Make the GOP brave again
By Anthony Gonzalez
Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, and Donald Trump. These are the names of Republican leaders who have had the political will to do what it takes to win elections and fundamentally change our nation for good.
Dwight Eisenhower, a former World War II general, who was in charge of the Normandy landings (D-Day), created the Interstate Highway System, which has allowed for easier transportation throughout the years.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter was elected president. Inflation soared, gas prices soared, and Americans were taken hostage by Iran. Quite analogous to today. The American people had had enough and turned to a former California governor and actor, Ronald Reagan. Back then, the GOP was willing to back Ronald Reagan even if they felt he was too "radical." Under Reagan's presidency, the Cold War ended, gas prices abated, inflation went down, and a cornucopia of jobs was added.
Fast-forward to 2016: Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. The American people saw themselves in President Trump, someone who wasn't afraid to say what was on his mind, someone who wasn't afraid to talk down to career politicians.
What happened to the GOP?
