The deep state Republicans are alive and well and doing what youd 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 Jays "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister" could have been written about them. In many ways, they found President Barack Obamas 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

a very weak ‘establishment’ or more correctly a hollow one populated by empty Brooks Brothers suits. Good riddance.
It’s the truth.
Georgie Will, Billy Christal, Paul Ryan, Mitt and the rest.
I don’t know who I despise more, the Dims or the anti-Trump Repubs.
I think it’s a tie.
You mean Pierre Delecto, the gift from Utah? They love him in Utah.
K. Parker, a virulent RINO anti-Trumper columnist had an op-ed in the San Antonio paper yesterday backing Biden and maintaining that Valerie Jarrett would be a perfect running mate.
These fake conservatives are surely exposing themselves. They are really just part of the Uniparty that wants to keep the legal (they write the laws) gravy train (corruption) going.
A friend told me to Make a list of their names. When The Purge comes, they go first
There are plenty of Bush League Republicans pretending to support the President while undermining him and his agenda daily.
Flimsey Grahamnesty is the poster child for that group.
this is a brilliant essay and analysis and i highly recommend FReepers actually read it instead of just the headline ...
“Newt is saying the GOP is useless”
he’s talking about the disgruntled remnants of the former GOPe/RINO GOP that Trump dismantled and then hijacked by appointing loyalists at all levels of the party apparatus as well as owning the party by being its chief fund-raiser ...
also take a page from the other side. Take names of these traitors and remember There will be many winnable races lost if these backstabbers run for office. I wrote in Herman Cain instead of voting Romney in 2012
Trump has endorsed many RINO/GOP for election and re-election.
They have undermined him every step of the way.
horseshit.
It almost sickens me that I have had to vote for some of these folks, but right now, the only way to stop the left is to vote Republican. It long ago ceased being about voting for the person and not the party. The next time the Dems get into power, they will push us so far down the road, there will be no turning back. Are you ready for lockdowns due to climate change emergencies?
“I wrote in Herman Cain instead of voting Romney in 2012”
you’re a better man than i was ...
We must keep the majority in the Senate, no matter how awful McConnell and so many RINO s are. I thought that the House was bad under Paul Ryan. I had no idea how much worse it would be under Pelosi. A sham impeachment even!
You have to like the democrats they fight for what they want..the GOP is useless...but were suposed to keep voting for them to keep the senate...were all fools
Why does his article say “good riddance?”
Thy aren’t going anywhere. Sorry Newt, you ARE deep state.
