this is why the modern day GOP is so far gone from its "base" and why we see most politicians who follow the "America first" stance that Trump popularized are getting massive support. Thats what the majority of the country's citizens want.

Modern day GOP is way too concerned with optics -- optics that the democratic party/elites control with MSM and Big Tech.

I do think Elder is more 'America First' than not but he like most GOP feel like they have to play by the rules that the other party set ...and thats where the issue starts. You think the Dems would care at all if they flamed the otherside? Hell they had TWO sham impeachment trials based off of half truths, fabricated lies and misinformation they created.
