John Boehner: 'There is no Republican Party. There's a Trump party'

John Boehner: 'There is no Republican Party. There's a Trump party'
by Melissa Quinn
 | May 31, 2018 11:25 AM

Former House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday there is currently no Republican Party, but rather a “Trump Party.”

The Ohio Republican made the comment during an appearance at the Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island, Mich.

“There is no Republican Party. There’s a Trump party,” Boehner said. “The Republican Party is kind of taking a nap somewhere.”

Boehner resigned from Congress in 2015 amid a looming coup from conservatives in the House to oust him from the speakership.

In April, he joined the board of advisers at Acreage Holdings, one of the country’s largest cannabis corporations.

During his appearance at the Mackinac Policy Conference, Boehner reflected on the results of the 2016 presidential election and said the “two most surprised people in the entire world” the night of the election were Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Boehner an you (apparently) have a completely different definition of 'Repulican' than most Americans do. If you think a Republican is just a moderate Democrat, then you might be Boehner Republican.

Classic country club GOP elitist.  Wants cheap labor to help his stock portfolio, and to hell with what it does to wages for the working class.

Well it can be truly said that there is no opposition party in Washington DC. 

And that was before Trump even got there.

Wait a minute!  That was while Boner here was leading that 'party'!

Drink up and join the Clintons and Obama's Boner.  You are more at home with that bunch as is the majority of the party you "led" into the ground.

You're goddamned right, he is!    :laugh:

I'll bet $$$ that if Donald Trump were to quit the Republican Party tomorrow, and run as a 3rd Party candidate for reelection....he'd win in a freaking landslide.

My bad for not including the gratuitous drug use with the leader of the Choom Gang and Blow by Blow Clintons.

I mean, one DOES get thirsty after an afternoon of snorting, smoking and shooting up.  Nothing smoother than some Scotch to wet the whistle and wash the residue off the teeth and gums.

Wake the hell up.   

That's just common sense.   Normally a POTUS isn't a Lame Duck until the 2nd term...and then usually only the last two years.

A 'Trump Party' would surely consist of more than just himself.

Would be fun to see/watch how many in the GOP would become 'Apostles'....sell everything and follow 'Him'.   @INVAR  :laugh:

Agree.   The "Trump Party" shares some things in common with traditional Republicanism, but on other issues - such as trade and entitlement reform - it is fundamentally different.   Like any populist party, it seeks to keep the goodies going for its constituency, and won't tackle such things as deficits and runaway spending. 

Is a third party the answer, or are traditional Republicans content to being the minority in a populist party?  Obviously, one currently unknowable factor is whether a populist party can continue to win elections, or whether the Trump victory in 2016 was unique and unrepeatable.   One thing is certain - traditional Republicans no longer come close to commanding a majority, and so have to partner with others.   But who?   Conservatives who champion social issues?   Trump-style populists who champion nativism and alt-right racism?   Moderate Dems and libertarians who share traditional Republicans'  goals of economic growth, full employment and entitlement reform, even though they may be more socially liberal than the average Republican?   

This will all crystallize if,  as I believe will be the case,  President Trump declines to run for re-election.  And if he does run,  the presence of a "centrist" third party, as Bobby Jindal has written, may be crucial to Trump's (and populism's) continued success.
