Some good news!!

I am of the opinion that once Trump leaves office, he should start a new party of "Trumpers" so we have another option during the next election. It would destroy the RINOS for sure.


Wyoming's Carbon County Republican Party voted unanimously to censure Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., for voting with nine other House Republicans to impeach President Trump on charges of "incitement of an insurrection."

That censure resolution has been submitted to be considered by the Wyoming Republican Party's State Central Committee.

"Representative Cheney has violated the trust of her voters, failed to faithfully represent a very large majority of motivated Wyoming voters, and neglected her duty to represent the party and the will of the people who elected her to represent them," the resolution states.

The Wyoming GOP has already condemned Cheney for the vote and demanded she "explain" her vote at its next meeting.

"By announcing her decision to vote for impeachment Representative Cheney denied President Trump due process; she judged the 'evidence' before it was presented and refused to listen to the arguments made," the Wyoming GOP said in a statement last week.

An online petition to recall Cheney on Change.org also has more than 33,000 signatures.

"I will continue to talk to and hear from my constituents all over Wyoming," Cheney told the Casper Star-Tribune after she voted last week. "But when it came down to it, the president the United States incited a mob to attack and interrupt the democratic process. And then, while the violence played out, the president refused to take steps to stop it. In my mind, those are absolutely high crimes and misdemeanors. There’s just simply no question. This was a vote that could not have anything to do with party or with politics."

Cheney is not the only Republican who voted for impeachment to face backlash – although she is the highest-ranking one. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash., is facing criticism from her district's conservative base. Washington state group Clark County Republican Women vowed to back a primary challenge to Herrera Beutler over the impeachment vote. Herrera Beutler's district includes Clark County.

"If you cast this vote to impeach, you will never receive our support or votes again at any time in the future," Clark County Republican Women said in a letter to Herrera Beutler. "Additionally, we will do everything in our power as the largest Republican Women's organization in Washington State to recruit and elect a conservative candidate who will represent our values."

Herrera Beutler responded by saying she took a stand for "my country and the United States Constitution."

"A ruthless mob that uses violence to stop the Constitutionally-mandated counting of electoral votes is an attack on the U.S. Constitution itself. The President either wanted the mob he helped mobilize to take these steps, or he didn't care enough about his job responsibilities to try to stop them as they hunted down his Vice President and beat Capitol police officers; either way, it's impeachable. Let the political chips fall where they may," Herrera Beutler said in a statement to Fox News.

The house Republicans can vote her out of her position as number three in house leadership, but mccarthy, the republican house minority won't do that. The rinos will join with the marxist democrats for absolute majorities once the vote out the real republicans who voted against certification. With mittens neice? as RNC head it will Trump kicked out of the Republican party and not the rinos.

20 gauge, Trump gave the RNC his 3 milliln strong mailing list for fund raising purposes, which is why they tolerated him.

Wonder how many Trump supporters will fall for the con and actually believe this is all above board and then still vote for the repuke party?

The repuke party will now engage in a program of "activities" showing Trump supports how the repuke party didn't throw Trump under the bus in order to con Trump supporters to stay with them after their back stabbing of Trump..

I expect none of them. I also believe they will go further and not even vote for them unless Trump gives the go ahead.

About a 1/3 or maybe 1/2. It will prevent any Republican from holding the presidency for some time.

I'd say most. Good conservative candidates have run but can't get traction due to "not one of two parties" syndrome.

MARANTHA!! Even so, come LORD JESUS!!!
I just sent an email to the repuke party telling them why they will never receive any money from me and I will never vote for any of them again.

I'm sure they will be devastated!!

Also, I live in Missouri and as I drove to the "big city" to have the ultra sound done on my gall bladder, I was VERY pleased to see MANY, MANY TRUMP SIGNS and American flags on houses and farms along the way!!

Good idea giving them the list. Let them waste money on printing and postage with absolutely no return. I love it!
