The three faces of the Republican Party: The party seems to be suffering from what was once called multiple personality syndrome.

The 1957 film, The Three Faces of Eve, was about dissociative personality disorder, then known as multiple personality syndrome. It was a hard film based on an actual case of a woman who suffered from the condition.

It is not much of a leap to describe the Republican Party as currently constituted as suffering from the same malady. There are the true small-government, liberty-loving constitutionalists like Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Tom Cotton, Matt Gaetz, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley, Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise, Rand Paul, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ted Cruz, Louie Gohmert, and John Kennedy.

Then there are the squishes, who are afraid of their own shadows when it comes to fighting the Democrats — the elected officials who are there only to hold power, not to exercise it for their constituents. Those would be Kevin McCarthy and his go-along to get-along bunch, the Pelosi-ites like Rob Portman, Lindsey Graham who bends with the prevailing winds of the day. Most of the Republicans fall into this category.

Then there are the never-Trumpers: Mitch McConnell, Romney, Ben Sasse, Adam Kinzinger, Pat Toomey, John Katko, Jamie Beutler, Dan Newhouse, David Valadao, Peter Meijer, Tom Rice, Fred Upton, Anthony Gonzalez, Richard Burr, Susan Collins (of course), Bill Cassidy, and Lisa Murkowski, along with the execrable Liz Cheney, the left's new favorite congressperson.

No doubt about it, the Republican Party is suffering from multiple personality disorder.

Thanks to Donald Trump, we can all clearly see who among our officials actually represents the American people who elected them; which members of Congress are interested only in keeping their seats; and those who passively align themselves with the Democrats to push our republic into a version of communist China with a social credit system, struggle sessions, and mandatory submission to an all-powerful government

It’s one of the only conservative publications out there. They held up a mirror and proposed a solution.

Two kinds, real Republicans who believe in the Constitution and the rule of law and TransRepubicans who wear R jersey camouflage to fool people into thinking they are not Assistant Democrats assisting the Democrats to a permanent majority with open borders and amnesty.

Stefanik is in the second group, not the first.

Groups 2 & 3 can pretty much be lumped together. Neither group is truly working for their voters.

The two groups who do not represent the will of the people will soon find that they must either join with the Democrats, if they want to participate in their power dreams, or get out of politics altogether. In either case, Trump continues to serve the best path for America. His mere presence on the political scene will cause the political opportunists to self-purge.

Thanks to Donald Trump he proved it’s wiser to vote for someone for what they have done not what they say they will do.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking people posting a comment about an article you posted are replying directly to you.

I was replying to LIZ CHENEY in this article.
