Abe Lincoln’s party, the Republicans, shape-shifted by Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, has no principles, writes Rosie DiManno.
No one can mistake Liz Cheney for a moderate Republican; she’s red, and bred GOP, to the bone.Voted with President Donald Trump 93 per cent of the time.
Trump brought all his toxic, GOP-debauching powers to endorsing Harriet Hageman, a candidate of zero political substance, a long-time trial lawyer, best known for siding with ranchers, energy and mining interests in the least populated state in America, an anti-environmentalist, opposed to rules protecting land, water and endangered species.
It’s that flirtation which holds lawmakers in fearful thrall, although Trump can clearly wield a hammer from the sidelines, crushing dissent. Just as he’s now running victory laps for annihilating Cheney. “Lincoln was defeated in elections for the Senate and House before he won the most important election of all.”
