Liz Cheney is a conservative Republican in every traditional respect. But she will not lie for Trump -- which is why she's persona non grata in the GOP. "The Republican Party is more than Trump!" some people say, with annoyance. Oh? Not by the evidence.

she’s a conservative in the bush/cheney neocon tradition. they have become less popular.

you can’t say everyone in the gop is either a cheney backer or a trumplican.

i like trump’s policies for the most part, i am disgusted by his personal behavior. that’s where much of the gop is right now. we want someone who will govern much like trump did ( again, whether you like it or not, his policies worked and were popular), without the loathsome behavior.

We want Trump without the spoiled brat 8 year old. that looks a lot
like Desantis to me. It also looks a lot like Desantis to many on the left, which is why they are terrified of him.

So you're saying that the Republican party does whatever Trump wants? So if Trump were to change his policies, which align to a great extent on Republican party policies over the last several decades, and go all authoritarian Progressive left, you're saying the Republican party would follow right along?
