Are we the party of Donald J. Trump or are we the party of the ideals of conservative philosophy, market principle, limited government that we've always been about for a long time?

We now have a Republican Party that is muted and silent on the issue of a bailout package which is what is being proposed in consequence to the tariffs that the administration itself imposed.
That which has traditionally worked in GOP politics isn't so much working these days. I've seen this erosion, you have too.
The conservative movement, in your view, you write, 'represented by the Republican Party had devolved into a lukewarm mess.'
It shows the danger of Donald Trump in my mind, because what it says is somebody as highly elected as Kevin McCarthy will twist himself in knots to stay relevant with the Trump base.
