Sixty-one Republicans in the House voted to oust Rep. Liz Cheney as Chair of the House Republican Conference. Earlier in the day, Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said they had the votes to oust her. Earlier, some House conservatives claimed they had over 107 votes and possibly 120 committed votes.
Though I differ STRONGLY from your opinion of the 2020 presidential election (I stand firmly with DeMint on this), you are wise to direct readers' attention to him.
DeMint's personal track record and integrity are what brought me to the Heritage Foundation in the first place, and I'm still a supporter today. I was angry at his ouster--but not enough to withdraw support.
Among those things the Trump wing of the party needs, wisdom from seasoned veterans (the "older-wisers," my nephew calls them) like DeMint tops the list.
What, exactly, is "the Trump line on public policy to be held???" Handing out pardons to Medicade fraudsters as a favor to Sen. Menendez? Wandering around the White House mumbling "I'm a very stable genius..." Reversomg yourself 180 degrees every other day depending on which aide talked to you last????
You should not humor the Trumpkins - he was and is a pernicious barnacle on our party and needs to be spurned, not treated with insincere respect.
This is one of those times where one cannot argue for a purity without compromise. This isn't even a theological argument--though, if your theology is well-balanced this demonstrates the need for cleared-eyed wisdom. Politically, your recommendations are much needed. I hope they are heard. Theologically, you demonstrate how our theology allows us to see the details which are incomprehensible to many.
