Hosts Greg McCarron and Jeremy Rothe Kushel discuss the growing desire within the Republican party establishment to move away from Donald Trump toward someone like Governor Ron DeSantis. It's like we have returned to 2015/early 2016 when the "Never Trump" movement within the GOP was prominent, but now things have escalated, and even if the Trump cat is able to be put into the bag so to speak, the complete takeover of the American Conservative movement by the parties responsible for Trump becoming President (both domestic and foreign) is something that is not going away. We also discuss the new breed of Democratic party leadership who appear to be taking over from Nancy Pelosi, James Clyburn, and Steny Hoyer, and if this is another political example of Meet The New Boss, Same as the Old Boss. We close by discussing prominent Evangelical Zionist Michael Evans expressing buyer's remorse over Trump while basically expressing a refusal to support another Presidential run, and what this might mean.

https://www.salon.com/2022/11/18/like-a-little-elementary-school-child-dumped-by-spiritual-adviser-as-evangelicals-turn/ Former evangelical advisory board member Mike Evans sent an essay to the Washington Post earlier this month, saying that he would not be voting for Trump again. Evans, a Christian Zionist from Texas, shared that he once left a Trump rally in tears because he saw "Bible believers glorifying Donald Trump like he was an idol."

Evans said that while he was aware of the former president's "character flaws," they considered the relationship transactional and looked past it because he kept his promises to nominate Supreme Court justices that would overturn Roe v. Wade, and supported the state of Israel.

However, Evans claimed that Trump has harmed his Christian allies by using their religious views in a political platform.

"Donald Trump can't save America. He can't even save himself," Evans wrote. "He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us. I cannot do that anymore."
