What Mitt Romney nails about the removal of Liz Cheney

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

In a single sentence on Monday night, Mitt Romney explained why the planned removal of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position in the House on Wednesday is such a giant mistake for Republicans.

"Expelling Liz Cheney from leadership won't gain the GOP one additional voter, but it will cost us quite a few," tweeted the Utah senator (and 2012 Republican presidential nominee).

Yup. Nailed it.

Here is the political reality that Republicans currently face: They don't control the White House, the Senate or the House. They have lost the popular vote in seven out of the last eight presidential races. Republicans face their largest deficit on the party identification question in almost a decade. And the man who oversaw these losses -- Donald J. Trump -- is deeply unpopular among the general electorate.

But it'll make the Orange Anus and Lindsey Graham happy.

And those are the really crazy ones - which is why they keep nominating lunatics in their primaries.

We just need to figure out how to convince those conservative folks in those districts who are no longer Republicans that voting for the lunatic, even though it has an R next to its name, is not in their best interest.

This is why we have Bobert and Greene and many others.
