What would Republicans like Abraham Lincoln, Dwight Eisenhower, and even Ronald Reagan think of Donald Trump and how he has taken over the Republican Party? I can just hear Ronald Reagan saying, “There you go again.”
I would think they would be appalled. Instead of Res Publica (public things) he has turned the party into Rex Donald. It’s all about him, the public be damned.
I was a Republican precinct finance chair when Reagan was nominated, I voted for John Anderson. I kept my party position next year (coming in third again in money collected). But I haven’t voted for a Republican since except Arne Carlson twice.
I really don’t care to vote for Democrats, but the current Republican Party doesn’t give me much choice. Staying away is not an option.
