>>>> "... looking to how do we go about becoming a bigger tent party... We're going to have to find a way to appeal to more people and have a bigger tent." <<<<

Translation: Republicans will be competing with Democrats on gubmint handouts. That is the only language GOP politicians speak and understand.

FYI - This is the same guvnor that said this Republicans "Alienating Every Group We Possibly Can" With Trump

These "Republicans" still pretend they are somehow different than Democrats, and their party still stand for something meaningful, not realizing the so-called Republican party IS DEAD.

Do they think they can use the same slogans to get the Deplorables back on their plantation, after their absolutely shameful non-support for one PDJT?

Larry Hogan (R-MD): GOP Will Have To Go On After Trump, Whether In Four Months Or Four Years

_____________________________________________________

A much more pertinent question is how it will go on with twits like Hogan leading it?

And accepting and adopting more and more and more of the Left’s woke, SWJ, progressive Marxist BS is going to make everything all better huh, Hogan?!

Hogan is very well liked by the Leftists I know. They recognize their own.

By definition, the Republican who wins (Trump) establishes a bigger tent than the ones who lose (McCain, Romney).

We have no room for a handful of snobs (Christine Todd Whitman, Paul Ryan, Rick Wilson, Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmidt), as their places are being taken by throngs of blue collar/working class folks making the country work.

You want to see a big tent? Go to a Trump rally.

voters gave the republicans everything they needed when Trump was elected and they still managed to get nothing done. It was weak pathetic party without Trump. If they want to be Democrats Lite people will just vote for the regular Dems.

How about doing the right thing for Americans?

Standing up for the constitution?
Fighting for our rights?

Naaah - Hogan wants to go after the transgender voting block...

It must be hard for the likes of Larry to see Trump’s 96% approval rating among Republicans.

That is wishful thinking on his part. No Republican will be able to withstand the 24/7/ 365 attacks by the Democrats and media. Hence, the Republicans will become the lap dogs and hey boys to the Democrats.

If we keep re-electing Bush League Republicans instead of replacing them the GOP will be a rump party with no power.

They are planning on following the same gameplan they did with Reagan: wait him out and then immediately dismantle everything he did.

Thanks George HW Bush for ruining the accomplishments of one of our greates Presidents so you could go back to sipping martinis with the democrats while you work out way to pretend you all aren't on the same side against the American people.

Without Trump? I’d just as soon drag most of the rest of them out of their offices and kick the shit out of them...you know....for laughs...for something constructive to do.

His advice and $1.20 will get me a cup of coffee.

Might be nice if the party actually stands for something, duh.

I was active in Republican politics for a while, and a lot of what democrats said about Republicans (before Trump) was true.

They were generally upper middle class people that viewed blue collars like myself suspiciously, were nervous around blacks, and when I talked about minority outreach, they'd just shrug and say, "blacks won't ever vote Republican."

Rick Perry sent a delegate to talk to our county convention shortly after the Republicans had won a pretty big election, and he started that "big tent" garbage. He talked about there being a big enough tent for (paraphrasing here) the baby killers and gun grabbers, and if we were going to cling to single issues, we needed to exit the party. I stood up, waved at him and left. That was Bush's second election, and the Republicans never gained any ground or won a national election with the "big tent."

It's difficult to believe they're trotting out that old phrase again. Nearly as good as Jeb's! guacamole bowl.

The Republicans without Donald Trump

"I think they are going to be looking to how do we go about becoming a bigger tent party,"

A pair of his trousers should make for a big tent.
