How The Republican Party Could Splinter (Or Stay The Same) After Liz Cheney's Ousting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The GOP is in a bit of disarray.

While most of its members continue to display an unwavering loyalty to former President Donald Trump, a smaller but prominent group of more than 100 Republicans are gearing up for a breakaway plan. News of the effort surfaced last week when House Republicans ousted Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from leadership after she repeatedly challenged Trump for falsely claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.

It’s not clear yet what Cheney’s exile will mean for Republicans like her who are anti-Trump and ready for the party to move forward without the former president at the helm, but the GOP’s breakup with Cheney once again raises the question of whether the party will experience an exodus (Cheney, for the record, has said she’s running for reelection).

A splintering of the Republican Party has long been speculated, and while it’s hard to know whether this is, in fact, a turning point or an isolated incident that will soon recede from the headlines, these four scenarios are possible.

1. If elected officials such as Cheney really wanted to get the attention of the qgop, all they would

Have to do is start caucusing and voting with the Dems. They wouldn’t even need to change parties.

It would get their attention and make them weak in the knees!

3. That seems like it should work. All of the sudden

party central would have even more fires to put out and have to give serious attention to coming together around something, anything. And the results would be immediate.

Would it ever happen? How many would it take? Dunno.

2. None of them have the guts to breakaway

It's just empty talk.
It will remain the same with a lot of them grumbling but still conceding to all of Trumps demands.
