Jonathan Chait has some wise words (it seems to me) on the matter of Liz Cheney being booted from her position of power in her party. And pretty much being told that her party is no longer her party.
I'm not spending much time watching news these days because fifteen minutes of watching news seems to turn into an hour or more of thinking about it and I have writing assignments that need my attention. Is it as simple as mainstream Republican leaders being terrified that if Trump can't call the shots in their party, he'll start his own and in so doing, take away enough voters and donors to cripple the G.O.P. for a long, long time?
