Ex-GOP Senator Says Republicans Must Form New Party or Be Trump Hostages
Former Republican Senator William Cohen has accused GOP members of pandering to President Donald Trump's wishes to overturn the election result and warned they will be held hostage to his whims when he leaves office.
Cohen, who was a GOP U.S. senator for Maine between 1979 and 1997, took aim at GOP lawmakers indulging Trump's unfounded claims of election fraud, and said that division among Republicans was so stark that it should form a new party.
Describing Trump as a "ringmaster" who can "snap his whip and all of the elephants jump on the chairs," Cohen said that Republicans who back Trump's rejection of the election result were storing up problems for the party in the future.
"He is going to continue to snap the whip whether he's in office or out of office," Cohen told CNN on Thursday.

Guess I don't get the worship of Trump. I mean I read "Art of the Deal" back in 1988 and briefly bought into the "Trump is an entrepreneur" myth. I didn't worship the guy however.
A few years later I found out that his daddy had to bail out his casino. In casino gambling the game is rigged in favor of the house. On has to be pretty incompetent to lose money.
