What happened to the old republican issues? All we hear is "don't vote for the democrats they will impeach Trump". Who cares?

How about these issues?--do the republicans stand for anything?

reducing welfare

tort reform--why not loser pay in the federal court system like the Commonwealth countries have?

reducing all government

balanced budget amendment

free trade

lower cost healthcare

They are a bunch of cowards--afraid of Trump and his democrats and neocons. It is really hard to imagine democrats like Kelly and Navarro in a traditional republican administration. I thought the war hawk neocon John Bolton was finished but Trump has him front and center.

They should at least try to do something around school choice while they have DeVoss at the Department of Education.

First Dunkirk (Bush/McCain/Romney), then the Battle of Britain (everything since then), then D-day (2016), then capturing Berlin.

Right now we're hanging on to Omaha beach.

But I agree with you about the federal department of education. Unless we eliminate that, this battle is fought in vain.

You are a broken record


Lol, as if Federal Courts need a loser pay system. You do realize the requirements to get into federal court, yes? It's not dockets full of soft tissue damage cases.

Most republican adds I have seen are espousing:

Standing with Trump
Border Security
Tax cuts and job aka Economy
frick Nancy Pelosi!

That was the real reason those 2 traitorous douche bags jumped on board with JBE in the last gubernatorial election in LA. Vitter actually wanted tort reform in La which would hamper the good ol boy system in La

Republican platform is jobs, low taxes, enforcing immigration laws.

It's a winning platform. The platform is all about winning.

Dems want Americans to stop winning. They want less jobs, high taxes and open borders.

It's not complicated.

We absolutely need loser pay. Those dockets are crammed with cases that would disappear if both parties faced real risk. The Canadians and Australians have loser pay and the people are doing just fine and litigation and liability cost are MUCH less than in the USA.

Unfortunately, the GOPe just lost a true old Republican in McCain.

Thankfully he was able to save Obamacare before his death!

And oh, fair trade is the BEST free trade!
First the EU, then Mexico, next Canada, and finally China!

I haven't seen it.

They are staying relatively quiet about immigration because voters see they have no solution to offer.

I didn't say low risk. I said BOTH parties have risk.

None of those are Republican issues anymore. Republicans only care about praising Trump and propping up whatever corrupt or ridiculous thing he spouts on his Twitter feed.

hilarious

Trump is definitely pushing actual issues and dems are being reactionary

or, they are pushing radical lunacy (abolish ICE, open borders, impeach, etc)

Give me a break. About the only difference in that Mexican agreement is the wages in US owned car plants in Mexico. Same for what they are demanding from Canada. What Trump is not saying is the tariffs he wants on Canadian automobiles will hit US companies. Wages are not low in Canada but the Canadians do have a better environment in a lot of ways for employers that the US should adopt.
