The Democratic Party propaganda machine, more commonly known as the mainstream media, has been gushing over the establishment Republicans who appeared at the Democratic National Convention to denounce President Trump and endorse Joe Biden, but as last night’s Republican National Convention showed, the days of the Republican Party being a pale shadow of the Democrats are over. In 2020, as in 2016 but not for a considerable period before that, we actually have a choice, not an echo, as Barry Goldwater offered America way back in 1964.
As Rating America’s Presidents: An America-First Look at Who Is Best, Who Is Overrated, and Who Was An Absolute Disaster demonstrates, the United States has been under the control of what is essentially a one-party system in two factions since at least the early 1950s. One of the most damaging aspects of the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the first Republican president since the onset of the Great Depression, was his refusal to challenge the basic premises of the New Deal. That’s how we got into this fix.
The Eisenhower administration was generally a period of great prosperity. However, after twenty years of New Deal expansion of the government, it was widely expected by observers from both parties that Eisenhower would at least attempt to fight the leviathan and diminish the gargantuan and ever-growing federal government. Instead, he did little to halt the expansion of federal power. He resisted numerous measures that would have repealed or rolled back New Deal programs. He was determinedly bipartisan, going along with numerous Democratic initiatives, even when they involved the centralization that he warned against. In 1954, he stated his guiding philosophy: “I have just one purpose, outside of the job of keeping this world in peace…and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it. If they want to leave the Republican Party and form a third party, that’s their business, but before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won’t be with them anymore.”

Ugh....ugh ugh...
Good!
As it should be!
The old guard / establishment/ political dynasties a-la “house of Clinton” and “house of bush” need to go away. We the lowly unwashed masses of deplorables and commoners have had enough of political royalty
They are more worthless than the democrats are. All our corrupt COWARDS that without Mommy and daddy wouldn't have shit.
They weren't really Republicans. Reagan was the last good Republican leader.
I wish they all were already dead!
Rino traitors!
Sincerely hope GW Bush is enjoying his time in hell!
McCain too!
George P Bush is out there. Punched all political necessities....he is Jebs son...Hispanic vote in the near future.
McConnell, MCCARTHY, Graham, that bitch in Maine. There's so many POS Rinos that should be called out. Yet Fox news continue to give these COWARDS air time for lip service.
Trump to the rescue!
Four more years! Four more years! Four more years of Trump and America will be getting foreign aid from Rowanda!
Jen Bush was a dummy hanging on to his family's successes. What a cry baby during his campaign. I don't know why Florida liked him so much. Must have been a puppet for a better Republican.
I’m so impressed with the young and upcoming people speaking at the RNC. We are the party of the future. The Democrats dinosaurs are stuck on stupid and don’t have an original thought in their head.
