Lines Are Drawn for a Republican Civil War

Gerald Seib sees this plausible scenario in two years:

“A Republican senator or House member, one party leaders are eager to see retain his or her seat, will be challenged in a primary by a disciple of President Trump. The incumbent, after being attacked as a member of a disparaged party establishment, will still win the primary. But that outcome will be challenged by Republican rebels, who, taking a cue from what is happening right now, will charge that the election was ‘rigged’ by the establishment, and go to court to try to overturn it.”

“Such are the forces being unleashed this week within the GOP, where the prospect of a virtual civil war suddenly feels real.”
