(CNN) In a single sentence on Monday night, Mitt Romney explained why the planned removal of Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney from her leadership position in the House on Wednesday is such a giant mistake for Republicans. Now, to be clear, I don't think that the average American is watching the machinations of House Republican leaders. "I was in Nebraska all last week and not one Nebraskan asked me about Liz Cheney," Nebraska Republican Sen. Deb Fischer said Monday. All of which means that the Republican Party will grow even Trumpier. The removal of Cheney is a recipe to shrink a party that badly needs to grow.
