Why Trump’s Republican Party is a Bigger Tent Than Ever
(00:00.878)
I’m sure you’ve heard this, been following the media. It’s been a line used by many of the old school political reporters. Brit Hume from Fox News, Trump win is essentially the end of the Republican party, the Republican party as we knew it. And, this is not the party of Reagan. Huh? Let’s be honest here, okay?
The Republican Party, quite frankly, they wanted no part of Reagan at the time. They wanted no part of Reagan at all. Listen, the end of the Republican Party, if you’re talking about the end of the Bushwood, Bushwood Country Club Republicans, I’m all for it. Bushwood, yeah, from Caddyshack, know, like Judge Smales and Dr. Beeper.
and that whole gang, they’re no different. I remember talking about this, you know, getting a flashback from some 15, 20 years ago. You think the difference between the elites and the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are really that much different? No way. They want control as much as everyone else does. You’re calling on, you want to bring back the Bushes? Huh? Is that what you’re looking to do? You think that that’s
That’s gonna be great. Are you out of your mind? Listen, I am a strong fiscal conservative and I disagree with quite a few of Trump’s policies and we’ve discussed that here on the program. But without a doubt, I mean, it’s becoming a much bigger tent.
The people that Donald Trump is surrounding himself with, as far as I’m concerned, fantastic. mean, bringing Ron Paul into the mix. There’s another one that the Republicans hated. They’d make fun of him. The established would make fun of him. Silly Ron Paul. yeah, those libertarian ideas, know, no war and basically getting rid of the Fed and cutting government spending. my God.

What a fool. They make fun of them because again, they’re big government types too. It’s just a different type of big government.
They want to spend money, just want to spend it on, they got different priorities than the Democrats do. Same thing. In essence, again, which weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? you spend, you know, a hundred billion dollars on this defense project, or you spend a hundred billion dollars on this welfare program that goes nowhere. You’re still spending a hundred billion dollars. And that’s the issue. So,
Again, am I going to shed a tear for the end of the Republican Party? No, the Republican Party, like the Democrats, has lied, not told the truth, didn’t fulfill their promises, took us into wars that we didn’t need to be involved with, turned us into Team America, World Police, that’s both sides, tied into the military industrial complex.
Wow, that’s gonna suck if that Republican party’s gone. Watchdog on Wall Street.
