally wrote “I wan to move more right than trump who I find too centrist.”

    What the fuck does that mean? What could it possibly mean, to be more right than The Idiot, when The Idiot is a naked fascist?

      fascism is a very different thing from what I want. That you seem to think it is the only option suggests you know nothing about how people ‘on the right’ think.
