The Republican Playbook for the Future

[DrHuk&Duck]

A few quick thoughts on the future of conservatism and on how to replicate the success of this election for future generations of Republicans.

1. Identity Politics - The future racial demographics of the United States shows the white population will be less than 50% by 2050. Whether we like it or not, ethnic and racial diversity will need to be considered by future administrations. I believe that the Trump/Vance will be the last white male president/vice president combo elected. Additionally, more than 50% of US voters are women. The Republican Party must make an effort to have a more prominent role for women in the future.

2. Isolationism - I believe that America needs to stay out of international affairs as much as possible with the exception of self-defense, trade and humanitarianism.

3. Libertarianism - I believe we should emphasize individual autonomy and freedom—even if we don’t necessarily religiously agree with some of the principles involved.

4. Jimmy Carter’s Moral Compass - I believe future administrations should put a sharper focus on the inclusion of human rights in foreign policy. This focus not only serves to help maintain peace, but also leads to more normalized diplomatic free trade abroad.

The Trump Economy - Made in America. I think future administrations should emphasize a strong shift in keeping production in America by imposing exorbitant tariffs on products made overseas, and also cutting corporate taxes in the United States.

Trump increased the national debt in 4 years more than all the previous presidents. His GDP was lower than Obama's. Here's an honest, reality check:

I’d like to see Sarah Huckabee Sanders on a ticket, whether as president or vice president.

Tim Scott - yes.

Rick Scott - not a big fan

Yes, Tim.

Rick has earned his senator position respectably though, right?

 

[DrHuk&Duck]

Yes, Tim.

Rick has earned his senator position respectably though, right?

Prior to his political career, he had some very questionable business dealings, although he claimed to be the victim of a witch-hunt. https://amp.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article288431251.html

On a separate note, plenty of Floridians (Republicans included) have felt he’s not been the most effective representative of the state. I still voted for him, but I took no joy in it.

OK, I should have said "in 4 years". Go back to your sandbox.

The most important thing Republicans need to worry about is how they will stop Joe Biden in 2028. He just may have the greatest political comeback in American history.

Will he be running the campaign from his room in the nursing home? Or will he be like so many post-mortem democratic voters?

if that;s the concern... then when he dies they should follow the republican morticians practice of the 1880s and put him in a deep hole - head first and face down... .. that way it will be very difficult for him climb out of the grave and vote on election days....... ....not impossible though... as some texas democrats managed to vote 6 decades post cremation - their ashes thrown to the wind .... . but certainly a lot harder.....

I think historians will judge Trumps first term as of Jan 1 2020, just like unexpected wars a president (Trump or Biden) can not take the blame for a global pandemic.

Now that he is soon to be out of office and likely out of public life I am going to try to only speak kindly of him as I would anyone else suffering with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.

i understand the sentiment.... but i respectfully disagree...... ... once a person enters public life.... and especially when their actions have the kinds of effects on others and even on the world that a presidents actions have... . ..they have subjected themselves to scrutiny and criticism from that moment on - into eternity...... and even after death........ ....we hold such people up as good examples if what they did was good - in order to inspire others... .. and we use them as bad examples if what they did was wrong so as to serve as a warning for others...... ....it;s the price of fame... and also the price of power.....

Yes - I was trying to get the IFB green alien to read the fact check article in context, but he didn’t seem capable.

"Treasury Department data shows the gross federal debt rose by about $7.8 trillion on Trump’s watch. But that wasn’t the biggest increase of any president in raw dollars.

The record for the largest increase was set by President Barack Obama, with more than $9.5 trillion.

One caveat: Obama’s figure is larger than Trump’s partly because Obama served eight years, while Trump served four.

If you adjust the measurement for that reality by looking at debt accumulated per year in office, Trump does stand alone."

Did Trump rack up more debt than any other president?
