Maybe the populism fever on the right is about to break

Boy if the Republican takeaway from Tuesday is we need to go back to the Romney and McCain GOP

Good luck in 28

What are "traditional republican policies"?

War? Trump's got that covered.
Spending? Covered.
Funneling tax money to international corporate interests? Covered.
Running his mouth about social issues and never doing anything substantial about it? Yep.

I think the problem isn't populism fever, it's discovering that the entire populism sales job was bullshite all along.

So the Evangelical Christians, not the Catholics who turned heel. Wow.

The takeaway should be to nominate bold conservatives that have success on fiscal issues and fighting woke.

No more McCain/Romney types and no more MAGA RINO populists. Neither of those groups are conservative or dedicated to destroying woke.

Dumping populism doesn't mean going back to that

I think people are just tired of Trump. The rampant corruption and abuse of power, the promises made, promises broken, the immaturity & narcissistic bullshite, not being in touch with reality, terrible administration, the war, the renovations of the white house, etc etc. Right now, the majority of people are going against everything he stands for, and rightfully so.

People want the government to work for them, that's why we pay taxes. Trump isn't working for us, he's all about himself and his family, which isn't the purpose of public service.

Populism is here to stay for a while on both sides.

That’s the only explanation for the wild swings.

We have an ever increasing uneducated electorate on both sides that want instant gratification.

GOP needs to be a lot more of Reagan’s brand.

Of course. Both sides see each other as evil and want a candidate who says they can beat that. Even DeSantis is a populist candidate. The term gets thrown out here so much the people who use it don’t even know what it is.
