Detailing the ever-changing former bedrocks of the Republican party platform — “free trade, fiscal restraint, nation-building” — Latimer argues that all but one of the GOP’s defining issues have been “thrown out of a golden Trump Tower window with barely a word of dissension.” The one exception is Trump’s tax plan that even the president’s own Treasury Secretary has conceded will benefit the wealthy.
“Once signed into law, the Republican tax cut plan will give billions of dollars back to nearly every member and supporter of the GOP establishment,” Latimer writes. “To D.C. Republicans, that’s well worth enduring a crazy tweet every now and again, or mouthing support for a wall that will never be built, or nodding agreement about a trade war that will never come to pass, or even standing witness to scary games of one-upmanship with crazy dictators.”
And once the president signs that order, Republicans “will finally have an achievement to run on as they seek reelection in 2018.”
“After that, the investigative team assembled by special counsel Robert Mueller can do its worst,” he concludes. “Mueller would actually be doing GOP leaders a favor.”
