So then, you’re acknowledging that the R purity test is now whether or not you believe in Trump’s election lies?

the same intel that lied to the nation about illegal wars, overthrow foreign governments and illegal spying. Them? well, they are not the People's state. They must be part of the systematic racists that Biden talked about.

and Democrats have a platform? identity politics is not much of a platform more like a wreck. What was Biden's platform in 2020, he will find the cure?

She voted with trump 99 percent of the time, yet she's now a rino for voting to impeach him because she feels the breach of the capitol was his fault. And honestly, how could you disagree with her. This would have never happened if trump hadn't kept saying the election was stolen from him and told his supporters to fight like hell. He told the crowd that he was counting on pence to somehow overturn it, which we all know isn't possible. I guess his supporters don't know how elections work since they had gallows set up for pence, for his refusal to help trump, while chanting hang mike pence. Cheney has more backbone than any of these republicans who just bow down to trump because they are afraid of him. And he's not even in office anymore. It's disturbing to watch the republican party get rid of conservatives just because they have gone against trump. What happened to putting country first which she did. The party is imploding and it will be fascinating to watch

At least they have one.....I don't agree with all the platform....so I hold my nose like everybody that votes. But this is what a professional political party does. Trumps 2020 platform was blind obedience to him. That is Autocratic and Authoritarian....and as 1/6 was just a taste.....Trumpism, whoever carries the mantle is a threat to our constitutional form of Govt.

I think she just became difficult to deal with. It's not just pro or anti Trump that the public sees. Behind the scenes she's probably involved in some personal vendettas, stabbed too many people in the back and did things out of spite. I don't think Trump was ever her real enemy because Trump is a party outsider.

In any case, looks like now the bad blood goes beyond just disagreements in policies. There's always someone waiting in the wings to take you down. This happens in both parties and a lot of people have seen toxic people and experienced politics in corporations and academia.

Parties don't obey platforms when they get to power. You are really naive that platforms made for conventions are important and politicians in power follow it. They don't. Whoever watches conventions to get educated are full of themselves. It's like the losers watching the NFL draft all the rounds and pretend they know football.

That's like saying what they say in conventions is important in how politicians act in power. It's a Dog and pony show which the majority of voters don't watch. You are the few that bothers to read the platforms.


The party that wants to stack the Supreme Court for a power grab and the grandfather of mass incarceration and illegal wars calling Trump authoritarian and a threat to the constitution. You can't make this B.S. up. You really believe the bs from the left.

Well since you claim to be in the middle what do you think of her removal.
