The National Pulse reports that the Republican establishment is engaged in political self-destruction.
Led by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the Republican establishment appears to have begun trying to somehow erase President Trump and the “Make America Great Again” movement from the Republican Party.
History tells us that this is a terrible idea for Republicans and a terrible idea for the country.
In 1988, President Bush Sr. defeated Democrat Michael Dukakis, effectively securing Ronald Reagan’s third term.
Since then, the Republican establishment has been doing an increasingly poor job of.
1992 – George Bush Sr. loses to Bill Clinton after his victory in the first Gulf War.
1996 – President Clinton defeats Sen. Bob Dole (R-Va.), who gets just over 39 million votes nationwide.
2000 – President George W. Bush Jr. loses the popular vote, barely winning by 537 votes in Florida after weeks of litigation.
2004 – President Bush Jr. barely defeats John Kerry (D-MA), a candidate lacking charisma, by just over 2% of the vote.
2008 – President Obama defeats Senator John McCain (R-AZ) by nearly 10 million votes.
2012 – President Obama thoroughly defeats now-Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT).
2016 – The “Make America Great Again” movement sweeps the United States, with President Trump winning by 63 million votes.
2020 – President Trump receives nearly 75 million votes, the most of any sitting president in history.
In 2020, President Trump achieved historic highs for Republicans among African-American, Hispanic, Jewish-American and other voter groups.
Why? Because Donald Trump stands for a strong America, for opportunity and for the forgotten people who don’t want our jobs and money to go to China.
The “Make America Great Again” campaign is about less intervention and more American manufacturing.
“The Make America Great Again movement stands for fair trade.
Without President Trump and his movement, the Republican Party equals unnecessary war, unfair trade, and unchecked elitism.
It’s not a winning formula. That is a path to gaining 40 to 60 million votes every four years and losing the White House.
Americans of all political persuasions were right to condemn the violence that took place at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
That said, this tragic event should not cause the Republican Party to cut ties with its base.
Those who participated in the “Make America Great Again” campaign filled stadiums, worked hard in their districts, and went out to vote.
The Republican Party should recognize that President Trump is its leader, that the Make America Great Again movement is its lifeblood, and that working to grow those nearly 75 million voters will be a force for generations to come.
