Republican Party

Time For “Conservative” Never-Trumpers to Come Home

TFP ,

Great stuff from Dennis Prager. Those who claim to be Republicans or conservatives need to get behind the President now. Prager makes the important point that some of these people do not understand that we are in a civil war with the far-left. Others are snooty elites, or are simply engaged in ex-post rationalization: they did not support Trump before so they cannot now.

If you told any of these people that their President appointed a conservative constitutionalist to the Supreme Court, bombed Syria, started to roll back Obamacare, rescinded hundreds of crippling regulations, proposed a budget with massive cuts, and condemned Iran in front of the Muslim world, all in the first 100 days, they would be jumping for joy if it was not Trump.

Party In Chaos?

TFP , ,

Remember just a few weeks ago (and really for the past year) when the media said the Republican Party was headed for a civil war? It was going the way of the dodo. It may never win another national election. How did that work out?

After a resounding election victory (President, Senate majority with at most two seats lost, big House majority with only six seats lost, and further governor and state house pick-ups) the GOP is in a position of power that it has not seen in decades, if ever. Finally, at least for the next two years, the GOP is in a position to make some real positive change in this country. The populist “wing” won the White House while the conservative wing won Congress. Hopefully the two can find common ground.

The Democrats on the other hand are in disarray. Their only real leader leaving office, no bench to speak of, the cloud of corruption hanging over them, and unpopular platforms. The fact is, without California and New York, the Democrats might not ever win another national election.

Does the Dem Party have a future;

I see a lot of red. Plus the GOP now controls 34 governorships, I believe.
