After quoting a Wall Street Journal op-ed entitled, “Purging Liz Cheney,” co-host Mika Brzezinski accused Trump of taking the GOP “hostage.”

I really wish they would explain the mechanics of this.

How does Trump take the GOP “hostage”?

Are they claiming that Trump the politician is popular and has followers and is influential? Is that bad? Are only Progressive Democrat politicians supposed to do that?

Trump has nothing to do with it. He is just the voice of the people.

The way you get someone out of a job is to make them useless. You appoint someone else to hold the meetings and make the decisions. The people who still want to play will take direction from the new person while the old person may have the title but no longer has the function. Liz calls a meeting and nobody shows. Person B calls a meeting and has most of the main players there. The takeover is complete. Generally, when I’ve seen this play out in companies the first person retires for health reasons.

‘Morning Joe’: Trump Has Taken the GOP ‘Hostage’ — Liz Cheney the Unwanted ‘Rescuer’ 95% or more repub voters are with Trump so you can hardly call it a hostage situation and Cheney is just trying to "rescue" the 5% of the repub backstabbers, most of whom are pols.

Nope. Trump has taken bush league war mongers out of commission. The name of their little powerful political party should be war mongers. Cheney is failed Party leader. She’s out. She can go fist bump Biden out in public now she’s one of them.

Joe Scarborough has not a clue nor do his audience.

“The House Republican Conference is the party caucus for Republicans in the United States House of Representatives. It hosts meetings and is the primary forum for communicating the party’s message to members. The Conference produces a daily publication of political analysis under the title Legislative Digest.

“The conference has a chair who directs day-to-day operations and who is assisted by an elected vice chair and a secretary. The current chair is Liz Cheney of Wyoming, who assumed the position in 2019.[5] Former chairs include Gerald Ford, John Boehner, Mike Pence, John B. Anderson, Dick Cheney, Jack Kemp, J. C. Watts, Deborah D. Pryce, Adam Putnam, Jeb Hensarling, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers.”
