Carlos Curbelo: If the Republican Party Wants To Be a Majority Party Going Forward, It Can’t Follow Donald Trump

‘It must certainly learn from Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

CURBELO: "Kasie, this is an important point, because if the Republican Party wants to be a majority party going forward, it can’t follow Donald Trump, but it must certainly learn from Donald Trump. I think Donald Trump taught Republicans one thing. That a major political party cannot only appeal to narrow corporate interests and then do some window dressing and make up the difference. That a majority major party must also be popular and must appeal to a broader swathe of people. Now, Trump did that with cultural issues. Trump did that by sowing resentment, anger and hatred in society. Can the Republicans of tomorrow do that by putting together an honest, sincere agenda that actually improves quality of life for most people in this country? Can the Republican Party turn away from its past of catering to only narrow corporate interest and from Trumpism and all of the decay that it has provoked in the society? That is the question.”
