House Republicans put off a vote on Rep. Elise Stefanik's bid to replace Liz Cheney as the No. 3 GOP leader amid pressure from right-wing lawmakers that she vouch for her conservative credentials.
-snip-
But Stefanik, an upstate New York lawmakers who came to Congress with a more centrist background and worked for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, has been facing blowback from conservative lawmakers who hold powerful sway in the GOP Conference.
Now, she is scheduled to meet Wednesday night with members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which will be seeking assurances.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.), a Trump loyalist, told reporters about the meeting following Cheney's ouster.
The confab comes after conservative GOP Rep. Chip Roy of Texas cast Stefanik's ascension as a risk to the party's mid-term goal of recapturing the House.
'We must avoid putting in charge Republicans who campaign as Republicans but then vote for and advance the Democrats' agenda once sworn in - that is, that we do not make the same mistakes we did in 2017,' he said.

I think they need to put this off permanently. Too much at stake for a RINO at the head of the party. We’ve come too far for this big mistake.
I love President Trump, but he seems to have a habit of surrounding himself with quislings.
uh yeah. no need to replace cheney. let’s retire mccarthy first. then the new gop house can choose officers.

That mean they will put a rino in and she’ll do. Keywords: ‘must avoid’ rather than the definitive ‘must not’
It is not necessary for her to be the best orthodox conservative in the house.
Conservative Orthodoxy has been thoroughly discredited.
Free trade, endless wars and open borders is all they have brought us.
Except surrender to the commies.
We want nationalists only. MAGA and the like.
America first.
Because conservatism without nationalism is like faith without works.
And completely useless for any purpose.
“Because conservatism without nationalism is like faith without works.”
That’s it in a nutshell. This is about globalism vs. nationalism. It was when Trump was elected, and still is.
She has one redeeming factor, and that is she believes there was voter fraud, and voted against certifying the election.
She’s from New York. No doubt she has RINO leanings.
The right wing Freedom Caucus got us Paul Ryan instead of Mccarthy as Speaker which was a disaster
What’s the difference between Susan Collins and Elise Stefanik?
Forced to? Well ya. Ok.
People don’t want leaders in their forcing them to put up with their leftist power mad, morally wimpy, blackmailed, framed, threatened caved in positions

Chip Roy is bonafide. Very pro Trump. Votes against both impeachments and voted against any anti-Trump measures the dems came up with. I hope he gets the spot but it seems only RINOs are allowed in most cases.
Only Cheap Labor Express stooges fully committed to turning the USA into North Mexico are allowed in leadership in the GOP.

TransRepublicans
They are still the majority of officeholders.
Assistant Democrats
She is lying and has a voting record among the lowest conservative ratings of any Republican in the House and even supported Trump less than Cheney, 80% to 79% of the time.
Stefanik has strong ties to Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Karl Rove and she was a GWB staffer. So I don’t trust her.
Huge blind spot.
