The past 4 years has convinced me that only the last faction exists.

McConnell vs. Ted Cruz vs. Jerry Falwell vs. Trump? Of those, Cruz.

At least use someone like Franklin Graham for Religious Right, rather than Jerry Falwell!  Everyone is a sinner and will fall short, obviously, but I find that there is a tendency among some (not saying you were doing that) to find the worst example of someone on the Religious Right being hypocritical and use that to stereotype all conservative Evangelicals.

Why do you have a problem with Falwell?

Of these, obviously the Establishment, although I would of course say the small number of truly moderate Republicans, whose only notable proponents these days seems to be the Northeastern governors.

My answer depends on whether Religious Right means RI/DC Al Fine or it means 'Tea Party but with a Bible'.

Assuming we are talking about Jerry Falwell Jr. (not Sr.), he has had a lot of personal ethical failings related to his purity.  Those sorts of things actually led to him being removed as the president of Liberty University earlier this year.

Franklin Graham also praised Putin for “keeping the homosexual agenda out of schools” and has not supported Navalny, the most prominent opposition leader in Russia, because he supports said “agenda.” If that’s the Religious Right, count me out.

Ted Cruz is a self-described libertarian.

Ted Cruz is a self-described libertarian.

Which is hilarious. But more to the point, isn't he also a self-described "constitutional conservative" or something?

The Founding Fathers were alt-right libertarians.

Thomas Jefferson trolled loyalists on Twitter with Pepe the Frog memes.

Unsure that there's a substantive difference between any of them.
