GW Bush is a rino, he has been tried and confessed and agreed to be executed at camp 7 Gitmo, for his part in 911! Q 2024
He's more Conservative that Jo-n-Ho
Nope not that easy at all. The republican party was infected with Trumpism before Donald Trump showed up. It has been appealing to these deplorable white nationalist/ misogynistic bitter people in four year cycles for decades now. That coalition is going nowhere. Its about a core third of this party now, in many districts the GOP need those votes, and it will NOT go quietly into the night. The MAGA hats like their power, and they are not going to hand it over to establishment characters like George Bush or Paul Ryan. They will fight for Pence, Devin Nunes, Tom Cotton, Matt Gaetz, or Trump Jr.
Not sure who eventually wins but these wars will last at least a generation and they will be cutthroat nasty civil wars in the GOP and the GOP cannot rebrand and broaden, as long as it needs this 1/3 to tag along. You will NOT effectively compete for women, or hispanics or blacks or young voters in the presidential elections as long as your aspirants to that office need to kowtow to these MAGA hats in the primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, the Carolinas, Missouri and yes Texas. You will not effectively compete in state elections for women, hispanics, blacks and young voters, if you need MAGA hatters to flood to the polls to win state legislative races.
The Democratic party said 'no' to George Wallace and the Dixiecrats lost steam ever since. You guys said 'yes' to Trump and you are in the fight of your life to even survive and remain relevant.
Remaining Republicans need to understand something: Never-Trumpers did not leave their party. Their party left them.
As the Rethuglican party continues to ramp up the crazy, people who find that they no longer have a home in that cult look elsewhere. Many of them see the big tent that is the Democratic party, and while they do not agree with everything that Biden stands for, he does two things that earn him their vote: He isn't crazy, no matter how much the trump supporters stamp their feet and insist otherwise, and he isn't trump.
Once the Republican Party rids itself of Donald Trump, it can return to being the GOP and quit being the Party Of Trump. Because it went to POT in 2016 doesn't mean it can't once again be a legitimate political party.
I am really starting to grow fond of nevertrumpers. They seem to be perfectly rational people. And sufficiently progressive. I vote that they make a new home in the BIG TENT. Dems will take all comers. Further making Republican party superfluous.

"The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats," Trump tweeted earlier this month. "Watch out for them, they are human scum!"
So, yeah. We'll keep a look out, Mr. President.

Never-Trumper GOPers: Wake Up! It’s Trump Or Anarcho-Socialism
In my book, I explain Alinsky’s tactics by using current events. His book, Rules for Radicals, was written in the early seventies and includes thirteen tactics for the left to use against Conservatives in an effort to transform America to socialism. It was a blockbuster then and remains in many colleges today indoctrinating our kids to hate this country.

i hope that you're right. only having one choice that still sort of sucks is not a good setup. after what they've done, i'm going to have a big problem trusting them not to do it again.
What the Republican party did to Mitt Romney going into the 2012 election said it all. He was a moderate Republican governor in a blue state and the pioneer of what would become Obamacare. Before turning "severely conservative" and railing against Obamacare.
There are a number of reasons he lost in 2012, but I think one of the biggest one was that right-wing extremists did not believe he was severely conservative enough.
He claims to be, but no. Trump is a fraud.
Got it, people can't change, is that it?
Nevertrumpers are closet Liberals; RINO's at the very best. They can stop lying about their politics, now.
GWB is a liberal?
He's exposed himself as an establishment RINO.
That's kind of sad, because I bet you were a raging GWB and Iraq War supporter. That means you were a RINO back then
You would lose that bet. :lamo
You didn't support GWB or the war in Iraq? Didn't you fight in it?
Says a guy that lies about being an independent...lol
Anyone who turned into a Leftists because Trump was elected was never a Conservative. Period.
I didn't support going to war and I didn't fight in it.

Interesting, you do know Trump has changed party affiliation 5 times and was a democrat from 2001 to 2009. So does that mean he was never a conservative and still isn't. Trumpies are funny.
Why were you against the war?
Opposing Trump does not make one a partisan Democrat.
Believe it or not, I was a registered Republican until my party went crazy and nominated a conman and fraud to the White House.
and whatever I am doesn't make Trump any more of a conservative anyway.
