The GOP has been “on the march” since 2010, taking over governorships, statehouses, and winning seats in Congress in large numbers, with the potential to make transformational changes in the manner in which the federal and state governments served the citizens in a second Trump term. But the Lincoln Project determined that they would be the “face” of “GOP” opposition to Pres. Trump inside the electorate that supported him in order to enhance their standing with the media and global business interests aligned against his “America first” political paradigm.
Somewhere along the way during the 2020 campaign trail, they realized there was the potential for financial reward in what began largely as a “Look at me” vanity project.
are the democrats seems like there s little bipartisanship so far. are democrats ready to work with the president, work with republican leaders to get some of these important measures across the finish line? yes, ed. without question. nancy pelosi, our minority leader said in march that we were. and now the republicans, the white house said, that they re ready, but kind of tired of them hitting themselves with the olive branches. i want action. we have to get action for the american people rather than talk. we have to come together. people are tired of the obstruction. we had it from the republicans for seven years and now the democrats being the party of resistance. we have to get real reform together. ed: sarah, that sounds interesting but will you buy that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi will come together on hurricane harvey and keeping the government open and more.
he needs it. he s got to look ahead. speaking of someone in politics and as a strategist, he has to look ahead. he s looking at the largest growing number of population right now the hispanic community. the republican party can t afford to alienate them right now. so yes, he s got to look ahead, look at the mid-terms and 2020. so yes, there s room there s wiggle room here. ed: sarah i want to point out that there s his base. but yous will have over 300 evangelical pastors sending a letter to the president and congress saying i can t preserve daca, please preserve daca. then you had over 350 business leaders, ceos from amazon to facebook to the arizona chamber of commerce to the colorado business roundtable, ceos everywhere saying please watch what please think about this. so you have your base but then you have other americans and conservative americans.
to the table to negotiate on that trump had a brunch where he invited all the republicans to discuss possible healthcare reforms. not one democrat was invited. now all of congress had to go back home with their tail between their legs. so now we have to work together to deliver reforms for americans. we stand ready to do that, ed. ed: sarah, the president has a meeting tomorrow and a meeting wednesday as well with democrats and republicans to robin s point. what is the challenge ahead for him? what kind of opportunity does he have as commander-in-chief to pull everyone together? so from what i understand, he s looking at a tax cut, which is a temporary fix. president trump was talking about a comprehensive tax form package. he simplified it to a tax cut.
