New anti-Trump group of Republican leaders threatens to leave if GOP doesn't reform - (Popcorn)

In the wake of conservative Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming's ouster from her House GOP leadership position, roughly 150 Republican or former Republican leaders who are opposed to former President Trump's continued strong grip over the GOP have signed a letter threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its "founding American principles."

The group's statement of principles – titled a "Call for American Renewal" – was unveiled Thursday. It outlines 13 principles to guide a "rebirth of the American cause."

"We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either re-imagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative," the statement pledges.

The letter was spearheaded by former GOP intelligence policy strategist and 2016 independent candidate for president Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration.

"I'm proud to stand with over 150 prominent Republicans and independents calling for the reform of the GOP and the creation of a new home for Americans left unrepresented by political extremism," McMullin tweeted Thursday morning.

In an interview with Fox News, he emphasized that "in the light of Liz Cheney's sacking from House leadership and the rise in extremism in the Republican Party, we collectively believe it's important to articulate an alternative principals-based vision for leadership of the party and of the country."

McMullin said his group's manifesto "contains a vision for our desired leadership of the party and the country and what we intend to use to unite, organize and mobilize disaffected voters who don't feel well represented by the two major parties."

He argued that in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by right- wing...

What this collection of morons doesn’t realize is that the Marxist Leninist Stalinist opposition is not interested in creating coalitions or compromise or a dialogue; they want absolute power and will kill as many as necessary to get it. See the 20th century.

Like everything else connected to Washington, this is just about the money. The uniparty had everything set up and running pretty smoothly with regard to milking the system for themselves and their supporters. Trump comes along and starts telling the truth asking question that they didn’t want asked, and getting the American people to start paying attention to what’s really going on and it’s a total calamity for them. Some of the pretenders in the Republican party are now working to stay on some kind of gravy train (probably Soros’) as opposed to actually having to work at a real job in the private sector. Remember, it’s always about the money with these people.

They might as well hold their breath and stomp their feet!

Tantrums aren't cute in children. But they are insufferable in adults.

“threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its “founding American principles.”

And those principles are to lie to the base to get elected and then not fight for conservative ideals and principles.

We should all help them leave by voting those that are current office holders (like Cheney) out in their primaries. I know I’ll be doing that here in Wy.

The funny thing is, if you read the list, that’s exactly what Trump has been doing with his candidacy, presidency, and post-presidency. We know that some of the statements have a double-meaning, but they are Trump’s platform if read at face value.
