A former California congressman who’s headed back to the House next year, compared President Trump’s additions to the Republican Party to those of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
“I believe that Donald Trump has added to the Republican Party just as Lincoln did and Reagan did and Goldwater did,” Darrell Issa said on "Fox News Saturday." “These are lasting people still mark each of those historical figures in a very special way. And so I think when you take the party of Reagan, and then you add Lincoln, then you add Trump you get our party.”
The California Republican is a nine-term congressman and ardent supporter of President Trump. He won his race last week in California’s 50th District, two years after he retired as congressman from the increasingly Democratic 49th District.
He once headed the powerful House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and became a GOP favorite for launching a string of investigations of the Obama administration.
Issa was among a group of Republican congressional candidates who fared well even though Trump was trounced in California by Democrat Joe Biden. GOP candidates had leads of varying sizes in four California districts won by Democrats in 2018. Republicans currently hold seven of California's 53 House seats.

I don't know if the lawsuits and recounts will result in a Trump victory, but I think the most important aspect is that evidence can be brought to light to show the fraud and illegal actions that are taking place. Democrats claims that there is no fraud is a lie. Whether it is one illegal vote or 10,000 our elections must be secure, they are the means by which we control our government and we need to demand the system be corrected and made secure so that we can have faith in the results of elections.
Darrell let me tell you ,if Donald Trump starts the MAGA Party, you can say good buy to the Republican party for ever. There is 72 million ready to jump on board that ship.
When discussing Darrell Issa, one thing I’m certain of; he will have at least 3 other opinions of Trump & the Republican party’s future before the week is over.
Time is running out for Trump. It’s an uphill battle, made all the more difficult because of the lack of PR.

Exactly. If the Republicans in the state legislatures don't step up and support Trump, the MAGA Party with 72 million will be created soon afterward and the Republicans will wither on the vine.
GOPe think Trump will be out of power and are starting to lavish him with praise. They want his voters.
Wrong presidents, and this isn’t about the damn party.
I suspect Trump may feel about political parties the same way George Washington did...
God knows I do now.
