I don't speak for @ProjectLincoln, argued years ago that the best thing that could happen to conservatives and a future center-right part is the utter defeat of the current GOP, here:

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/0…

This GOP needs not just the wilderness, but oblivion. /1
@ProjectLincoln Not only that, but I predicted - as did @LindseyGrahamSC ! - that electing Trump would be the destruction of the GOP and the conservative movement, here, over four years ago. /2
@ProjectLincoln @LindseyGrahamSC But maybe @EdWhelanEPPC and others are saying: Fine, remove Trump, but leave all the "good" Republicans in place.
And who are they? A party that has been compromised *to its very roots* as an anti-constitutional, lawless, un-American, un-patriotic cult of personality. /3
The best thing that could happen to small-government, patriotic, pro-defense, pro-national security, constitutionally minded conservatives would be the complete zeroing out of this band of enablers. They are no longer conservatives in any meaningful sense. Clear the field. /4
The Dems will govern as Dems do: To the left, with a lot of disorganization and goofball rhetoric. But the Republicans, from Jim Jordan to Susan "Very Concerned" Collins, from John Ratcliffe to Mike Pompeo, they all have to go and be shunned for good. Nuke the site from orbit. /5
America needs a center-right party. Let's hope that when this crop of flunkies, enablers, and cowards, is finally washed from public life, we can create one. Until then, everyone tainted by Trump has to go, for the good of the country and yes, of a future conservative party. /6x
