7)  Jennifer Rubin, a Washington Post columnist and MSNBC pundit, recently told the audience, "It's not only that Trump has to lose, but that all his enablers have to lose.  We have to collectively, in essence, burn down the Republican Party. We have to level them because if there are survivors, if there are people who weather this storm, they will do it again.  It is our job to hold them accountable, for the rest of their lives."  https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2020/nov/13/letters/

3)   As I've suggested before, the Republican Party needs to be burned to the ground and that ground salted.  Then the party of Lincoln can begin trying to salvage its soul.   -Chuck Hammersmith, Ellwood City  https://www.ellwoodcityledger.com/story/opinion/letters/2020/08/19/letter-burn-republican-party-ground/5602604002/

1) A cadre of Republican opponents of President Donald Trump is nonetheless calling for a purifying fire to sweep through the GOP in the fall, taking down not just Trump but as many Republican officeholders as possible….Their ranks run from the estimable columnist

George Will, to Charlie Sykes of the anti-Trump website The Bulwark, to the operatives of The Lincoln Project.    https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/never-republicans-want-burn-down-party/

"There's a category of Republicans who I'll call the burn-it-down folks," said veteran Republican consultant Mac Stipanovich, who has blistered Trump even as the rest of the party in Florida has fallen in line.  "They think that the only thing that can change the momentum that is Trump and Trumpism is defeat.  Massive, bitter defeat.  And they're voting straight Democrat tickets."  https://www.chicagotribune.com/sns-tns-bc-flagov-gillum-gop-20181030-story.html
