The article is pure nonsense.
Nixon expanded the GOP geographically, not Reagan. Many other silly and wrong assumptions.
You are right and RINOS protest too much.
Whoever wrote this needs to follow Jeremiah Johnson and head for the hills.
I used to say illegal immigration is behind everything. Now it’s China and illegals.
Nonsense.
Time for the GOP to ditch RINOS like Donatelli.
Ho hum. And you can look up in newspaper archives online from about 1982 or thereabouts and there are ones like David Gergen concerned about the far right turn Reagan allegedly took that was going to cost the GOP a great deal.
Time for FOX to dump it’s anti-Trump deep state reporters and commentators and go back to being fair and balanced reporting of the facts.
I am convinced that if tariffs were not a Trump issue, the Murdoch run Fox would seek and find some pundit who would pick on some other Trump issue, just to pick on some Trump issue - period. That’s what the Murdochs want to do.
Am I all in on tariffs? No. I do not think tariffs will cause the Chinese dictators to either reform the Chinese economy from a dictatorship run mercantilist nationalist state-capitalism party-crony run economy, nor do I think tariffs will appreciably alter the net balance of trade with China; regardless of how much Trump thinks either of those things can be achieved with the cudgel of tariffs.
But if my vote is between Fox corp (the Murdochs) and Trump, Trump would still get my vote.
What a steaming pile of crap. Trump revived a GOP that was going the way of the Whig party. Economic nationalism and a return to defending American workers are what got Trump elected. The political class has become disconnected from the people. And it is happening throughout the developed world.
Not sure who Mr. Donatelli is, but he has a HUGE hole in his memory. Maybe he forgot that people like Dole, McCain and Romney were losers. Maybe he forgets that the MSM will eat traditional Republicans alive, especially those who never push back or fight.
In order to win, the Republican party has to morph. Going back in time won’t work.
Time for the GOP to die and be swept into the dustbin of history.
What a tremendous filthy load of manure this Fox article is.
We should be alert for Chinese propaganda like this garbage.
Speaking of China, we are on the verge of a full-blown trade war with no end in sight and no clear end game.
I believe Trump sees an end game, and that U.S. Space Command plays into it (ala Reagan, USSR and SDI Star Wars).
This guy is a moron and knows nothing. Maybe he’s trying for a show on CNN.
Trade policy is the first example. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), designed to marginalize China, has been shelved.
Total BS. The plan always was for China to join later when there would be less potential political opposition.
Yup, the NeverTrumpers are out in force.
All is lost!! Recession, racism, cant possibly win, gotta get those guns, Trump is crude and racist, his followers are deplorable.
What we need is to embrace the winning policies of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney and the Bushes. You know, the ones that lose. We need to follow those who have the courage of the lack of their convictions.
We need to get back to letting the press trash us while we beg for their approval and hope that someday they will really really like us and let us into their super fancy club.
We need to embrace globalism and flush American jobs away.
Our betters and superiors must be restored to that place of immunity they enjoy whereby they can use the FBI, IRS and other government vehicles to overturn elections and keep the racist rabble down.
Above all, we need to restore a GOP that exists to lose honorably. We cant be divisive by daring to campaign or trying to win. Calling uncontrolled immigration into a U.S. welfare state a bad idea, is a bad idea.
Cheap Labor Uber alle!!
Eisenhower would have won as a Democrat or a Republican. The same is true of Trump, except that today’s Democrats are openly Marxist pagans, and would not have let him run as one of them.
The DEMS and GOPERS both wanted Ike to be their presidential candidate and Ike really wasn't much of a GOPer at all! Add to that, at the end of Truman's presidency BOTH parties were anti-Commie...so it was hardly a GOP "thing", nor Ike's idea to be one too; it was what the majority of Americans agreed with/thought!
Nixon expanded the GOP role and drew the most people toward the GOP; even blacks! The Upper Middle Class GOP woman, from the South Side of Chicago, Ill. was who nominated Mr. Nixon, at the GOP Convention, as the GOP Convention in '68; a fact that few people even know about now...sadly.
Trump is a Reagan GOPer, exceeding even Reagan in some aspects! And President trump is expanding the numbers of blacks and "Hispanics" in the GOP voter column.
Actually, given the Euro-trash believe in open borders that will, not maybe, but will result in a hostile mooselimb take-over, and the commies in China. Who exactly are our true friends in this world - you know, those countries that respect individual rights and freedom?
The world needs the US more than the US needs them.
