33. He needs to define normal Republican

Mon Nov 14, 2022, 09:59 AM

Nov 2022

Many normal Republicans of his youth were pushed out of the party. Others left on their own accord. Jeffords of Vermont shifted in 2001 giving us the majority. Spector of PA shifted in 2009 giving us a super majority. Both of these men were long term established Republicans.

Go back further and the Republicans had people like John Heinz of PA, Javits in NY, Case in NJ, Percy in Illinois. All more liberal than the centrist Democrats of their day.

Who now is Todd's normal Republican? De Santis? Hawley? Rubio? Cotton? Ron Johnson? Pompeo? The Trump years tarnished all of them.
