and what will it stand for? well, gop 2.0 is not a new parrot. it s just a better pathway forward for the conservative party. i think we lost our way. we have certainly forgot to be empathetic enough to grow the size of the tent and our tone is atrocious. donald trump s tone is one that set set them the the marketplace for dissension and rancor across the political spec spectrum and it is about turning the page and looking forward. i think voters want to look forward and see what the plans are and i want to make sure they are voting for republicans. what makes you think voters want that? because it seems like donald trump has a a pretty big stronghold on the republican party, and millions of americans who support him no matter what. so what makes you think voters would want a gop 2.0? yeah. this past week, i was up in new hampshire meeting with voters all across the political spectrum, and really laying the groundwork for gop 2.0 to make sure we set their expectations
