CBS News poll: Republicans weigh in on Liz Cheney and direction of GOP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When House Republicans ousted Congresswoman Liz Cheney from her leadership post, it spoke to the direction of the Republican Party in at least one specific way: what should happen to those who publicly break with former President Donald Trump? So, we surveyed the nation's self-identified Republicans to learn what they thought of the week's events. They still very much want their party to show loyalty to Mr. Trump and adhere to the idea that President Biden didn't legitimately win.

Their views on Cheney, in turn, now reflect those wishes.

Eighty percent of Republicans who'd heard about the vote agree with Cheney's removal — they feel she was off-message, unsupportive of Mr. Trump, and that she's wrong about the 2020 presidential election. To a third of them, and most particularly for those who place the highest importance on loyalty, Cheney's removal also shows "disloyalty will be punished."





Those Republicans opposed to her removal — just a fifth of the party right now — say it's mainly because there's room for different views in the party, not all need support Mr. Trump and this was a distraction. But when we look down the line to any potential electoral impact, theirs might be even more limited: this group is also less likely to report voting in Republican primaries.

1. We are lost.

How so many people can be so wrong is the stuff of science fiction horror flicks.

[Poiuyt]

17. This will be studied by historians and social scientists for years to come

[Takket]

2. she'll be handily defeated by a Q-anon hand picked MTG clone next year too

people like MTG and Boebert aren't an aberration. They are the future of the POT (Party of trump)

[Dave in VA]

3. So, 66% of 25%

of Voters willing to identify as RQPs say we need to be loyal to the orange hemorrhoid. Okie dokie...

4. Thanks for putting this into perspective.

[Silent3]

9. Don't forget that many so-called independents support this shit...

...and oddly, a few percent of those who mysteriously call themselves Democrats. So it's probably 25-30% of the whole adult population supporting the fascist approach, with another 10% or so who don't agree with how Cheney has been treated, but who loathe Democrats so much they'll look the other way, and keep voting Republican regardless.

And then there's 20-25 on the sidelines who don't give a damn about politics and don't bother to vote no matter what.

This comes to a scary number of people who will determine who gets elected who are crazy Trump sycophants, or diehard Republican who might as well be for how they vote.

5. Again, I am just tired, sick and tired, It may just be easier to

Give up the pan handle of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. Let the nuts have their space and form their own country. When it fails, and it will, re-admit them as territories and let them earn their way back into the country when they choose to act as responsible citizens. Prior to the founding of dumbfuckastan, Anyone who wants to leave those states should get resettlement money to relocate in the US and with the grifters of those states gone, there will be plenty of money to relocate those who leave.

Guns, lack of spending on education, infrastructure, healthcare and social programs, low taxes, no taxes, whatever they want. They can borrow New Hampshire’s motto of live free or die, unfortunately many will, shootings, limited access to healthcare, no regulations on air quality, pesticides in food, lead in water, no regulations, no problem. No masks, no vaccines again, whatever.

Yes, before long we will have a failed nation state on our southern border and a refugee crisis as people want to come back. We should take them through the immigration process that they currently shit on.

The insanity has to stop and this may be the only solution. I am just tired and have had it.

6. That is one very depressing poll

I had hoped for better results but it shows why the republicans in congress stick with Trump even though some don't want to and know he's crazy. They want to get re-elected and the people want Trump, ugh!!!

[multigraincracker]

7. Just remember that 100% of republicans

are only 26% of the country.

[SoCalDavidS]

11. But They're Half The Actual Voters nt

[multigraincracker]

13. GOTV

is all I can say.

[Tree Lady]

16. That's even more depressing

Considering how they rule most of the states.

[PortTack]

8. For some perspective..the qgop voters now represent 25% of the voting populous

[SoCalDavidS]

12. They Represent 50% Or More Of Voters Though

[Elessar Zappa]

15. Last time I checked

Biden won by seven million votes. So, no, they don’t represent 50% or more of all voters. We’re not helpless nor powerless.

[Leith]

10. I admit that I don't follow polls

but - and correct me if I'm wrong - a question to Democrats along the lines of "Democrats being loyal to Biden is 1) important; 2) not important" would be downright weird.

I support Biden and what he is accomplishing, but I wouldn't say that I was "loyal" to a president. I'm loyal to the ideals and goals he is doing his damnedest to achieve.

I'm not sure if I described my meaning clearly. Does this make sense to anyone else?

14. +1, scary how many people don't want democracy any longer

[spanone]

18. lost souls.
