I have not heard Trump talk about how he is going to “end” the GOP elite.
Not sure how he can.
I hope Trump really does understand what he is getting into, and what to do about it.
Trump isn’t going to ‘end’ them. WE! WE! will end them. We will do this because they’ve shown us over and over and over again they are, in fact, worse enemies to us than Democrats. Lying liar, backstabber, featherbedding politicians only interested in themselves and their feathered bed. WE will end them. Trump is along for the ride on that point.
Trump is “ending” the GOPe by existing and winning.
He has changed the game by bringing up most of the policies that large majorities of the voters want, but were “off the table” by political correctness, media agenda, and elite social engineering.
The ability to support those policies mean that candidates that support them will now have a chance at federal power.
Voters could already elect them to state office; fairly often as federal members of the House; occasionally as members of the Senate; only once since FDR as president (Reagan).
Now the state level officials will have decent shots at the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
And, they may be able to keep from being corrupted once they get there.
We will see.
Policies that were “off the table”:
Stopping illegal immigration and deportation of existing illegals.
Supporting the Second Amendment in reality instead of merely lip service
Ensuring that so-called “free trade” is not a one-way street that gives enormous advantages to our competitors
Unabashedly putting American interests first
Getting the budget actually under control instead of simply continuing to pile up debt
Removing the insane power of the EPA and the department of Education
Actively fighting the media, instead of accepting their agenda and their information flow.
Of course, a restoration of American military power never was “off the table”, but it is vitally important to the country, and brings a fair number of the GOPe to his side.
He's going to make great deals, amazing deals, wonderful deals.
