100 Republicans threaten to split party over Trump
MSN ^ | 12 May 2021 | N/A

More than 100 Republican leaders are threatening to form a third party.

The group is threatening to split from the Republican Party because of Donald Trump’s stranglehold.

“I’m still a Republican, but I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth because of how quickly the party has divorced itself from truth and reason,” said Miles Taylor, a former Trump-era Department of Homeland Security official and an organiser of the campaign.

“I’m one of those in the group that feels very strongly that if we can’t get the Republican Party back to a rational party that supports free minds, I’m out and a lot of people are coming with me.”

All this comes as House Republican leaders prepare to oust Representative Liz Cheney from their ranks for her criticism of Trump’s election lies.

Cheney, daughter of Dick Cheney, is the third-ranked Republican.

This is OUR party! They should leave before we throw their asses out.

Let them start their own third party and fade into irrelevance!

“The group is threatening to split from the Republican Party because of Donald Trump’s stranglehold.”

Please do not express happiness within their hearing.

I am already afraid they will not do this.

The progressives in the GOP have been TransRepublicans all along, their R jersey camouflage has fooled many.

They are far more numerous than many suspect.

Rubio, Grahamnesty, Cornyn, Tillis, Hoeven, Cassidy, McConnell, Thune, Ernst, Scott, Scott, Boozman, Murkowsky, Wicker, Hyde-Smith, Shelby, Blunt, Sasse, Toomey, Rounds, Lankford, Portman, Burr, Lee, Capito, Barrasso, Collins and Romney are ALL Bush League Republicans.

They have been totally committed to the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico for 30 years.
ALL Bush League Republicans need to go.
If they believe the right thing to do is to abandon the rule of law and surrender our country by giving amnesty to illegal aliens, they are TransRepublicans.

TransRepublicans all, wearing R jerseys to fool people while being Assistant Democrats.

The Republican Party came into being as a radical party dedicated to the freedom of all men. It should remember whence it came. “Don’t go above your raisin’”
It came under the influence of the donor class in the 60s and 70s, then again in the 2000s.

It's a complete nothingburger. They might as well sign another purple cover of National Review (circ: 75,000 L0FL).

Ridge and Whitman are the only 2 names anyone would recognize, and they are washed-up relics of the Last Century.

Their soyboy 'leader' Miles looks almost exactly like Stinkin Linkin's John Weaver did 30 years ago when he was a toe-tapping dandy...

100. Wow. There are 74 million left. Those 100. They think they’re more important than the 74 million because they are elected politicians? They are less important because they wor FOR the 74 million plus the rest of their constituents.

They’ll be dismayed to figure out they’re in a good riddance situation. Trump did not take on this job to make friends, power and money. These people don’t get it.

We’ll battle the Dems and the Mini-Dems (ex GOP, now miserable moderate kissups to socialists).

Can you imagine them paying for Madison Square Garden and watching the thrilling, charismatic rock stars come on stage——Liz Cheney, Kasich,Jeb Bush, Susan Collins....) to an audience of 50 aides, 20 derelicts who wandered in to panhandle and the janitorial and security staff paid to stand around in the empty venue?

“Clap” says Jeb as the “crowd” heads for the exits.
