Dozens of influential Republicans threaten to form new party

Dozens of Republicans are planning to call for reforms amid escalating divisions within their party, and threaten to form a separate group if GOP members do not break away from former President Trump.
The more than 100 former Republican officials are expected to release their demands in a letter on Thursday titled, "A Call For American Renewal," according to plans shared with Reuters and later reported by NBC News.
One of the organizers of the effort is Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration official who last year revealed that he was the one who penned the initially anonymous 2018 New York Times op-ed titled, "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."
"The Republican Party is broken. It's time for a resistance of the 'rationals' against the 'radicals,'" Taylor told Reuters, referring to those in the party who still faithfully align themselves with Trump.
Taylor also told NBC that the letter is “one last chance” for the GOP “to get its act together and moderate,” but added, “we're not going to hold our breath.”
“We're ready to get out there and fight against the radical elements in the party to try to excise those elements from within the GOP and our national politics and to try to invest in the deeper pro-democracy bench,” he said
Reuters noted that among the signatories on the letter are former Republican Govs. Tom Ridge (Pa.) and Christine Todd Whitman (N.J.), as well as former President George W. Bush’s Transportation secretary, Mary Peters, and former GOP House members Charlie Dent, Barbara Comstock, Reid Ribble and Mickey Edwards.
The effort comes as House GOP members are expected to vote Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) out of her position as House GOP Conference chair on Wednesday and replace her with staunch Trump-ally Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.). LINK

Guys. It’s time to pack it in. We can’t fight Charlie Dent and Barbara Comstock.

Didn't they already do this and get caught up in some sex and finance scandal's. Something like the "Lincoln Project"
Let them go. Literally dozens of washed up hacks will be moved to the irrelevance bin with the rest of the trash.

Now Trump has shown us the swamp.
He might have kept his promise to drain the swamp.
Now people know who the swamp is, we can vote them or the people they support out of office.

No one gives a frick what "former" members of government have to say. Do these people not understand that when they are not actively representing a constituent of voters they are literally worthless in regards to the current state of affairs?
Get fricked.

This is some long overdue spring cleaning.
I hope these limpwristed cucks follow through on their threats.
Honestly, though, that list isn’t a Who’s Who it’s a Who Cares.
