Popular political view?
Donald Trump OWNS the conservative Republicans….
Reality?
Nope….
Trump does seem to own the Republican LAWMAKERS….
But out there in the country?
There seems to be a small rising of those coming from the right who are willing stand up and show they don’t support the party leader…
A small group of President Donald Trump’s fiercest conservative critics, including the husband of the president’s own chief adviser, is launching a super PAC designed to fight Trump’s reelection and punish congressional Republicans deemed his “enablers.”
The new organization, known as the Lincoln Project, represents a formal step forward for the so-called Never Trump movement, which has been limited largely to social media commentary and cable news attacks through the first three years of Trump’s presidency. Organizers report fundraising commitments exceeding $1 million to begin, although they hope to raise and spend much more to fund a months-long advertising campaign in a handful of 2020 battleground states to persuade disaffected Republican voters to break from Trump’s GOP.
The mission, as outlined in a website that launched Tuesday coinciding with a New York Times opinion piece, is simple: “Defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box.”
The group is led by a seven-person advisory council that features some of the GOP’s most vocal Trump critics. Most, but not all, have already left the Republican Party to protest Trump’s rise.
The principals include former John McCain adviser Steve Schmidt, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich adviser John Weaver, former New Hampshire GOP chair Jennifer Horn, veteran Republican operative Rick Wilson and George Conway, a conservative attorney and husband of Trump’s chief counselor Kellyanne Conway….
Note…
Kellyanne and George Conway …The new Carville and Matlin couple, eh?

A bunch of nobodies who represent no one but themselves.
Conway gets some media attention because his wife is a Trump adviser.
Wilson and Schmidt play anti Trump Republicans on cable.
Big deal!
They have zilch influence in the Republican Party ,which is firmly in the grip of Donald Trump;however, I’m not surprised that you would pist this irrelevancy.
Your desperate attempts to “prove” that Trump doesn’t essentially own the Republican Party are well known.
This takes it place with all your other harebrained”theories.”
I do NOT have to prove anything for the GOPer’s….
They DO have some who have NOT succumbed to Trump’s brainwashing…
I merely note their existance
And I have noted their irrelevancy.
These nobodies have about as much effect on Trump as a mosquito landing on his arm.He swats it away.
Op-Ed added to this post done by the Conway group….
