When Barry Goldwater won the Republican nomination for the presidency, the GOP was a party of political conservatism, and fiscal conservatism.Quote Originally Posted by sear

We have simply lost our way.
Who can even say what the Republican party even stands for anymore?
Political conservatism? Not according to conservative political commenter George Will.
Fiscal conservatism? Not with $Trillion $Dollar deficits looming before this Republican controlled U.S. federal government."... the magnificently misnamed "neo-conservatives", are the most radical people in this town [Washington DC]" George Will / ABC-TV This Week July 16, 2006
The inmates have overtaken the asylum. Donald Trump simply does not have presidential temperament. And though I expect him to be a one termer, Republicans have done as much harm to their party as they've done to their nation.
"It should be obvious to anyone why conservatives and libertarians should be against Trump. He has no grounding in belief. No core philosophy. No morals. No loyalty. No curiosity. No empathy and no understanding. He demands personal loyalty and not loyalty to the nation. His only core belief is in his own superiority to everyone else. His only want is exercise more and more personal power." smb / purveyor of fact 18/03/18

If Republicans were actually fiscal conservatives, they would be RAISING taxes to pay off the Debt.
Instead, we have Scott Pruitt. A perfect example of today's Republican.

Fuck him. How smart do you have to be to see we're going way too far in Debt. The Democrats get in Power, they cut Military spending and increase Entitlements. The Republicans get in Power, they cut Entitlements and increase Military spending. A carrousel ride, round and round.
This while automation is taking over production and decreasing the need for human workers. Less 'work' for humans means a 'Universal Basic Income' will have to be implemented. Libtards insist we need immigrant Labor from Shithole countries. I'm not convinced we need more basket weavers here. Once they get here, will they be included in the UBI? So how easy is it going to be to implement the UBI if we are a Debtor Nation?
So, I'm not too impressed with the Leadership we have here. Both the Left and Right don't seem to have a coherent Plan for the Future.
Republican party is gone. Trump took it over and it was easy. The repubs are sycophants ,just taking orders from trump. they show no core beliefs except love of power. But they do not have real power. It belongs to Trump. Ryan wimped out and ran. Mcconnell is holed up in a bunker. Who hears of him any more? Those who are far, far rightys sometimes make noise. But they don't have policy. that is all in trumps hands now. He rules with Hannity and Fox making policy. They have more than abuse and use of women in common. They are war lovers who want to rule the world. They work for the plutocrats, like the Kochs.
