'Burned to the ground': Anti-Trump Republicans set new goal of defeating the GOP Senate

A loose association of current and former Republicans working to sink President Donald Trump’s re-election now see another political feat that’s necessary for them to have a shot at reclaiming their party: flipping the U.S. Senate to the Democrats.

The emerging belief, based on more than a dozen interviews, is that defeating Trump alone is insufficient to spur the reckoning required to salvage a party that will almost undoubtedly confront a crossroads if the president loses to Joe Biden this fall. Many argue that GOP senators must pay a steep price for their unabating fealty to Trump, even if it hands Democrats complete control of the federal government.

“The analogy would be in the same way that fire purifies the forest, it needs to be burned to the ground and fundamentally repudiated,” said Steve Schmidt, a Republican-turned-independent political strategist who now works for The Lincoln Project, one of the most pugnacious of the anti-Trump GOP groups. “Every one of them should be voted out of office, with the exception of Mitt Romney.”

Not every Republican Trump critic agrees with the unsparing approach, contending that many of the GOP senators most vulnerable in 2020 are the sort of lawmakers who least embody Trump’s worldview.

1. Vote. Every. Republican. Out. Of. Office.

None of them deserves re-election.
All of them are guilty of subverting democracy.
Nothing will ever get better in the United States until the GOP* is gone.

4. The best thing that could happen to the Republican Party is to lose the presidency and both Houses.

That would give them 8 years to regroup. I believe that if the Democrats are in power for 8 years, no matter how much good they do, people will find fault with them. There will be plenty of issues that the Republicans will be able to run on in 2028.

5. After it's burned to the ground, sow salt on that ground.
