New anti-Trump group of Republican leaders threatens to leave if GOP doesn't reform - (Popcorn)
Fox News ^ | May 13, 2021 | Paul Steinhauser

In the wake of conservative Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming's ouster from her House GOP leadership position, roughly 150 Republican or former Republican leaders who are opposed to former President Trump's continued strong grip over the GOP have signed a letter threatening to leave the party if it does not reform and return to its "founding American principles."

The group's statement of principles – titled a "Call for American Renewal" – was unveiled Thursday. It outlines 13 principles to guide a "rebirth of the American cause."

"We, therefore, declare our intent to catalyze an American renewal, and to either re-imagine a party dedicated to our founding ideals or else hasten the creation of such an alternative," the statement pledges.

The letter was spearheaded by former GOP intelligence policy strategist and 2016 independent candidate for president Evan McMullin and Miles Taylor, who served as chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration.

"I'm proud to stand with over 150 prominent Republicans and independents calling for the reform of the GOP and the creation of a new home for Americans left unrepresented by political extremism," McMullin tweeted Thursday morning.

In an interview with Fox News, he emphasized that "in the light of Liz Cheney's sacking from House leadership and the rise in extremism in the Republican Party, we collectively believe it's important to articulate an alternative principals-based vision for leadership of the party and of the country."

McMullin said his group's manifesto "contains a vision for our desired leadership of the party and the country and what we intend to use to unite, organize and mobilize disaffected voters who don't feel well represented by the two major parties."

He argued that in the wake of the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by right- wing...

They just outed themselves as first class losers. If they voted for Joe Biden they are in the baby killer category. We don’t need more judgement on the Republican Party from the Lord because of their ilk.

The Trump haters don’t like his personality but he stands for things that many agree with that a new party won’t be able to differentiate itself on conservative issues. They’ll be wimpy complainers stuck between the conservative and liberal sides.

Find primary opponents to beat them ! That expells them !

There’s no way to keep someone from calling themselves or registering as a Republican. Ameican political parties aren’t like the old Soviet Communist party they can’t control people to that level yet ! Remember David Dukes registered as a “Republican” and I think won a seat in the Lousiana legislature. Hypocritical yes but I doubt if Dukes worried much abut it.

Trump has a “grip”’on the GOP because he has higher in party approval than Ronald Reagan and got more votes than an incumbent in History (though there are more people now than any time in history). What’s the plan from never-Trumpers ? To go against what voters want? That’s a winning strategy

Oh man!!!!
Remember the tea party..
You know, the political movement that caught traction, only to be undermined by these very people?
Turnabout is fair play.
Let them get established, get some cash, and then...

Let the party begin!!!

I wish these anti-Trump people would specify the policies on which they disagree with Trump and show why his policies are worse than the Democrats’.
