“This is Called the Republican Party, Not the Conservative Party”
Having fled the GOP in 2000 because of the hijacking of the GOP by the conservatives, I love this line from Donald to Ryan over the weekend.

The Republican Party has been a Conservative party for a little over 100 years and has been the party of big business since Reconstruction.

He has to make that loud and clear while contemplating taxing the 1%.

yeah, God forbid the 1% have to pay more tax. When Joe 6 pack makes his billions it will really suck so he'd rather pay more now and leave the rich alone for when he joins!

who's that party I see on the ballot all the time that says conservative on it then?

Somehow I never think of Rockefeller and Cruiz as having the same ideology...

HIS OWN tax bracket is supposed to drop from 39% to 25%.............

Who could've seen THAT coming?

It would be nice to see $25k and below not have to pay anything, though.

I just don't think the plan is realistic at all, however. Especially coupled with his debt plan. Longer term loans and less tax revenue.........

How is that supposed to work?

The GOP is traditionally right of center. Conservative is much further right.

The Rockefellers are Democrats and no sensible human being shares ideology with Ted Cruz.
