News: Jeff Miller, a lobbyist + close @GOPLeader friend, is warning GOP consultants - you can’t work for Liz *and* Kevin

1 firm has dropped Cheney

“You’re either w Kevin & the conference or the person who is undermining them”

On the ultimatum👇

nytimes.com/2021/10/21/us/…
McCarthy thinks Cheney is undercutting House GOP effort to win majority, wants to isolate her. @CLFSuperPAC not helping her, but will aid other impeachers.

Cheney thinks McCarty so thirsty for speakership he’ll stop at nothing and is on a “morally bankrupt” path.
Can’t overstate how close Miller + @GOPLeader are, going back to when they were youngsters working for the legendary Ways & Means chair, Bill Thomas.

Republicans will get the message

New: House Rs didn’t just depose @Liz_Cheney - they handed her a megaphone to remind voters of how beholden the party still is to Trump.

And she’s already using it

On Cheney’s new role, the long shadow of Trumpism & a different sort of endless war

nytimes.com/2021/05/12/us/…
.@SavannahGuthrie today

@BretBaier tomorrow

And as interesting, at least to me, @Liz_Cheney is clearly playing for history: she brought family friend and legendary photog @kennerly w her today to record her transition from House leader to leader of the anti-Trump Republicans
The quiet fears of some Hill Repubs - that a symbolic Cheney bid in ‘24 is enough to lure Trump into the race - or least freeze the field bc to run before Trump has decided would be joining her ranks

Look at its tactics, impulses and issue focus

This is the party Trump has remade.

But there are some Dems who fear a ‘22 backlash on culture wars. See @danpfeiffer essay this week.

Or @JamesCarville to @BillKristol >

“I’m a supportive, ardent Democrat. Passionate and everything. But the English faculty at Amherst has too much power in this party”
The nature of @RonDeSantisFL appeal - not on the substance of his covid response but on how he gives it to the media - illustrates the Trumpified party

“This is the beating heart of the party right now — the media has replaced Democrats as the opposition” - @ScottJenningsKY

NEW: McConnell believes Trump committed impeachable offenses, believes the attack on Capitol gives Rs a chance to purge the president

and...

McCarthy has asked colleagues if he should urge Trump to resign, is open to a censure

w @maggieNYT >

: nytimes.com/live/2021/01/1…
ALSO: Biden called McConnell yesterday and asked if Senate could dual track impeachment trial and cabinet confirmations.

Far from telling Biden he would not discuss the impeachment, McConnell said he would check with the parliamentarian and get back to Biden.
McCarthy has cycled through just what can be done about Trump, approached Hoyer about a censure and said he could deliver a lot of R votes.

But the deal was: Democrats had to back off impeachment.

I went to the RNC winter meeting but found a parallel universe.

But don't take my word for it

“This room, they’re in denial, and that’s on the record,” said @billpalatucci

From Amelia Island >

nytimes.com/2021/01/08/us/…
One RNC member took an informal survey of which (closed-door) speaker committee members preferred -- @KristiNoem or @NikkiHaley

The answer? Noem, bc she didn't criticize Trump as Haley did
important to note: the RNC had become more activist-dominated before Trump.

But from ‘18 on, his campaign really made it Trumpy, because they intervened in state party conventions to ensure state parties all cooperated to head off any primary threat against him last year.
