The deep state Republicans are alive and well and doing what you’d expect them to be doing. They are living proof that President Donald Trump is a genuine change agent. The world he is changing is their world, and they hate him for it.
In the near future, these deep state Republicans will drop the pretense of still belonging to the Party of Abraham Lincoln and become Democrats. These are, after all, people who have grown deeply uncomfortable not just with President Trump but also with those Republicans (the vast majority) who are comfortable with President Trump (about 88 percent of the GOP). This is why they are now running ads against pro-Trump Republican Senators as well as against President Trump himself.
They find the prospect of a Biden-Pelosi-Schumer machine running America more acceptable than the possibility of a Trump-McConnell-McCarthy team being in charge of Washington.
The deep state Republicans are against Trumpism as much as they are against President Trump.
In a real sense, the revolt of the anti-Trump Republicans is further proof of just how different and disruptive the Trump candidacy and the Trump presidency have been.
Most of the anti-Trump Republicans come from elite schools and built their careers around being part of the elite. They valued the professorial intellectual approach. They believed in leaders relying on staff work because they had usually been the staff. Antony Jay’s "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" could have been written about them. In many ways, they found President Barack Obama’s professorial style comforting. They might have disagreed on policy, but they could agree on style.
The Trump candidacy was an enormous, rude shock to the deep state Republicans.
The deep state Republicans worked with and socialized with deep state Democrats. They were much more comfortable with deep state Democrats

There was a vulgarity about Trump’s appeal to working Americans. The kind of people who voted for Obama over Mitt Romney because they distrusted country club, boardroom executive Republicans proved to be the margin of victory in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Deep State Republicans knew you had to pretend to serve the people – but Trump actually liked the people. It was an unforgivable violation of class solidarity among the elites.
Trump’s entrepreneurial aggressiveness, risk-taking, and unwillingness to allow the establishment to staff and control him was a mortal threat to the entire life to which Deep State Republicans aspire. They saw themselves as the movers and shakers and saw elected officials as tools to be manipulated. Suddenly, there was a candidate – and then a president – who was too tough and self-directed for the staff to be at the center of things. It was a repudiation of everything for which they had spent their lives preparing.
Finally, there was a question of style. Deep State Republicans did not tweet. Deep State Republicans loathed President Trump’s tweets. Deep State Republicans cringed every day when the president went off on some topic which had not been vetted and edited by a Deep State Republican.
Trump took down all the establishment GOP on one stage. They are very afraid.
RINOs finally showing they are really leftist democrats. Good riddance.

Bye.
Losers!
Not at all. He is saying there is a significant number of professional Republicans, who are Progressives. They believe it is there duty to fool ordinary people in order to get done what *they* want done.
They are the ones who need to be purged from the Republican party.
This years events seem to imply that progressives are not opposed to initiating force against you because of what they think you think.
These people have sold their souls in the hope that societies decay and fall into violence-for-everyone will be slow and they will die relatively normally before the real Cultural Revolution fun starts in mass.
Correction: What they feel you think.
Pretty good article. I read the whole thing. Unfortunately, Newt does not name names.
It’s not like Romney really needs to be named explicitly.
>> Good riddance anti-Trump Republicans
Shovels required?
This deep state R group was immensely active in Colorado state house races this year. They brought in 2 million dollars in dark money (a lot coming from HRC mega donors) to win 4 solid R house primaries with Never Trumper RINO’s.
Amazingly, they won by accusing the conservative pro-trumpers of being never-trumpers. The obscene amount of money spent managed to deliver completely untrue and nasty stuff about the four pro-trump conservatives.
The result is that Colorado Never-Trumpers now control the Republican Caucus in the state house.
“RINOs finally showing they are really leftist democrats. Good riddance.”
RINOs finally showing that are really leftist democrat BABYKILLERS . . . I guess they don’t care about their FINAL ending.
If they help the Democrats win, they will cease to exist as a political party and this will be the United Democratic Socialist States.
I may have missed where Newt named those RINO’s.
A conflict is unfortunately inevitable. Freedom and Marxism can not exist together.
