    RIP conservative scorecards? Chip Roy has lifetime ratings of 96% from Heritage Action and 95% from American Conservative Union. He just got smoked for the No. 3 House GOP leadership job by Elise Stefanik, who has lifetime ratings of 48% from Heritage Action and 44% from ACU.

        It wasn't long ago that these scorecards instilled fear in House Republicans and were used as barometers of ideological purity in party primaries, leadership jockeying and so on. Today it's all irrelevant. "Conservative principles" mean whatever Donald Trump wants.

        The conservative group Club For Growth gives Elise Stefanik a lower lifetime rating (35%) than ... Ilhan Omar (38%). I am not kidding.

        Trump scorecards are the only things that have mattered for a while now.

        Traditional conservatism isn't anti-democratic. Current GOP is.

        Stefanik's Trump scorecard is WORSE though! All they care about is *words* of allegiance to Trump, not actual policyhttps://twitter.com/politicpinecone/status/1393203572817289227?s=19 …

        Political Pinecone added,

        Screenshot of Elise Stefanik's "Trump Scorecard" from Five Thirty Eight. Trump score (how often Stefanik votes in line with Trump's position) = 77.7%. Trump margin (Trump's share of the vote in the 2016 election in the members state or district minus Clinton's) = 13.9%. Predicted Score (how often Stefanik is expected to support Trump based on Trump's 2016 margin) = 82.1%. Trump Plus-Minus (difference between Stefanik's actual and predicted Trump-support scores) = -4.5
        Screenshot of Liz Cheney's "Trump Scorecard" from Five Thirty Eight. Trump score (how often Cheney votes in line with Trump's position) = 92.9%. Trump margin (Trump's share of the vote in the 2016 election in the members state or district minus Clinton's) = 46.3%. Predicted Score (how often Cheney is expected to support Trump based on Trump's 2016 margin) = 94.2%. Trump Plus-Minus (difference between Cheney's actual and predicted Trump-support scores) = -1.3

        All I'm saying is the GOP is officially a cult, not a political party. Prioritizing allegiance to Trump over someone who votes for actual Republican policies? Interesting strategy. pic.twitter.com/4iRj5krXMJ
