shows there remain economic differences between the two parties. Yet 48 Republicans voted in the process to spend $650 billion on measures including direct cash, jobless aid and child care.He ran for president in 2012 on a platform of slashing taxes, raising the Social Security retirement age and cutting Medicare spending. He picked as his running mate Paul Ryan, the vanguard of traditional fiscal conservatism.
In some ways, Romney is Trump's polar opposite and chief antagonist — the only Republican who voted twice to find him guilty on impeachment charges. But Trump's pro-spending and anti-immigration attitudes created space for the policies Romney is pushing. The idea of using federal power to promote the nuclear family is at the center of this change in GOP policymaking, and a number of other lawmakers like Hawley and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., are seeking to lead in this area.
"There’s a lot more openness from the base to policy proposals that are more populist in nature and are less concerned with kind of orthodox, libertarian conservative economics in some ways," he said."But I also think it’s super easy to overstate the extent to which that’s true." "I think the days of a party exclusively dedicated to deficit hawkishness are waning," this person said."I think you'll see a much larger body of freshmen in 2022 move toward the middle on that issue."
However, some Republicans say Trump's vision on spending actually attracted more voters to the party — mainly disaffected Democrats.
They are evil
🙂😃😄😁😅🤣😂
The Republicans haven't changed they are just looking for votes. They don't care about blue collar workers they just proved that with their vote on covid relief. No matter what color they show on the outside they are still the same on the inside.
Seriously you’re falling for this AGAIN?! They’ve said that every time they lose and NEVER do. Stop being so damned gullible media
Republican follow votes! Look out America, can you trust these republicans who couldn't even be bothered to sign a piece of paper to give you monetary relief after they helped their leader spread a deadly virus all over our nation. Check it out, see who signed on to help people!!
Uh, so the COVID relief bill....
The GOP: We’re the party of working people. Also the GOP: Every Republican member of Congress votes against raising the minimum wage, against providing additional aid to struggling families, against aid to help open schools and ease the burden on working parents. COVID19
Right, how many Republican votes for COVID relief? For an increase in the minimum wage? For potential infrastructure projects? Working class rhetoric sometimes but country-club policies always.
Only if 'populist' means racist
Blue collar? Have you heard one Trumper (cause you know he is going 3rd party) or GOP member supporting unions and labor? Nope. Crickets. Know what you’ll hear tomorrow? Crickets. Odd. Ford built an empire on paying enough to buy the car you built.
The Republicans party fiscal plan is to feed the wealthy and corporate America. Trickle down economics didn’t work and will not work for working class and poor people. Need to tax the wealthy to support working class.
Jesus Christ
They did NOTHING for the blue-collar voters, and they must be reminded on a daily basis!
Any one believing that needs to get in touch with me bec. I have this bridge I'm trying to sell.
Rual whites are the Rs base, so will they adjust to meet their needs? Rs have always ignored these people, they had to benefit from laws the dems passed, like Obamacare. Rs have to come from behind the curtain & acknowledge their base needs help & stop scapegoating black people!
Problem is elected GOP officials are mega rich & don’t relate to working class. All Trump did is a tax break for top 1% who don’t need it,nothing for middle class,decimation of immigration policy procedures,denying ppl to vote,and deep govt corruption to pay the rich. GOP=Facism
What they 'say' and what they do are not the same at all.
The White Trash Party, WTP
Hmm haven't seen it yet, in fact seems like becoming more hardass
Are you serious?
Yada, yada, yada...
Blue collar workers need to listen to the labor unions, not the propaganda of the GOP.
