The Democratic attacks on Project 2025 were laughable because Mr. Trump is never going to have a governing platform. Oh, and anyone who becomes a political liability to Mr. Trump is expendable.
This is a hard education for Mr. Roberts, who made a loud cause of opposing aid to Ukraine when that became the view of the likes of J.D. Vance. He also adopted the line that anyone who resisted the new right-wing populism of Mr. Trump was a nostalgic Reaganite who doesn’t “know what time it is.”
The lesson for Heritage, and other think tanks, is that it’s better to stick to your principles rather than court the political flavor of the day. And never trust a politician.
One of the common accusations of the Republican party is that it isn't the party of Regan anymore. Oddly no one ever complained that Regan's party wasn't the party of Nixon anymore. Or that today's Democrats aren't the same party that fought to maintain slavery againstg Lincoln.
ReplyDeleteActually the claim is that the only guiding principal the Republican Party has is what does Trump want now?
Deleteyes, he's the party and the party is him.
