Donald Trump.
“It’s all based on a lie, and they know it,” Avlon said. “Even as Republicans make Liz Cheney walk the plank for the sin of telling the truth, there’s more evidence to how weak Donald Trump is and the lengths they’ll go to deny that reality.”
Avlon produced numerous pieces of data showing that Trump has become a liability for the GOP, that he will hurt their chances of winning battleground areas of the country, and that many conservative-leaning voters want him gone. The New Day contributor argued that Republican leaders are deliberately concealing these findings though, to which “it speaks to the insidious influence of group think, and the fact that fear is the glue holding together this cult of trump.

More Hill Republicans Voted Against Wasteful Spending in 2020, but Supported Earmarks
Congressional Republicans voted much more strongly against wasteful federal spending in the months leading up to the 2020 election than they did in 2019, according to data compiled by Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW).

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Sunday that Democrats should push through an infrastructure package without Republican support. He didnât âagreeâ that Biden should wait for âconsultation and dialogueâ with Republicans. âThe bottom line is the American people want results.â Youâd think from his comments that Democrats had already offered to negotiate, and that Republicans had stubbornly refused to make reasonable compromises. In fact, although President Biden pitched his $2.2 trillion infrastructure package over a month ago, he is meeting with top Congressional Republicans today for the first time.
