Trump keeps winning rounds in GOP's civil war

He doesn't need a formal title, or even Twitter or Facebook.

Former President Donald Trump's message is getting out just fine without those forms of communication. Trump is continuing to rack up wins inside his party -- sometimes without even extending much effort in the battles.

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is again being forced to defend her position in House leadership, this time with fewer voices inside the GOP coming out to back her. Cheney's fist bump with President Joe Biden last week only adding a visual to efforts to bring another no-confidence vote this month on whether the highest-ranking congressional Republican to have supported Trump's impeachment should still hold the No. 3 job in the House.

On Saturday in Texas, perhaps the most competitive special House election of 2021 landed the Trump-endorsed candidate in the top spot heading for a runoff. Perhaps more tellingly, the only anti-Trump candidate finished ninth in an all-party primary; he garnered barely 2,500 votes, or just more than 3%, and trailed four Republicans as well as four Democrats.

On the same day in Utah, the only Republican to vote twice to convict Trump, Sen. Mitt Romney, was greeted by a raucous round of jeers at his home-state party's convention. Those boos will be remembered longer than the effort to censure him over his public breaks with Trump, which failed narrowly.

Romney was trying to tell his fellow Republicans about his policy differences with Biden when the boos forced him to pause.

"Aren't you embarrassed?" he asked the crowd.

That didn't require an answer. Nearly four months after Jan. 6, pro-Trump forces are energized about being just that -- with ramifications for Biden's governing agenda, and of course for the future of the Republican Party.

We’ve got the Globalist GOPe Swamp on the run! LOL

1st quarter, Trump’s pac raised more than the Democrats & GOP combined!

Starve them out of office by donating to Trump’s Conservative Pac rather than the GOP. Tired of seeing them support RINOs with our contributions!

His attitude reminds me of a wife beater that acts like the victim when the wife fights back.

One of the two schmucks running against her needs to step aside since the Wyoming legislature dropped the ball on remedy on their election laws.

In other words, a psychopath.

The mid terms should be interesting. President Trump is increasing the war chest to get rid of the RINOs, once and for all. One of his most significance accomplishments is to finally expose the truth about all of them. They are no longer allowed to hide in the wood work, but will be forced to defend their true beliefs, and in many cases, will lose. True transparency will be Donald Trump’s legacy..

The RINO Establishment is losing the power struggle with President Trump and everyone knows it.

We the voters, haven’t even had our chance to let the RINOs know what we think of their complicity in the steal yet. I can’t wait for 2022.
