That’s what the RINOs running the Republican Party would have us all believe. Since Donald Trump is the flavor of the day among rank-and-file Republicans (and much, much more!), the RINOs in the House GOP conference think that we will be satisfied with their tossing a NeverTrumper (Liz Cheney, RINO-WY) for the “up-and-coming” Elise Stefanik (RINO-NY) as the number three ranking House Republican and GOP conference chairman.
Stefanik gave a good public performance during the first and second impeachment farces, as well as in the aftermath of the November election, gaining national attention and support among Trump backers for her vigorous defense of the president. That was a political no-brainer for a Republican, as Trump loyalty is the number one virtue in the eyes of many Republican voters.

“Well, Donald Trump’s plan on immigration is stupid. I find him offensive. His solution is just constitutionally flawed. It’s not practical. I don’t think there’s 10 votes in the United States Senate for this plan. I promise you no Democrat’s going to vote for this, I certainly wouldn’t vote for it.
