WHAT THE GOP NEEDS TO DO!

"Republicans are damn fools to pursue any kind of DACA fix. The fate of the young illegals in this country are not our problem. Republicans need to review and memorize the set answers which former US Senator and Presidential contender Rick Santorum gave to a young illegal pleading for her “right” to stay in this country. Republicans should let the program sunset without further acclaim, then pass the RAISE Act, limiting legal immigration and granting Americans priority in their country’s workforce. Republicans need to push funding for the border wall without delay.

Second, Republicans need to tout the successes of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and find the most creative ways to do so, forcing the corrupt, anti-American media to report on these victories. Instead of allowing the false narrative “all corporations are bad” to dominate the news, they need to fight back and drum up heavy media attention on the economic victories for working Americans. President Trump’s rallies have harnessed the media’s attention on the plight and now victories of working families. Those kinds of victories will fight the false plutocrat narrative pushed by the left.

On this point, I would submit that Republicans in Congress are pushing back at the “Greedy GOP” narrative. Trump was not ashamed of his wealth while running for President. Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee  Orrin Hatch briefly dominated Twitter’s hashtags and headlines when he slammed progressive leftist US Senator Sherrod Brown over the Democrats’ hollow class warfare “crap”. Hatch was born in the working class, but worked his way up to prosperity and political opportunity. Those accomplishments are nothing to be ashamed of. After signing the landmark legislation, Trump reminded the reporters in the standing-room-only Oval Office that Americans will see the benefits immediately. Good, but make sure to remind everyone as much as possible, Mr. President.

(Also remind them that your net worth has reduced as a result of being President, unlike others who have greatly benefitted financially as President.)

Third, conservatives and Republicans need to demonize the Democrats for voting against tax cuts, the repeal of the hated Obamacare individual mandate, and the expansion of job opportunities for all Americans. Happy voters are great, but angry voters will go the extra distance to cast their ballots against the political party which they view as inimical to their best interests.

Fourth, and this part is for the long haul: conservatives need to forcefully confront the anti-capitalist narrative on college campuses. These riled-up Millennials and post-college graduates are driving the anti-wealth media fraud about the GOP Tax Reform package. Helping corporations expand and grow is good for the economy, and inequality does not matter when even the poorest among us are more prosperous. Conservative activists need to understand that the anti-Trump media is not gone yet. Angry progressives and feisty, demanding Democrats have not stopped, either, and economic prosperity alone won’t change minds about President Trump or Congressional Republicans." Authur Schaper
