Just look at the glee with which the Leftist/MSM are trumpetting this. Who gains when we discard Noem for what we see as a mistake or a traitorous act (a wide spectrum, true). It won't be the Leftist/Dems destroying her; it'll be WE who will plunge the dagger. Kill off someone who has mostly done and said right. She's no Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, or many other easily-named RINOs out there. Maybe a little moderation/tempering of your all-or-nothing rhetoric is not a bad idea...
[I find the rabid emotionalism here is quite surprising, with this discussion board populated with obviously good thinkers and folks steeped in conservative principles.]
I think Prager articulates well what I'm trying to get at: Our side is oddly intolerant of any flaws in our [GOP] politicians, ready to scorch-Earth them for each mistake, great or small, even if we otherwise agree with them 80-90%. When we know that if a Leftist/Dem were to replace them, we'd disagree them with in the other direction, 80-90% (or more, these days).
Folks, can't we criticize and correct without talk of destroying someone? If we can't, we (almost) might as well start calling it Cancel Culture, conservative-style.
Perfect is the enemy of the Good.

No more free passes.
Your alternative to replace Noem is?
Battered spouse mentality.
