Cheney's stance has been admirable & the caucus needs & should tolerate dissenting views, occasionally even in leadership. But I'm inclined to agree that if she can't move off this topic as Mitch has, she needs to do that from the back benches. https://twitter.com/LPDonovan/status/1389569405701529603

Mitch, properly & courageously, made his case in public for impeachment (it was the right thing to do), then counted noses & concluded he didn't have the votes. We don't expect more than that from heads of legislative caucuses. https://twitter.com/BenjySarlin/status/1389585439019896832

We sometimes expect & need presidents & governors to stand alone against the tide when they are right. It's part of an executive's job. The job of leader of a legislative caucus is different. Your caucus *is* your power.

A point I have been making for years is that the job of leading a legislative caucus is fundamentally different from the job of an executive. It's why we should demand higher standards of character & experience for executive jobs.

Meanwhile, the job of a state party leader is not to pour gasoline on the fire of conspiracy theories that divide the party and drive away moderate voters. Kelli Ward, who has done nothing but lose, should have been gone from her job a long time ago.

The party absolutely needs people who think like Liz Cheney. Trying to oust her from office or the party would be insane. https://twitter.com/henryolsenEPPC/status/1389631558735249409
