Reagan might not "recognize Trump's GOP" today, since there was no direct analog in 1980, but he damn well would recognize the Democrat Party of today as the direct descendant of the Soviet Union's Communist Party.

Never mind that Trump has expanded the party more than McConnell could ever dream of doing.

The problem is those he's bringing in are voters McConnell and the Republican establishment loath.

Well, wasn’t Reagan not very well liked by the GOPe back in the day?

You are quite correct. I've written multiple times around here that starting in 1976 when he challenged Gerry Ford for the nomination, the GOPe hated Reagan and hated his supporters, and it hasn't abated one iota since whether it's been the Tea Party or now Trump and MAGA.

The GOPe believe that Reagan literally and figuratively ruined their party. They had safe seats and all the pork and hookers they could want in exchange for being the loyal and acquiescent opposition, and Ronaldus Magnus wrecked all that by inspiring Republicans to win instead of just going along to get along. It's about the only thing that they GOPe have been right about.

The Republican establishment hates voters that stand in the way of their globalist elitist agenda and their ability to make money off it.

Trump and Reagan both put citizens, the base and the country first.

The last thing the establishment of either party wants is representative republic where the politicians are serving the people.

He's not gone in January. He's only gone as Republican leader.

He's sticking around to undermine Trump if Trump wins the election.

The RINOs are irrelevant now. See Liz Cheney, she has to grovel to Democrats now.

And then they imposed the “poison pill” that was George Bush on Reagan.

Yes, they favored the likes of the genteel George Bush, whom they stuck him with as the designated RINO VP. They considered Reagan a course upstart without without the experience or temperament to be President. All the same things with Trump. But back then they were far less willing to openly thwart him and support a stealth coup by joining with the dems behind the scenes to undermine him, block him, and investigate him relentlessly like they did with Trump.

I'd prefer Ted Cruz or Rand Paul.

My guess, though, is that it will be Rick Scott.

“I’m still a Traditional Republican”

Mc Connell is only a traditional Republican is traditional Republicans are Rinos and part of the deep state because that is what he is. He has done extensive damage to the Republican Party and was a road block to Trump when he was president. He is also why we don’t have real conservatives on the Supreme Court — with the exception of two.

He is still a traditional Republican so long as one recognizes the Republican tradition of being the Stupid Party. He certainly personifies that tradition.
