Another Poll that Should Terrify Members of the Spineless GOP Establishment
Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet
Voting for Donald Trump’s impeachment and keeping the people in
leadership positions who supported this recent impeachment push is going
to drive the GOP base mad. It already has. I will not be shocked if
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) faces a serious primary challenge in 2022. While
there were reports that at least half of the House GOP caucus wanted her
gone, she remained, handily winning a secret ballot vote. It’s a
classic case of all talk, no action. Saying one thing but doing another.
I know, that’s a hallmark characteristic of American politics, but
people have had it. It’s given in to the populist swell within the GOP.
And with Trump gone, there is a fear that a new party could emerge. Now,
Trump’s political team has
disavowed
the formation of this “patriot party.” But that’s not the same thing as
Trump himself saying he has done so. GOP leadership should be watching.
Their base is getting restless with these betrayals, one of the biggest
being the failed repeal of Obamacare. For ten years, that was a promise
— and nothing happened. No wonder why a new poll shows that a whopping
64 percent of Republicans would jump ship for a Trump-led political
party. Oh, and the former president would get a sizeable chunk of
Democrats too (via
The Hill):
