An anonymous Revolver.NEWS ink stained wretch on whether Donald Trump
regrets not using his bully pulpit against Mitch McConnell and Paul
Ryan in 2017: <URL:https://www.revolver.news/2021/05/paul-ryan-reagan-library-speech-donald-trump/>
| To the average Republican of today, the name "Jack Kemp" only evokes
| Bob Dole's running mate in his failed 1996 campaign. But while Ryan
| praises Kemp for his "respect for the rule of law," Kemp was among
| the foremost open borders Republicans of his day (and thus a worthy
| tutor to Paul Ryan). He opposed making any cuts at all to
| immigration, and was a major public opponent of California's Prop
| 187, the highly-popular measure to deny state services to illegal
| immigrants. In 1995, Kemp denounced his fellow party members for
| opposing affirmative action, bizarrely saying that treating all
| people equally "separates people by race and gender."

Is Trump's legislative affairs team picking his endorsements for
the 2022 midterms?

"Yes--not defending Cheney because that bloodline is as disgraceful
as the Bush line but this really is about Republicans fighting over
privileges and donors and pride. The party still sucks, Trump is
still an awful figurehead (see endorsements), and something new is
yet needed" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1392503587289321474>
