GOP’s Problems Will Only Get Worse After Election
Josh Kraushaar: Republican leaders are choosing to pretend that these differences dont exist, preferring to naively proclaim that Trump will embrace Paul Ryans conservative agenda if hes elected president. Thats not what his voters signed up for. Its why Trumps rote espousal of more-traditional GOP positions, such as his economic speech at the Detroit Economic Club on Monday, will fall flat.
More likely, he will continue to use his outsize public platform to settle old scores. He might even try and launch his own television network to broadcast the populism that propelled his candidacy. Hes not going away, and neither are his core voters. The only question is whether more traditional GOP leaders have the charisma and credibility to bring Trump partisans into a new-look GOP, or whether his supporters will continue to stir up trouble within the party.
