The Base

October 1, 2019

The Republican Party is wearing its base like a pair of cement shoes. Very fitting for a party being led by a Don. The cement shoes will drown the party into oblivion. There is a demographic tsunami coming, and swimming against the tide is impossible. A rising tide lifts all boats unless your boat has a hole in it. The hole is where the heart of the Republican Party used to be.

The question becomes why so many Republicans are willing to go down with the ship. It clearly is not because they have a deep philosophical belief in their cause. That ship sailed a long time ago with deficits, free trade, and respect for our institutions on board. The base represents a shrinking minority of the population. Clearly, Republicans feel that they have no choice despite the fact that the base is weighing them down. It’s time for the Republican Party to get fit for a new pair of shoes, or else they will be swimming with the fishes.
