'Woke Reich'

The 2016 Republican primary was a battle over whether the Republican Party would stay the same or take a new direction. Representing continuity were candidates such as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz, while Donald Trump represented a sharp departure from the party’s past, especially regarding foreign policy. After sixteen years of Bush and Obama, and Mitt Romney’s failure to win in 2012, Republican voters chose a new path— for the party and untimely for the nation. Many Republicans who had supported the other candidates reluctantly rallied behind Trump, while others vowed to NEVER support him, creating a lasting fracture within the party. How is that fracture manifesting itself today, nearly a year into Trump’s second term? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #358.
