Liz Cheney’s Plan To Divide The Republican Party Has Failed

Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the D.C. establishment’s goal for years — but it’s not working.
The widespread and coordinated plan to divide the Republican Party has failed, and it’s a major reason why Democrat prospects for the 2022 midterms are so bad.
Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the Washington establishment’s goal for several years now. The “divide and conquer” plan is being run by the Democrat Party, its propaganda press, and former leaders of the Republican Party such as Liz Cheney, who see how the GOP’s new composition and approach has threatened or destroyed their hold on power.
The D.C. partnership has worked overtime to try to marginalize, demonize, and make toxic those Republicans who don’t follow the establishment’s rules for how supposedly good Republicans, like Mitt Romney, act. They have been running the Jan. 6 show trial and warning Republicans in office to oppose many of the nominees that Republican voters selected during the primary season. These Beltway denizens watched in horror in recent weeks as Republican leaders have done the opposite, descending on tight races throughout the country to help all Republican candidates, not just those viewed as non-threatening to the D.C. establishment.
Sens. Tim Scott, Tom Cotton, and Ted Cruz went to Ohio to help J.D. Vance in his bid to be the next senator of Ohio. Sen. Rick Scott and a succession of Senate colleagues went to Georgia to help Herschel Walker. The worst thing for the anti-GOP effort was when Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin endorsed Kari Lake in her battle to become Arizona’s next governor. Republican candidates aren’t toxic. They’re even enjoying the support of former Democrats.
Tulsi Gabbard — a former Democrat congresswoman, former candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, and former vice chair of the Democratic National Committee — endorsed Lake, Republican Blake Masters in his Senate race against Mark Kelly in Arizona, and Republican Don Bolduc in his Senate race against Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire.
