Dear GOP leadership. Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama won’t tell you this so I will. Your presidential nominee Donald Trump is not the Republican you think he is. He is not a war hawk, a fiscal conservative, or certainly not a social conservative. To put it bluntly Donald Trump is an agent for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrats. Remember back in 2009 when several of you held a meeting (The Caucus Room Conspiracy) to determine what the GOP would do during Obama’s administration? Out of that alleged meeting came a strategy to oppose every initiative that the Obama administration undertook no matter what affect it would have on the country. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s proclamation, “...my number one job is to make Barack Obama a one term president…” was the start of unprecedented filibusters, obstruction, and obduracy on a level we had never seen before.
This strategy brought you success in the 2010 elections. Now all you needed to do was to sweep the 2012 election to include the presidency. However Barack Obama was on the ticket in 2012 which meant that his secret weapon Donald Trump would be out in force. Take a look back at the 2012 campaign and see who always popped up when things were looking bleak for Obama and when Romney was catching fire.
Well you lost the 2012 election for presidency and needed to change things. You commissioned a study to find answers to ensure success in the 2016 election. The Growth and Opportunity Project produced a hard hitting diagnosis of what was going wrong with the Republican Party in presidential elections. Although you did great in the off-year elections you needed to improve some things in order to take back the White House and control all branches of government. The recommendations from this report would be implemented and help guarantee success.
Not only did Republicans see the recommendations the entire world got the see them. Although publishing the results was a noble act on your part and we all understand that you wanted the groups you needed to engage to know that you would be making changes and reaching out to them, and that you would take every effort to reach them in order to grow your voter base.
Let’s fast forward to the 2016 campaign. Donald Trump is now your presidential nominee. You have been scratching your head trying to figure out how in the hell this could have happened. Lindsey Graham said it well, “...how am I losing to these people…?” It’s called sabotage. Just like the sabotage that you wreaked upon the Obama Administration’s initiatives over the past 7 years. The team of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and the Democrats has been quite effective. The team figured out a long time ago that the recommendations of your Growth and Opportunity Project are not accepted by the base of the Republican Party. For years the Republican Party has been used to hide extreme views and extremists. Extremism is one of the key results found in the autopsy report that needed to be addressed. The GOP base is not accepting of outreach to some of the groups you need in order to grow the party.
Donald Trump as a double agent has done his job very well. He does everything your report recommended not doing and he does it in the way your base loves; Extreme! You should have known Donald Trump was an actor and a very good actor. You should have known that reaching out to different groups like Hispanics and Gays wasn’t something that your base would like. Did you not hear their rhetoric? Donald Trump represents to your base everything they hate about your Growth and Outreach Project and he plays that role well. To your chagrin Donald Trump is also forcing you to live your worst nightmare; repulsion of the general electorate. Things like wheeling out Sarah Palin who the General electorate loathes and openly aligning himself with fringe ideologies and theories are just a few of his extreme actions.
Next time GOP leaders keep the results of your therapy sessions private. Resist the urge to publish everything. There are some smart people out there that will use that information against you. I know you want to believe your base and think that Barack Obama is dumb and Hillary Clinton is a criminal. These are imaginary figures and I would have thought that after Mitt Romney ran his campaign against an imaginary Barack Obama in 2012 and lost badly that you would have learned your lesson. Instead you spent all of this money on something that your base would rebel against and now you are stuck with the worse outcome in your nominee.
