Boehner: 'There is no Republican party. There's a Trump party'

Of course the people you describe aren’t the principled conservative thinker that I’m referring to. But take some of the never Trump R’s you see in the media sphere. They were smart enough to never back Trump.

But why aren’t they trying to lead their party back from the darkness? I’m thinking of folks like Richard Painter who has consistently been a voice against Trump. But when it comes time to move into the fray for real he’s out in MN trying to run as a Democrat when he isn’t one.

Or think about strategists like Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt , and Nicole Wallace. I enjoy their little barbs at Trump and their seeming outrage but it’s not enough. These are professionals who identify with conservative views but they aren’t actually choosing to use their experience to try and take their party back. Not saying each of them needs to run, but they used to work at getting R’s elected. They could either work to help moderate D’s in red states or help find Republicans who aren’t batshit crazy.


What I’m saying is I want these people to take responsibiliy and move people back toward something reasonable. The conservatives in this country won’t listen to reason when it comes from me or you... but they might if Republicans
