The debate on FR has been whether patriots should fight to complete the taking of the GOP from the RINOs, or leave it for dead and form our own party. Wouldn't it be great if the RINOs left instead?

Just as long as the logo is a lion, I’m in.

[ifinnegan]

Wasn’t he Clinton’s super-RINO Defense Secretary?

[Prince of Space]

Was he this upset when Sen. Boxer objected to Bush’s reelection in 2005? Or is it just appalling when a Republican objects?

[rintintin]

Cohen supported George Bush’s invasion of Iraq, which led to the deaths of half a million people and the near wipeout of the country’s Christians, and the war is still going on with a cost now running past $3 trillion.

Trump has started no wars.

But Cohen finds Trump deplorable. What a tool.

[MarvinStinson]

“more centrist Republicans such as Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Susan Collins (Maine)”

That’s a winner.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

Me too!! Lion PERFECT logo!!!

[central_va]

So you agree with Cohen??? You are a RINO lover????

[MarvinStinson]

William Cohen, a former Republican senator from Maine and Defense secretary under former President Clinton

Something doesn't add up here.

[max americana]

Lion? hmm you may have something there.

[MarvinStinson]

“For Trump it is pathological, for those who are jumping up to support him, it’s diabolical.”

Not much demagogue here.

He worries about Trump but has no problem serving Bill who repeatedly visited Epstein Island and took tons of money from foreign governments.

3 stooges.....

[KarlInOhio]

Thursday interview in which he suggested the formation of a new political party.

I suggest the possum for the symbol of the Republicans No Longer Even In Name party. It might occasionally hiss, but it usually just ends up playing dead to its opposition.

And as for President Trump being the ringmaster, the problem is too many bitter clowns left over from before 2016.

[Kevmo]

Let’s call it the RINO party.

[central_va]

So you agree with Cohen the RINO?

[dfwgator]

Why should we leave, they’re the ones that suck.

[Clemenza]

William Cohen and Newt Gingrich: it is better to be a “has been” than a “never was.”

[Kevmo]

Good question. Let us call it an amicable divorce like what happened with the Whig party.

Where are they now? They are the RINO/Uniparty faction.
