Bob Costas: This Country Needs a Strong Republican Party Where Moderate Republicans Could Also Go To

EXCERPT:

COSTAS: "And I think that we ought to make it clear that this is not a matter of liberal/conservative, Democrat/Republican, if the Republican Party in any discernible way even exists anymore. When you have a sizable percentage of the country that is absolutely fact-averse and believes wild, crazy things, and is a cult of personality, this has nothing to do with principle. It has nothing to do with conservative ideas. This country needs a strong Republican Party so that moderate Republicans have a place to go, a place they recognize. But also, no matter who is in office, even if you voted for him, Joe Biden needs a thoughtful opposition; just as if a Republican was in office, that person needs a thoughtful opposition. Plus, there are excesses on the left, excesses of PC and wokeness and all the rest, and you'd need some sort of thoughtful response to that instead of the nonsense that we’re getting in MAGA world."
