I mean yeah that's where we're at.

There was a time I thought Nikki Haley had a pretty good chance to make a run at it from the normal seats. But she took one look at the state of play in 2022 and went "normal ain't gonna win a primary within my lifetime" and yolo'd straight into fascism.

I think Liz Cheney had the same look around and went "when you come to your senses and look back on this moment, I'll be there, staring you down" and knew she could sit out an electoral cycle or two. I doubt we've heard the last of Paul Ryan either. The fact of the matter is, however, there's a snowball's chance of a moderate Republican even making it through the debates at this point.
