That is the very reason 2024 is so important. Bush turned the Reagan Revolution into a mere speed bump on the Road to Ruin. We and Trump cannot let that happen again. The Trump Movement MUST be more that an eight-year speed-bump/slow-down in the inexorable slide to the Left and into the abyss of tyranny and totalitarianism.
That is why I clamored for a Trump VP who is ready, willing, and able to walk into the WH in 2024 to continue/finish the job Trump has started by dismantling 80%+ of the mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion central government including most unconstitutional cabinet positions and ALL of the unconstitutional Administrative/Regulatory State. The Constitution must again be the Supreme Law of the Land over the feds, which is the definition of individual and political liberty in America. Short of that, the Trump Movement will not amount to much more than a drive-by disruption on the Road to Serfdom, as Hayek put it.
Dunno if Pence is that guy, but it done’t seem like it to me. Something’s got to happen, either a change in VP or something else between now and 2024 to ensure this thing gets done and we, the American People actually WIN over federal tyranny.
Can you name the last sitting vice president who won the presidency in the next election?
Trump isn't running as a libertarian or Tea Partier, he's running as a conservative nationalist. The GOP base doesn't want significant cuts in Social Security or Medicare, and most want increases in defense.
This was also true during the Reagan years. Remember how the GOP lost the Senate in 1986? By threatening to reform Social Security.
There are even better political reasons to leave entitlement spending alone for the time being. Hint: look at the age of the GOP base.
