(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

US President Donald Trump has been the best recruiter for the Democratic Party, the associate chair of the Democratic National Committee, Jaime Harrison, has said.

He told BBC Hardtalk’s Stephen Sackur that President Trump's actions were “killing” the Republican Party in the long term and “splintering” it like no-one else.

You can see the Hardtalk interview in full on Thursday 9 August 2018 on BBC World News and the BBC News Channel and after on BBC iPlayer (UK only)....

I’m sorry, but how can a person receiving near 90% approval from Republicans, and an estimated 50% approval overall be killing the Republican Party. Definitely an absurd accusation.

He’s killing that part of the Republican party that needed to be killed.

I didn’t see a single, dead, Republican among the thousands and thousands of people that have attended his rallies.

Try a different tact, “Jaime”, that one is NOT going to work (either).

Trump isn’t killing the GOP. The GOP that spends like crazy, ignores border security, and bends over for Dems every chance they get is killing the GOP.

From the British viewpoint, the Republican Establishment IS the Republican Party. What we are seeing with Trump, is the removal from power of the globalist, "cheap labor" Establishment.

“... President Trump’s actions were “killing” the Republican Party in the long term and “splintering” it like no-one else.”

He’s remaking it. Should have been done a long time ago, like right after Bush I lost to Clinton. Ryan, McCain, Flake, Corker, will all be gone very soon.

That’s why that rat-bastard Steele and others in the British spy agencies conspired with the FBI to take out Trump.

“’killing’ the Republican Party in the long term and ‘splintering’ it like no-one else.”

He’s supported by 90% of GOP voters. I suppose that you could consider the remaining 10% a “splinter”. Maybe they could start their own Splinter party.

+1. Once the GOP took power in Congress in ‘94 they started their slide into big establishment spenders and guardians of the status quo. They had no idea how to push an agenda and get anything done other than line their own pockets and expand the size of government.

Actually the Brit journalist was defending Trump's action against the attack by a black Democratic Party apparatchik. Go watch it.

The same media who told us this want us to believe that Trump is losing support among Republicans.
