Washington Post columnist Megan McArdle pleaded with Republicans on Friday to have a "Dr. Phil moment" and get themselves out of their "dangerous" relationship with former President Donald Trump unless they want to commit "party suicide."
The column insisted that Trump has been "wrecking" the GOP for years with his "scandals" and "ego," and claimed that if the party continues to embrace him, the idea of a red wave in upcoming elections will end up "more like a ripple."
McArdle began her column with the premise that sensible Republicans have been secretly hoping Trump could have been kicked to the curb in 2016 but were unwilling to do the job themselves. "By mid-February 2016, it was clear that some kind of collective Republican action would be needed to keep Donald Trump from winning the nomination. Instead, everyone stood around hoping that someone else would do the job for them," she wrote.
Over the past six years, that same scenario has played out time and time again. She added, "This was an error they repeated many times in the ensuing years, keeping quiet about outrage after outrage, passing up two separate chances to remove him from power and ensure he could never run again."

Some things are really pretty simple.
The Washington Post is an outlet for CIA propaganda.
I was far better off when the Trump administration was running things and the world was too.
I want Trump back. MAGA is here to stay.
OK, so the Jan 6 inquisition, the fbi raid, the nazi heil biden speech were all done to get rid of Trump.
All the more reason to support Trump!
Trump is the only person who can bring the USA out of its path to disaster and for that matter the World.
Yep, I am more on Trump’s side with every stunt they try to pull.
Substitute the word Democrats and name Clinton in her article. It’s all about Democrat project.
You can smell the fear of the demedia.
We deplorables are at the gates.
“Otherwise, “there’s a good chance that Trump will split the party, either running as an independent, or encouraging his voters to stay home,” she wrote”
Does this twit even realize she just confirmed how powerful Trump is?
Megan.....is a fecking KAREN!!!!
The question is “why do you care lady?”
You should be glad that Trump is still around and making GOP lose Right?
Trump will win a third time. Riddle me this: Why do Rep candidates beg for the Trump endorsement if he is such a pariah?
For 6 years you scum have tried to remove him and here is … more popular than the liberal media. Still not found guilty of a single thing…. After 6 years. Once he shows everyone these crossfire docs you’ll be the ones admitting he was right. But you won’t.
Dr. Phil is a cartoon walrus! Who listens to Dr. Walrus?
Notice nothing about the fact that Trump is the only president in forever that did/tried to do what he promised and how any of this and the GOP affects the people. If that is destroying the GOP I’ll take it.
Mitch could have wrote this.
It sounds like the media is worried about the Deep State.
It is certainly generous of the democrat wanting to save the Republican party.
And I should listen to a far left extremist and pedo supporter ..why?
Fox News promoting their Trump hating Democrat line. Of course.
Yeah among all the stupidity in this column using Dr Phil as a reference was another bone head play.
My wife watches that show unfortunately and by extention so do I occasionally.
One thing I never hear as a solution to any problem is a relationship with Jesus.....which tells me it’s a completely secular show.
Another thing.....only on very rare occasions does he have black people on.....always White screwed up people......since she discovered him, thats the Oprah influence I strongly suspect.....”White people bad”.
