New party

The selection of JD Vance as Trump's VP confirms the belief that this is more than an election, it is a movement. Trump has changed the republican party in fundamental ways. The old concepts of reorganizing social security and Medicare are no longer part of the platform. Balancing the budget is no longer a top priority. Foreign wars are out. Big business is out. The party is now the party of the working people not the elites. Globalization is kaput and bringing jobs home is the new deal. Free trade is replaced with countries who do not tilt the playing field. The New Green Deal is replaced with energy independence. What remains of the old is lower taxes, strong national defense, secure borders and the second amendment.
