A party of losers! If you kick everyone that doesnāt toe the Trump line, itāll become a permanent minority party and never win another national race. Itās a numbers game and the QOP is already way behind.These are yesterday's Republicans. Those that moved on have. It is Trump's party todaySadly, most just can't quit him, so strong is the cult.
Op-Ed from a Republican:
When Donald Trump, the patron saint of sore losers, appeared at a Republican event on Saturday night and compared the 2020 election to a āthird-world-country election like weāve never seen before,ā it wasnāt just another false rant from the former president. His words also described his attempted subversion of democracy in the run-up to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Consider Mr. Trumpās remarks at his rally just before the attack: āIf Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election,ā he said. āAll Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president.ā
Or consider Mr. Trumpās harassment of Georgiaās Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, with the request to āfindā him votes, or his relentless harassment of other election officials and governors.
Many Republicans want to move on from the Jan. 6 attack. But how is that possible when the former president wonāt move on from the Nov. 3 election and continues to push the same incendiary lies that resulted in 61 failed lawsuits before Jan. 6, led to an insurrection and could lead to yet more violence?

Republicans must authorize an investigation of Jan. 6. Otherwise they enable Trump, feed QAnon and allow the threat of violence to continue.www.nytimes.com
