[b]We need to get Republicans into office who will have the integrity to speak out against this madness.  [/b]If the Democrats in congress are the only ones denouncing Trump, Green, Cruz, etc., it will further divide the country. We’ve already lost Cheney and Kinzinger, but having their voices on the Jan 6 committee was important, and I think it made a difference.  I know I’d been working on my own parents who were Trump supporters for years, but it was those hearings that finally broke through, and I don’t think it would have happened if they had thought it was just Democrats going after Republicans.

I’m willing to do what needs to be done to protect democracy. I think too much of our problem is politicians (and voters) putting party first. We can no longer afford that luxury.  It’s no longer a question of who will steer the country in the right direction, it’s a question of just keeping it from sinking.

How's that going? Even Trump's Republican opponents for president didn't/don't speak out against this madness.

At this point, the Republican Party is the Trump Party. Yes, we need two parties for democracy. But the Trump Party cannot be one of them.[/quote]

Christie spoke out against Trump. He didn’t last long, but [b]it was important that he was heard. [/b]

I agree that Trumpism and the Trump “party” (I think of it more as a cult) has to be defeated.  I think part of that is by acknowledging those conservative voices who stand up and denounce it.  I will never vote for a MAGA candidate, but Cheney, Kinzinger, Romney, Hogan, and Christie, have shown they have the integrity to stand against it for the good of the country.  Cheney, Kinzinger, and Christie went along for far too long before they finally had enough and refused to go any further. Hogan, however, consistently opposed Trump from the beginning, and for that he has my respect. [/quote]

It's important to what or whom? Who heard it?

I mean, good for Chris Christie personally that he went back to opposing Trump after supporting Trump after opposing Trump. He can face himself in the mirror. He can sleep at night. But the political effect is nothing. Nil. Zippo. The Republican Party is the Trump Party. There's nothing left of the Republican Party except Trump.[/quote]
