A 2024 ticket of former Vice President Mike Pence and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney might just be the thing that saves the Republican Party and our republic. Since Donald Trump's descent on the golden escalator in 2015, there have been far too many missed offramps for Republican officials who did not want Trump to be the GOP presidential candidate in 2016. Next year might just be the last one of those offramps. A Pence-Cheney ticket would restore trust in America's democratic institutions and begin the strengthening of the political party structure within the GOP.
Debating whether Trump's popularity is waning within the party's voter base is futile. Trump's approval is not decreasing in any meaningful way and, for the purposes of this argument, it doesn't really matter. This is about party elites finally taking back control of their party from their radical constituents. Will they do it? Probably not because they're too afraid, but here's an assertion for how and why they should.
The Republican Party elites and party bosses missed their window to take Trump out in 2016. It's not that they didn't know what would happen. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina tweeted on May 3, 2016: "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it." Graham had the foresight to know what would happen if the Republican base voter took control of the party.
Republicans deserve to be taught a lesson and be punished electorally for putting party over country, but that doesn't seem likely. Many key statewide elections will undoubtedly go the GOP's way in key gubernatorial and secretary of state races. And many of those Republican winners may be untrustworthy with the keys to our democracy.

And Luttig is also Ted Cruz's favorite judge.
I don’t have to read the article to know what it is about. They want the Democrats to run both parties.
“Next year might just be the last one of those offramps.”
I hope so. I’ve been sick of the Republican party since the big government, foreign interventionist, warmongering NeoCons hijacked it in the early 2000’s.
Bush Leaguers like Flimsey Grahamnesty want to go back to importing a permanent Democrat majority.
So few American Jews are Republicans this has to be a joke. A bad joke.
Well that will sure sort out the party faithful and the conservatives. Can they get Jeb!'s core supporters of 3%. Unlike Trump they might get 10% of the Manhattan and DC vote and pick up some Dim protest votes elsewhere.
IOWs this is a hoot. What idiot....
Who do these uppity voters think they are!
The Bush League have had us voting for open borders/amnesty/endless war candidates since they took over the party in 1989.
Go back to?? When did they ever stop?
We might actually want to keep our country and that just cannot be allowed.......
Where’s the “barf alert”?
NeoCon garbage.
They haven’t, but idiots keep re-electing them.
Yep. That is exactly how to save and restore the Republican Party.
In a nutshell, Lynn Schmidt says; just ignore what the party hoi polloi want and install the two most Washington centric and MAGA hating Republicans as your presidential & vice presidential candidates.
That ought to fix it.
So, the Jewish World review boinks NYT, WaPo, and CNN operators on the 50 yard line of the Rose Bowl on New Years day and they expect us to respect them. If: liberal, Then: we hate their ignorant asses.
As soon as you see reference to “off ramps” you know there’s bad road ahead.
It would appear you are a little late...
Try 1988
Drugs are bad Mkay.
