Policy and governance have no place in the modern GOP.

None.

This only works if you assume Trumpism can fit neatly into a box and institutional measures can be used as a proxy for the nebulous concept of Trumpism. You are basically assuming the higher the score, the closer he/she is to Trump. I don't see that at all. Those measures are good indicators of Republicanism and not necessarily Trumpism although of course there is overlap but as we saw in 2020, many non-traditional voting groups like Cubans in Miami and Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley swung strongly to Trump who probably never voted for the Republican party before.

No, it isn't. Majorie Greene is clearly a clown but she's in the distinct minority amongst House Reps (QAnon and that stuff).

Yesterday's vote says yes it is. It was an absolute repudiation of sanity, democracy, and the rule of law, and a full-throated embrace of Qanon lunacy embodied by repellent trolls like MTG

That's your interpretation, it isn't a fact. I view it quite differently.

Virtue-signalling Dems are hilarious (this guy only got into Harvard despite his super-low SAT scores. He just had the correct politics...wink, wink nudge, nudge).

Really?

This you?
She criticised Trump and now she will pay the electoral price. End of story.

How about this?
Well, most Republican House members are on the Trump train and saw Cheney as a decisive figure within the Republican caucus

This?
How can you really expect to be in a leadership position when you are a hardcore critic of somebody which most of the caucus likes?

This?
I think it was untenable for her to continue in a leadership position given the current political situation of the Republican party and therefore it was right she was demoted.

You're trying to walk a really tight line here, Chris... 'We're all Trumpists here. No, not that kind of Trumpist.'

Sorry, ain't gonna work.

Folks like Devin Nunes, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, and Paul Gosar make Marjorie a stock-standard House Republican... Jesus, she and Matty had an America First rally at the Villages in Florida this past weekend.

America First is Trumpism without Donnie, right? The thing the caucus likes, right?

Kevin didn't strip her of her committee assignments in February, the House voted on that, and I'm pretty sure he won't do anything about yesterday or today either... 'cos she's one of them.

America First... the kind of folks you say will be primarying Liz next year.

Nope. You own her, Chris.

Never ceases to amaze me the gullability of the evangelicals:
and strike and strike and strike
Kor koramas koramor (evil voice) Biden666
The B is a symbol for a 6 and the E reversed is a 3. 3x6 is 666. He is the anti-christ.
evangelics minds blown. :notworthy: :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'd put her in an asylum; but of course she's Trumps "advisor" (pawn). However could well be the blind leading the blind, Trump may be believing his own lies. :sleep::sleep::sleep:
