Let's bring the Republican party back to what it was in the 1950s
As much as I could agree with this sentiment, the old party is dead. Can't re-animate a corpse, it is full of worms.
Big money lives on though ... like water it continues to flow wherever the cracks and voids permit it, and big dark money will influence and corrupt politics evermore unless we initiate real campaign finance reform.
There is no racial animosity of the right wing. Maybe the .1%ers. But there is a still a lot of racial animosity on the left. Racism is less than it has ever been in this country, certainly against minorities.
LMAO.
Really? Stephen Miller, Richard Spencer, and white nationalist parties ring a bell? They sure don't look like leftists.
Not to mention all the vitriol about immigrants, Muslims, blacks, Hispanics that get posted every day on these forums from right wing posters?
Nah, I like drinking from whatever water fountain I want, and walking through the front door of a building instead of the back door.
Just a reminder.....Republicans never were responsible for Jim Crow. Institutionalization racism was all part of the Democratic Party. Democrats fought every civil
Rights law passed.
In reading the history of political parties, I have come to agree that we need to get back to the roots of the Republican party. I think we need to consider moving the GOP back to what the party stood for several decades ago.
1. Stimulate improved job safety of our workers, through assistance to the States, employees and employers
2. Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers
3. Strengthen and improve the Federal-State Employment Service ad improve the effectiveness of the unemployment insurance system
4. Protect by law, the assets of employee welfare and benefit plans so that workers who are the beneficiaries can be assured of their rightful benefits
5. Assure equal pay for equal work regardless of Sex
6. Federally-assisted construction, and maintain and continue the vigorous administration of the Federal prevailing minimum wage law for public supply contracts
7. Extend the protection of the Federal minimum wage laws to as many more workers as is possible and practicable
8. Continue to fight for the elimination of discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry or sex
9. Provide assistance to improve the economic conditions of areas faced with persistent and substantial unemployment
10. Revise and improve the Taft-Hartley Act so as to protect more effectively the rights of labor unions, management, the individual worker, and the public
11. the protection of the right of workers to organize into unions and to bargain collectively is the firm and permanent policy of the Eisenhower Administration
Let's start to consider GOP candidates that are true to the historical views of the party, as defined above.
I'm with you. As a Democrat, I feel sorry for Republicans having had their party hijacked, transforming it to such a shameful extreme that prominent Republicans are speaking out against their own party's president. I hope that they get back on the right track, but I think that only a Biden landslide would trigger that.

The Republican Party is not radicalized. The positions of rank and file republicans is the same as it has been for decades. Small government, low taxes, reduced regulation and law and order. These are the popular republican positions that have been around since the sixties and seventies. Donald Trump however is a populist who has gained the presidency calling himself a Republican. He is very different from most Republicans. He is not a true conservative and he does not live the values of a conservative. I have never been happy he is our man right now. I would prefer Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush had won the nomination in 16. Many of us conservatives see what Trump is....we get it and we are not happy that we are stuck with him. I would not however vote for any democrat for ANY reason considering the radical socialist path they have taken. At this rate Trump could murder someone on Pennsylvania Avenue and I would still vote for him to prevent the socialist agenda from being advanced.
