.... If all of the Republicans who dont follow Trump-ism, who are not cult members quit, withdraw, stay silent, then it becomes the Trump party. Navarro said. Thats why its so important that Liz Cheney wins. If Liz Cheney wins against Trump, with Trump coming after her and everything, it means that you can beat Trump. That hes beatable. That you can stand up to him, you can keep your principles, you can keep your convictions. Be a conservative.
Hostin seemed non-plussed by this idea, immediately ready to provoke Navarro into an argument: I hate to throw cold water on you, Ana, as our republican on the panel. But everyones talking about Liz Cheney like shes the Republican Party. My question is really: is the Republican Party worth saving? Especially for people of color. Liz Cheney, in my view, is no savior for people like me. Ana, I dare say people that look like you. ....
Navarro, having enough of Hostins anger with the Republican Party, fired back: She (CHEENEE) is ("a 'sane' " Repuke). You might not agree with her on ideology, and I think thats the point of this government, she argued. ....
The argument wrapped there, but will the political discourse continue into tomorrows episode of The View, when Vice President Kamala Harris comes to visit? Well have to wait and see. ....

(82,849 posts)It doesn't matter what kind of shameful, degrading, humiliating defeat the former guy suffers. He's the cork that keeps bobbing to the surface of the cesspool. He got waxed in the 2020 election. Doesn't care. He sides with Nazis. Nobody calls him out on it. He incites riots and insurrections. "Everyone" agrees with him that there are good people on both sides. His acolytes die by the thousands by refusing to get vaccinated. The media cluck their tongues but can't follow the bright line connection.
Trump's been beaten like a drum for the last four years. Everyone has seen it. It doesn't fucking matter, because as soon as the news cycle ends, the collective amnesia of the popular media renews his credibility until the next time someone hands him his lunch.

(70,706 posts)is the "good representative/good Repuke" - "good" being defined as encapsulating what her party stands for - not in the sense of what we Dems consider "good" policies, no?
I would think she perfectly represents the Repukes.

(70,706 posts)Her opposition to Drumpf is about his total disregard for ideology, his damage to their party, and probably because he's so gauche by her Repuke born/bred standards.

(70,706 posts)reliably Lib, although disliking tax rates on her income level (like Jon LOVITZ, although I don't know how Lib he is). She also is walking a line because of her "Moderator" status, plus has had some rough times with us like when our honchos abandoned her in '04 when she used the F-word on W. Shrub.
Sarah sounds like a soccer mom, O.K. on the "soft" social issues, but I keep my guard up on her.
I don't know why they don't just give Ana the Repuke chair, since when Drumpf is not the issue she will be her Repuke self on everything else.

(21,768 posts)She will not stand up to shutting down the government.
She will not stand up for the infrastructure programs that Republicans were all for before Biden was elected.
She will not stand up for the rights of women or minorities.
She thinks income inequality is great for the country.
She will not stand up to the military-industrial complex.
She will not stand up for people to have healthcare.
She will not stand up for a safety net for American workers.
She will not stand up to the energy industry.
She will not stand up against big pharma.
She has no moral compass. If it was her Daddy who sent insurrectionists against the Capitol, she would be all for it.
