Veteran strategist Stuart Stevens says the Republican party's support for President Trump reflects a complete abandonment of principles it long claimed to embrace — such as fiscal restraint and personal responsibility.

, who was the chairman of the party then, and there's a lot of credit for initiating that so-called autopsy. It's always difficult to be self-critical. And what's fascinating about that is the conclusions were fairly obvious. You had to appeal more to nonwhite, yet appeal more to younger voters who had to appeal more to women.

Of Americans 15 years and under, the majority are nonwhite. ... And what does that mean for the Republican Party? It's just a stage 4 cancer warning and the party gives no reason that it's going to change. So I see the Republican Party, [what will] happening nationally, as what happens to the Republican Party in California. So California was the beating heart and soul of the Republican Party. It was an electoral citadel that we based all victory on. And now where's the Republican Party? It's in third place, not second, third [in registration]. ... And the Republican Party, really, for the most part, became irrelevant in the debate of policy in California.

There is a market for a center-right party and a need for it in America. I think something else will evolve. But to get a sense of how deep Trumpism is instilled, there's another Republican Party out there and that's these governors. So if you look at these very popular governors in blue states like [Larry] Hogan in Maryland, Charlie Baker, Massachusetts, Phil Scott here in Vermont, I work for all these guys.

TDS. No evidence is given for his allegations against Trump.... nor his praise for Mitt Romney.. if all people. We don’t care about power except to use it to sustain American opportunities.

Trump signed The VA MISSION Act, which works to integrate the VA healthcare system while providing Veterans with more choices in their healthcare options. There are now 3 initiatives to expand access to healthcare for veterans using telehealth technology.

This is the underlying message of realDonaldTrump's presidency: not that he is a morally corrupt human being, but that the GOP knows it, accepts it, and most important, willingly enables it. Thus, we now know that the GOP is just as corrupt as we knew Trump was.

Its been my problem with Trump all along. There is no more Republican Party as the party does not follow any of its Principles anymore, especially on the fiscal side of government. Its now the Trump Party.

President Trump is battling Sex trafficking and Child pornography. You NPR and your leftist cohorts have said nothing. For which of these good things are you attempting to remove him!

As a liberal, I think it's important to our nation that the Republican party abandon Trump, return to its conservative principles, and renovate themselves from there.

is the new National Communist Radio.

Turns out Trump holds more leftist principles

Keyword: Claimed. The press rarely challenges their abject hypocrisy.

Like this is news.

The parties used to represent different classes. Now, they represent different races. Stuart Stevens hasn't caught up with the change.

Repulicans against Trump

This is absurd. The alternative would be to support the Democrats. A Republican isn’t going to abandon their beliefs and vote for a Democrat b/c they don’t like Trump.

What we have learned is that the Republican Party never had any principals to begin with, other than coddling the already wealthy. Everything else is just talking points informed by wind direction.

bruh it took you this long to figure that out?

Carrying water for DNC again NPR? NPR: Socialism. Manipulation & gaslighting. Racism & identity politics. This is NPR. DefundNPR

All because Americans elected a black president - twice.

Why won’t this retweet?

“It was all a lie”. This should be ALL over social media, tv and the internet. Of course, reasonable and observant ppl have known this for a while.
