Sarah Longwell Wants to Help Republicans Quit Donald Trump
Time ^ | 1/18/24 | Charlotte Alter

Posted on 01/19/2024 5:43:33 AM PST by cotton1706

Sarah Longwell is one of the most powerful anti-Trump Republican strategists in the country. As a lifelong conservative, she’s seen firsthand how the GOP has transformed over the last 20 years.

Longwell is the publisher of The Bulwark, an anti-Trump conservative news and opinion website. She was also the first female national board chair of the Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP group representing LGBTQ conservatives. And she helped launch America’s foremost coalition of anti-Trump Republicans, called Defending Democracy Together. That’s the group behind initiatives like Republican Voters Against Trump and Republicans for the Rule of Law.

Last week, we heard from journalist Tim Alberta about why white evangelical Christians have so thoroughly embraced Trumpism. And my conversation this week with Longwell is the second of two episodes we’re releasing this month about the forces shaping the modern GOP.

I spoke with Longwell shortly before the Iowa Caucuses, which Trump won with a decisive margin. Ron DeSantis came in second and Nikki Haley finished third, blunting her momentum going into the New Hampshire primary. That means Trump now seems likely to crush the rest of his Republican primary opponents and face President Biden again in the general election – which leaves many Americans wondering: why do so many voters still support the former President, even after the January 6 insurrection and his growing list of criminal charges?

Sarah Longwell can really break down what’s going on here; she’s hosted countless focus groups with Trump voters and other hardcore conservatives to get a sense of why her fellow Republicans remain so loyal to Trump. And as the 2024 election season gets underway, Longwell is the perfect person to help us understand the attitudes of the typical Republican voter— and how she’s trying to change them.

They spend SO much time trying to "understand."

How about reading a little history.

If you're on the side of the Democrats more than on the side of conservatives, we see through you and don't want you and utterly reject you.

Take a look at George Bush, Bob Dole, George Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, that is loser, loser, bare winner, loser, loser, loser.

Trump - winner (example, Ohio by 9 points vs. W's bare win)

Understand??

Sarah and her ilk should start their own party and give it its true name: “The Neo-Feudalist Party”.

Sarah Longwell is a leader of faggotry ... She should love Mr. Trump: he has a history of pandering to faggots. There’s a lesson for him, here, if he cares to learn it.

So she’s a lesbian who’s afraid we’re losing our “democracy”? And this article purports that she’s deeply conservative? What am I missing here?

“What am I missing here?”

Nothing. You’re missing nothing. She’ll vote for the Democrat in November.

And no deeply conservative person would vote for the Democrat.

She probably considers herself a John McCain conservative, and we know just how conservative that type of ‘Republican’ is.

I’ve been a life-long conservative myself and have never heard of her. What songs does she sing?

“As a lifelong conservative”

Bull.

She’s the liberal media’s (CNN, MSNBC, etc) usual go to republican because she can be counted on bashing fellow Republicans, trump, and republican ideas. She’s pro abortion and pro gun control. She’s about as conservative as the “republican” harpies on The View. She’s made financial contributions to Democrat candidates, including to Biden in 2020. The Republicans she has donated to are the likes of Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Murkowski, etc. She was in favor of impeaching Trump.

I’m a conservative. I have no idea what she is, but I know she’s no conservative. Let alone a lifelong one.

Sarah Longwell is a homosexual who’s primary agenda is legalizing adult/child sex. That is the prime directive of Log Cabin members.

Do not forget the name of this filthy depraved homosexual: Sarah Longwell.

There is going to be an appointment made for this individual at Gitmo, along with all the other scumbag leftist (Charlotte Alter) at Time. /spit

"She was also the first female national board chair of the Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP group representing LGBTQ conservatives."

So, is she now, and has she always been, female?

I have never heard of this “powerful” Republican, probably because she is another attention seeking Liz Cheney Democrat in sheep’s clothing

I have noticed a clear escalation in the MSM’s war on Trump. It is all hands on deck now with them. Destroying Trump is a 24/7 obsession now. It was always bad but stopping Trump is not the main now it is the only thing. Anything that can be use as a negative against Trump gets top priority.
