Funny. I can make the same case with establishment Dems.
That’s also what makes Amash and Sasse so appealing to me.
The Republicans, most ripe for cancelling are exactly the same ones that would attract left leaning independent types like me to vote for them. This is partly why I think the Republican Party is in deep shit. Rally around crazy and kick the reasonable ones out.

Re: Eating Their Own
Carl-left sociopath conksplains the new Republican Party. Great quote from Hamilton...
“The Framers are, to the 45th president, mere rumors. They, however, knew him, as a type — a practitioner of what Alexander Hamilton (in Federalist 68) disdainfully called “talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity.” Post-1/6 America has a quickened appreciation of how those “little arts,” when magnified by modern modes of mass communication as wielded by occupants of the swollen modern presidency, make civilization’s brittle crust crumble.
Intelligent people of goodwill disagree about the constitutionality of an impeachment trial of a former president. Forty-four Republican senators voted (generally less from constitutional conviction than from political convenience) to truncate the trial. They lost, but their role as jurors remained. In that constitutional role their duty was to decide whether the president’s two months of inciting what occurred on 1/6 constituted an impeachable offense. Saturday’s revelations about Donald Trump’s comportment during the riot — redundant evidence of his character, surprising to no senator — were no match for 100 senators’ unifying desire to spend a week away from the Senate.
As the trial proceeded, there appeared a new aspirant for membership in the Republican senators’ large Lout Caucus: Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.), Ted Cruz (Tex.), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), et al. In Ohio, Josh Mandel announced his candidacy to replace Rob Portman, the temperate conservative and meticulous legislator who is retiring in 2022. Mandel said the impeachment “got my blood boiling to the point where I decided to run.” His blood boils frequently: This will be his third Senate run.”

Re: Eating Their Own
I kept coming across the edited MSM reporting on Trump’s McConnell comments. Here is the unedited. Yeah he unloaded. And mostly true.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... r-BB1dK5K7The Republican Party can never again be respected or strong with political "leaders" like Sen. Mitch McConnell at its helm. McConnell's dedication to business as usual, status quo policies, together with his lack of political insight, wisdom, skill, and personality, has rapidly driven him from Majority Leader to Minority Leader, and it will only get worse. The Democrats and Chuck Schumer play McConnell like a fiddle—they've never had it so good—and they want to keep it that way! We know our America First agenda is a winner, not McConnell's Beltway First agenda or Biden's America Last.
In 2020, I received the most votes of any sitting President in history, almost 75,000,000. Every incumbent House Republican won for the first time in decades, and we flipped 15 seats, almost costing Nancy Pelosi her job. Republicans won majorities in at least 59 of the 98 partisan legislative chambers, and the Democrats failed to flip a single legislative chamber from red to blue. And in "Mitch's Senate," over the last two election cycles, I single-handedly saved at least 12 Senate seats, more than eight in the 2020 cycle alone—and then came the Georgia disaster, where we should have won both U.S. Senate seats, but McConnell matched the Democrat offer of $2,000 stimulus checks with $600. How does that work? It became the Democrats' principal advertisement, and a big winner for them it was. McConnell then put himself, one of the most unpopular politicians in the United States, into the advertisements. Many Republicans in Georgia voted Democrat, or just didn't vote, because of their anguish at their inept Governor, Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the Republican Party, for not doing its job on Election Integrity during the 2020 Presidential race.
It was a complete election disaster in Georgia, and certain other swing states. McConnell did nothing, and will never do what needs to be done in order to secure a fair and just electoral system in the future. He doesn't have what it takes, never did, and never will.
My only regret is that McConnell "begged" for my strong support and endorsement before the great people of Kentucky in the 2020 election, and I gave it to him. He went from one point down to 20 points up, and won. How quickly he forgets. Without my endorsement, McConnell would have lost, and lost badly. Now, his numbers are lower than ever before, he is destroying the Republican side of the Senate, and in so doing, seriously hurting our Country.
Likewise, McConnell has no credibility on China because of his family's substantial Chinese business holding. He does nothing on this tremendous economic and military threat.
Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack, and if Republican Senators are going to stay with him, they will not win again. He will never do what needs to be done, or what is right for our Country. Where necessary and appropriate, I will back primary rivals who espouse Making America Great Again and our policy of America First. We want brilliant, strong, thoughtful, and compassionate leadership.
Prior to the pandemic, we produced the greatest economy and jobs numbers in the history of our Country, and likewise, our economic recovery after Covid was the best in the world. We cut taxes and regulations, rebuilt our military, took care of our Vets, became energy independent, built the wall and stopped the massive inflow of illegals into our Country, and so much more. And now, illegals are pouring in, pipelines are being stopped, taxes will be going up, and we will no longer be energy independent.
This is a big moment for our country, and we cannot let it pass by using third rate "leaders" to dictate our future!

Re: Eating Their Own
That's the tact Trump needs to take if he is serious about staying in politics. Primary the Rino's and take control of the GOP via "Trumpist" candidates instead of starting a new party. It remains to be seen if Trump can get voter turnout when he is not on the ballot.

Re: Eating Their Own
It might be a good self serving strategy but there’s a ceiling to his and Trumpism’s popularity. We’ve more than likely reached that ceiling and the party won’t survive without an influx of moderates.SDHornet wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 9:21 pmThat's the tact Trump needs to take if he is serious about staying in politics.

Re: Eating Their Own
We'll see. The DNC purged moderates a while ago and the conk "moderates" are essentially GWB neocons. Lot's to be gained by populist candidates with a decent message.kalm wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 7:47 amIt might be a good self serving strategy but there’s a ceiling to his and Trumpism’s popularity. We’ve more than likely reached that ceiling and the party won’t survive without an influx of moderates.SDHornet wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 9:21 pm
That's the tact Trump needs to take if he is serious about staying in politics. Primary the Rino's and take control of the GOP via "Trumpist" candidates instead of starting a new party. It remains to be seen if Trump can get voter turnout when he is not on the ballot.
They let crazy fully out of the bottle. Best of luck!

No question. That's true of both sides and the Democrat establishment's elitism doesn't help their cause.

Re: Eating Their Own
I can’t answer for BDK, but I haven’t identified as a republican since the original GWB. In fact, I’ve rarely voted for the Republican OR the Democrat candidate in presidential elections...I will continue to weigh the pros and cons of each candidate and pick the one who most closely aligns with my policy positions.
