Fmr. Sen. Danforth: We Cannot Let Trump Redefine the Republican Party

‘The basic function of government is keep this large, complex country together as one nation’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DANFORTH: "No. I think it’s obvious. I mean, if you have a contest, name the most divisive president in history, who else would be competing with this guy? So, no, I think it’s absolutely clear. And I think that’s the issue. I mean, a lot of people when they talk about Trump say, well, we’re for this particular policy or we’re against this particular policy. It’s beyond that. It’s about the basic function of government. The basic function of government is keep this large, complex country together as one nation. And trump is the opposite. He’s dividing us up, and it’s the options of what the Republican Party has been historically. It’s an attempted redefinition of the Republican Party, and we Republicans cannot let that happen."
