...won't be turning Blue, they won't be answering poll questions, and they probably won't be voting FOR a Black woman, but after trump just publicly trashed dick cheney tonight, they won't be voting FOR him either.

The enemies of our enemy are not necessarily our friends but they can be useful temporary allies. We win the election and worry about those guys later but I doubt they'll want to stay under the Dem umbrella anyhow.

If they do stay, they will try to take over the party and push out the liberals. Then there will be two parties on the Left, the liberals and the far left socialists. Splitting up the Left could hurt us.

is to crush the anti-Democratic elements in the Republican Party so badly, that they will take a very long time to regroup.

After that, the Never-Trump republicans will reset their party with traditional conservatives, and we will go on arguing about tax rates, and foreign policy, like we always do, having different angles on these things.

To me this is a 'put the fight on hold while we fumigate' action that is understood.

I could be wrong

Post Trump... the GOP will come up with another Trump... younger, more articulate, double the IQ, maybe non-white and maybe female...

Look at the Romney run. Trump beat those vote totals by TENS of millions.

In 28, you're going to see someone like Gabbard, Vivek or MAYBE a Trojan horse like Matthew McConaughey

in the Republican Party.
In their version of the party, truth telling was important, and their belief in the strength of their argument, persuasive enough to win on policy, was the goal. Try working that into the modern day Republican Party, funded by the spoiled brat richfuck donor class, and you'd be shown the door if not thrown through it by their thugs.

Max Boot, former conservative and present day anti-Trumper said:

After 9/11, he endorsed American imperialism in a Weekly Standardcover story. The benighted countries of the Middle East, he announced, “cry out for the sort of enlightened foreign administration once provided by self-confident Englishmen in jodhpurs and pith helmets.” His name became a synonym for neocon warmonger, and he went on to advise the George W. Bush administration and presidential aspirants such as Senator Marco Rubio.

We either exert our control over a given area of the world, or Russia, or China, or even Iran, moves into the vacuum we leave if we don't.

They are not necessarily my friend, but they can be a temporary ally.

They are still scorpions.

Haele

They are saying they'll vote against Trump. To do so they are stuck with Harris. Once MAGA is tossed to the curb the battles will commence same as always.

...like we do on the internet.

The reality is that most of our nation's progress has been bipartisan, and most Americans have said in every election since I've been politically active that they want the parties to work together.

We bring our interests and concerns into the political arena from myriad diverse and disparate regions of the nation and work to reconcile all of that ambition and need into action or law.

None of it is guaranteed, and the opportunity for unilateral advancement of legislation is so rare as to necessitate some sort of unity; especially on issues of importance like national security, or national health.

Besides, those 'pillars' you describe are ideology, not action, and, all we're asking republicans to do is vote; not become party chairmen.
