The Republican Party of 2015 is the antithesis of the principled and conservative party of 1980. Led by a Speaker of the House who is as likely to cry as he is to make back-room deals with liberal socialists, the GOP is on a steady, downward spiral of cowardice and corruption. The campaign promises that swept Republicans into power in the House and Senate has fallen to the wayside like a mask withdrawn to reveal the ugly, twisted features beneath. The intense and explosive frustration of conservative voters stems from the helpless witnessing of a once conservative party gone mad with a lust for power, money and more big government. This vicious cycle of lies, evasions and calumniations to gain majority seats only to spit in the faces of those …show more content…
An American society sick and tired of political correctness, the vilification of manliness, countless degradations of the American culture and an insulting replacement of American values with foreign practices have catapulted Trump into the stratosphere. His strategy is simple.He has cast aside the careful and politically correct considerations of past and present candidates while attacking liberal agendas with accuracy and zest. The level of desperation for a candidate who is willing to face down the bias of media reporting, vicious attacks from the left and the failed promises of a party that is supposed to represent the conservative ideals of the majority, is both frightening and loud. Regrettably, the GOP has now joined the chorus of leftist assaults on …show more content…
This fact, coupled with the GOP attacks on Trump, reveal a Republican party that is embracing a voting block that ignorantly or knowingly supports the immoralities of the left. The GOP will never capture even a luke-warm percentage of the Hispanic vote regardless of all the shameful pandering and treasonous affiliations with the left. Willful ignorance combined with the corruption of money and power have joined to form a party no longer in touch with the constituents responsible for their political appointments. Gone are the days of Reagan conservatism. However, a light has flickered to life at the end of the tunnel with Trump 's continued success. While Trump may not personify all of the full ideology of a conservative candidate, his hard-edged stance on illegal immigration has created a massive wave of success for his campaign ambitions. The American people are fed-up, the Republican Party has been shamefully unveiled and for now, Trump seems to be the only
However, he has proved credibility by defeating every other candidate running in the election as a Republican, many of whom are experienced and have been in the political world for decades. He has also switched the minds of American citizens by convincing them to join the Republican Party. Furthermore, he has had successful achievements in the business industry. Similar to how Mike Pence transformed Indiana’s economy, Trump has changed
(1575)A Political Analysis of the Hardliner Conservative Strategy of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky in the Mid-Term Elections This political analysis will define the strategic use of the Conservative hardliner strategy as the re-election theme of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky in the 2014 Mid-Term elections. Senator McConnell is a member of the Republican Party, which often espouse free market values for corporate interests, low taxes for the upper classes, and the diminishment of government regulation in business affairs. However, McConnell has been working to resolve economic issues of class disparity, which involve promoting women’s rights and other democratic values as part of his re-election campaign as the leader of the Minority
Political Parties DBQ Political parties have been a controversial topic for a long time, even when the United States were just beginning. However, in the early days of the United States political parties were not the best thing for the new government. The parties often caused rivalries to form, and people could end up hating others just because they had different political ideas. Political parties would make people lie; they would cause people to get hurt; the government would also be negatively affected. Political parties in the early United States caused people to lie.
January 20th 2017 marked the day that president elect Donald Trump took his oath to office. Perhaps one of the most controversial electoral processes in the history of the United States’ presidency, the possible implications of Donald Trump’s leadership will most likely make this one for the history books. His speech seemed surprisingly reasonable, astonishingly efficient, and very impactful in comparison to what many were expecting from him, because of the negative and possible detrimental image he has created in the minds of many Americans. Regardless, Donald Trump delivered a strong, decisive speech using unifying diction, well directed symbolism and varied syntax. Trump’s primary goal was to identify himself more intricately with the
In his untitled gun control and gun rights cartoon, Chris Britt establishes an accusatory tone using critical irony and a macabre diction to condemn the national threat disregarded by the Republican Party for ignorantly advocating unregulated licensing of guns. Chris Britt evidently displays, in his work, a frustrated sentiment towards the American federal government, specifically addressing the Republican Party. Deliberately, Chris Britt labeled the gun store as “GOP Guns and Gore” and highlighting that the store is “Open 24-7”. Bluntly, Britt specified “GOP” (“Grand Old Party”), interchangeably corresponding to the Republican Party, to emphasize his personal disdain against their party platform. Indisputably, through irony, Chris Britt exhibits
Party strength is a measure of the ability of a party to get people to vote for its candidates. The post-World War II shift in party strength was part of a massive shift in policy over time. Scholars saw Republican politicians increasingly excel at getting elected at the local level (Lublin 2006), to offices in the state (Hayes and McKee 2007), and federal governments (Black and Black 2002, 1992; Shafer and Johnston 2006). It is difficult to see how the Republican Party would have become the majority in Congress in 1994 without the increased voting strength in the South. This marked a dramatic shift in national policy.
The Republican Party in Philadelphia has not won a mayor's race since 1951. It is said that the future of the Republican Party in Philadelphia is not a competition for Democrats since more people prefer democrats instead of Republicans. While polls prove more people prefer Democrats, I believe Republicans can still stand a chance in being elected. Even though more than half of the voters believe republicans are against helping the middle class and focus only on the rich class, many people are complaining about high taxes and a poor economy. Republicans can assuage this issue.
I personally feel I am more of a Democrat than a Republican. American Politics The two major political parties of the United States are the Democrats and the Republicans. There are also third parties such as the Constitution party, the Green party, the Independent party, and the Libertarian party. The Democratic and the Republican Party constantly compete with each other trying to promote their political ideals and searching the means for maintaining their continuous political leadership.
The last Republican Revolution occurred ten years ago, and it turned off the voters. Moderate Republicans in Congress, especially from the Northeast, will play an important role in holding off extremist legislation. A Republican-appointed Supreme Court may chip away at Roe v. Wade but is not likely to reverse it; the Court may also find itself forced to find some middle ground on the civil union issue. Arlen Specter, as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, can be expected to resist the appointment of ideological conservatives, if only to minimize Democratic filibusters. Democrats who wanted to do away with the electoral college after Al Gore’s win of the popular vote in 2000 may feel more subdued after George Bush’s three-and-a-half million
It’s that time again, election time! Time for both Democrats and Republicans to debate and campaign for what they believe and stand for. This can bring up a lot of serious issues that both parties have different views on. Everybody has a different opinion and some believe that the Republican party has offended minorities in America, Latino’s, homosexuals, women, etc. There is a reason for this and not just an offensive generalization.
The Republican Party was founded in 1854, by anti-slavery activists and members of the Whig Party, and it is referred as Grand Old Party or GOP. The Republican Party is known in supporting issues, such as, socially conservative policies, free market capitalism, opposing regulation and labor unions. During the history there have been eighteen Republican U.S. Presidents, but in this essay I am going to focus on only six of them divided into two periods of time; three Republican presidents of 1920s and the first three Republican presidents elected after World War II. The first three presidents of the 1920s period of time are named Warren Harding, Calving Coolidge, and the last one Herbert Hoover. A similarity between these three Republican presidents
I consider myself to lean fairly liberal on almost all issues. By fault of my generation or birthplace or the media I regularly consume, I have become a democrat, through and through. Yet this summer, I found myself racing across the Iowa State Fair in search of the antithesis of all things progressive: Donald Trump. My mother grew up in Iowa, and I’ve spent almost every summer creek stomping and biking around the corn capital of the world.
He has created a divide in the country resulting in the conservative and liberal. He has given the alt-right a voice and allowed their privilege to thrive, while hurting lower class people, people of color, the LGBTQ community, females, and many others. This divide has been within the country since before its formation, but 241 years later, Trumps actions while in office still aim to advance this dichotomy in our
Fallacies in political speeches: Donald Trump announces he is running for president. Donald Trump’s one very distinct “ability” is making a vast amount of people react to what he says. Be it good or bad, this makes him gain more attention not only in the United States, but all over the world. At the end of the day, what really matters is if his statements have, in fact, any effect on people’s votes. So for those who are not yet sure about his sincerity, it only takes a not to deep analysis of his speeches to spot serious fallacies.
In my paper, I will analyse Donald Trump’s political activities before and after the election to get an objective viewpoint of America’s President. We’ll start off with the history of Trump, both personal and political, to see whether there was some sort of significant development over the years indicating a tendency towards ‘good or evil’. Next, we will take a look at what Donald Trump promised to do – the wall, lowering taxes and repealing Obamacare to name a few – and evaluate if he managed to keep his election pledges. This success rate is a major factor in definitively assessing Trump’s influence on America.
