The same “conservatives” who say that the Party of Reagan is being overtaken by former President Donald Trump and his followers are actually the ones who didn’t support Reagan during both his campaigns in ’76 and ’80 and then his presidency. The list is too numerous to reveal fully but Karl Rove, the Bush family, Mitch McConnell, the writers at Bulwark, Lincoln Project, etc. are just a few of the many culprits.
Whether you support former President Trump, Governor DeSantis, Sen. Tom Cotton, Sen. Ted Cruz or someone else in the upcoming 2024 election, just remember that the establishment and D.C. swamp will trash anyone in the race who doesn’t toe the GOP party line.
Reagan was the true outsider, and as we saw during the Trump presidency, anyone who runs an outsider or populist campaign putting the individual first will have to avoid the political landmines set forth by the cronies. Understanding history is a powerful tool regardless of the era.
