Hogan emphasized the need for the Republican party to embrace a broader ideology: "I think we’ve got to stand up and try to take the Republican party back and eventually get us back on track to a bigger tent, more [Ronald] Reagan's party, that can win elections again." His vision reflects a shift towards inclusivity and a return to traditional conservative values, indicating a long-term commitment to reshaping the party's future.
Michael Steele put forward a more radical perspective on the party's current state, declaring, "We have to blow this crazy-ass party up and have it regain its senses, or something else will be born out of it." This highlights the urgency for dramatic change amidst the current political climate within the GOP, signaling that fundamental reform may be necessary to restore party integrity.
Liz Cheney and other former congressmen are poised to play a significant role in the GOP’s future, as she stated: "...all of us who have been pushed aside and... fortunately were not infected with Maga, we will have something to say about what happens on 6 November." This suggests a rallying point for traditional Republicans to take a stand and influence the direction of their party.
Reed Galen underscored the daunting challenge facing those opposed to Trumpism within the party: "It’s going to take somewhere between six, eight, 10 years to defeat the Maga piece of the party resoundingly and definitively." This acknowledgment of a lengthy struggle illustrates the deep-rooted influence of Trump within the party and the resilience needed for a potential shift.
