GOP Schism?

John Boehner (R-OH), the former Speaker of the House, blames Trump and his lies about election fraud for the January 6 riot at the Capitol, writing that the former President “incited that bloody insurrection for nothing more than selfish reasons, perpetuated by the bulls*** he’d been shoveling since he lost a fair election the previous November.”

It’s hard to know where this is going.  There is no doubt that there are some Republicans with a combination of integrity and intelligence, who simply represent traditional conservative values.

Does this represent a schism in the GOP?  It’s conceivable that the Republican Party will split into two, at least temporarily: a) Trump supporters, QAnon followers, gun nuts, et al., and b) followers of people like Boehner, George Will, Mitt Romney, and the others who have the courage to admit that the Trump narrative about the election is a bald-faced lie and con job.
