As the GOP is more and more committed to the cult of Donald Trump, a group of prominent “rational” Republicans are asking their party to leave Trump and the Big Lie behind. If not, they threaten to start a third party. One founder of the group is two-term former Northern Virginia Congresswoman Barbara Comstock. Bill quizzes her on the new group, Liz Cheney’s ouster, Kevin McCarthy and if the party can rid itself of Trumpism.

Susan Page is the USA Today Washington Bureau Chief and author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi and The Lessons of Power. (Click on the link to see the book on Amazon.) Bill loved the book and Susan reveals the Nancy Pelosi who may be bad at doing press but is unparalleled at running The House. Oh, and she never forgets. Ever.
