And lots of solid
Republicans,
Say Trump is not a
conservative Republican.
"There is no
Republican Party. There's a Trump party," John Boehner [former Republican
House Speaker] told a Mackinac, Michigan, gathering of the GOP faithful last
week. "The Republican Party is kind of taking a nap somewhere."
Longtime conservative columnist George
Will is making a case against voting for
Republicans in November’s 2018 midterm elections, arguing that House Speaker
Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and other GOP members of Congress “have become the
president’s poodles.”In a column published Friday in The Washington Post, Will lamented “Republican misrule,” and criticized lawmakers for “hav[ing] no higher ambition than to placate the president.”
“The Republican-controlled Congress, which waited for Trump to undo by unilateral decree the border folly they could have prevented by actually legislating, is an advertisement for the unimportance of Republican control,” Will wrote.
“Forget policy. Forget ideology. Forget hating Hillary
Clinton or Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi. From Indiana to Arizona to Ohio, the
name of the game for Republican candidates this primary cycle has been
to flaunt their Trump love. And woe unto anyone deemed insufficiently smitten.
This week’s primary elections underscored the striking
degree to which President Trump has transformed the Republican Party from a
political organization into a cult of personality. By contrast, Democrats show
signs of taking a more pluralistic approach, fielding
candidates who are willing and even eager to break with their national leaders
— the House minority leader, Ms. Pelosi, in particular.”
