Wishful thinking by the Wall Street Journal. Trump has permanently redefined and shifted the agenda of the Republican Party.

Just as Reagan marginalized the Rockefeller Republicans who came close to dominating the GOP, Trump has marginalized the neoconservatives. The Bushistas and Bill Kristol fans may dream of Liz Cheney riding in on a white horse to hit the rewind button back to 2002 for them, but it isn't going to happen.

60 million people voted for Trump. Somebody needs to break the news to Liz that there is no GOP without Trump voters.

“Or, do they have another agenda?“

Well, yes. They do.

>> Reeks of nepotism. How does a 2nd-term Representative become the 3rd ranked Representative? [short answer: Daddy.] <<

Yep, you nailed it. If her name was "Liz Smith", nobody would give a crap what the second term congresswoman from Wyoming has to say about anything, let alone consider her for a top job in the GOP leadership.

I'm glad to see 90% of the FReepers who backed this goofball and laughably tried to sell her as the "anti-establishment Tea Party candidate" now have buyer's remorse.

And it's also good to see she has a primary challenger, but now that she's an entrenched incumbent it will be a hell of a time trying to get rid of her.

She’s exactly what needs to be drummed out of the Republican Party.

Just keep her in that seat and don’t let her out of the room

And don’t let any Idaho Simpsons get elected.

If her name was Smith she wouldn’t be in Congress at all.

However, while no one else got it in the 2nd term, JC Watts made it to House Conference Chair in his third term, as did his predecessor, John Boehner.

Trump can anoint whoever he likes at the necessary time.

Like who?

His choices have not always be stellar...

That is a bit of an understatement.

Says all you need to know about the House GOP that this cretin spawn of cretin ranks third in their conference.

The GOP is waiting out the Trump era. The GOP will never change. It is RADICAL fringe party of globalists, small business, big ag, wall streeters and Free Traitors™. I estimate the total base constituency of the GOP to be less than 10 million, maybe even less than that. Sorry, but I call balls and strikes like I see them.

It's not that they are benignly ignoring the wage earning working class (150 million + voters). No, they are doing more than that, they are anti worker.

As you say, the number of Americans who actually like the Bush/neocon wing of the GOP is small, but as long as they were or are able to present themselves as the only electable alternative to liberal Democrats, most conservatives are willing to vote for them as the lesser of two evils.

No doubt they will still be around long after Trump leaves the White House, but I'm convinced that there will be nationalist, populist candidates in the mold of Trump to challenge Bush Republicans in the primaries, because Republican voters have come to expect that alternative.

I guess we'll find out if that's true in the 2024 election.

Sounds like a good candidate for a primary challenge from a conservative veteran.

The pool is not very deep or wide...in fact, it’s more like a swamp than a pool.
