I am going to pull for The Establishment wing. It&#8217;s not that I am one of them. It is that the Trumpsters now are seeking to become poised to ruin the country, not to mention their political party.<\/p>\n<p>The Trumpsters in the House, now led by Stefanik, are going to promote the Big Lie, that Trump lost the election via theft and vote fraud. They are lying their a**es off. They are continuing The Big Lie that Trump himself keeps alive.<\/p>\n<p>They disgust me to no end.<\/p>\n<p>As for Liz Cheney, she is far from my favorite House member. However, she voted to impeach Trump after the then-POTUS incited the insurrection on Jan. 6. What&#8217;s more, she has continued to stand strongly behind her vote and has drawn the wrath of the Trumpsters with whom she serves.<\/p>\n<p>The fight for control of the congressional Republican caucus ain&#8217;t ending.
