The War in the Republican Party Begins Next Week.

It is my understanding that they vote for leadership positions next week?

Liz Cheney is the #3 ranking Republican in the House of Representatives. Will they vote her out?

If they do, what kind of chasm will that create in their Party? Will there no longer be a place for anyone that doesn't think like McCarthy or MTG?

Personally, I would like to see Liz Cheney challenge Kevin McCarthy for the leadership of their Party. There would likely be a lot of bloodshed?

How do they escape this upcoming war?

as many have been saying, Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the face of the Republican Party.

Right now, they don't seem to have an alternative that isn't without major consequences and neither one of them is good.

Disavow Ms. Greene and McCarthy, lose the hard core base.

Side with them, lose support of moderate Republicans.

Pick your poison.
