Prove that an outside opinion by

Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol, Steve Schmidt... the Bulwark...

does not help us.

In examining The Way Forward, all perspectives about what should be done differently should be welcome.
WE decide what helps and what doesn't, not who. How many (ex-) Republicans do you already trust? Nicolle Wallace? Michael Steele? Michael Luttig? Cassidy Hutchinson? Richard Donoghue? Richard Painter? Sarah Longwell?

If you want to begin with who we are not to trust, the burden of proof is on you to prove their untrustworthiness by the very things they did/said that Democrats tried that caused them to lose 2024.
Otherwise, you're indulging in us/them fear talk. THAT right there is the opposite of helpful.
