This IS evident…
And could cause the Grand ole’ Party heartburn internally and grief come the midterms as Democrats and Biden begin to ride a comeback of the economy….
For what it’s worth….
Axios lays out the memo’s info which is a plan for the House GOPer’s future going into the 2022 midterm elections….
The memo comes from the House conservative wing…
On a flight Tuesday from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne, Ind., two leaders in the House Republican conference discussed a memo that argues that their party’s future demands they “embrace our new coalition” because “President Trump’s gift didn’t come with a receipt.”
Why it matters: The document, titled “Cementing GOP as the Working Class Party,” leaves no doubt that Republicans — at least in the House of Representatives — will be doubling down on Donald Trump for the foreseeable future.
Behind the scenes: On the afternoon flight between fundraisers, home state Rep. Jim Banks, who leads the largest bloc of House conservatives, the Republican Study Committee, handed his memo to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
- Banks argues in the memo that “both parties are undergoing coalitional transformations” and that Republicans shouldn’t fight the trend of corporate donors pulling back from the GOP.
- “Our electoral success in the 2022 midterm election will be determined by our willingness to embrace our new coalition,” the memo says. “House Republicans can broaden our electorate, increase voter turnout, and take back the House by enthusiastically rebranding and reorienting as the Party of the Working Class.”
- “There is an embittered and loud minority in the GOP that finds our new coalition distasteful, but President Trump’s gift didn’t come with a receipt,” he adds.
What’s next: Banks offered McCarthy ideas for how Republicans could make further inroads with working class voters. On the messaging front, he recommends:
- Contrasting the GOP’s immigration policies against “Biden’s border crisis”
- Hammering the Chinese Communist Party’s “predatory trade practices” and arguing that “Democrats’ coziness with China results from their coziness with Wall Street”
- Attacking Democrats for COVID lockdowns, hammering “wokeness and identity politics” and going after Big Tech.
- He suggests Republicans hold “working class roundtables” and create a “working families task force.”

Trump still dominating the Republican Party?
Did you read this article James?
It goes against everything you’ve been preaching here.
Of course Trump still domainates the Republican Party.Only one engaging in purposeful self deception would think otherwise.
The piece IS about a memo presented TO McCarthy by a group of conservatives….
DID U read the piece?
Not ALL of the GOPer’s are happy with the sell…
But most WILL follow most of the suggestions which are many….
The memo is all about “Main Street vs. Wall Street.”
if I did not know any better, I would say that jack now dominates the Republican Party.
It is about money yes….
But the sell is about embracing Trump ( for the money)
I do point out that staying with Trump will eventually screw ya as history has shown over and OVER…
What was all that; no one’s replies are clear to me, although the article itself is (Love Trump; spurn the Main St. & Lincoln Project Republicans; choose a proletarian appeal but make no efforts to appease Wall St. & Silicon Valley big donors — i.e. what you’d expect from the far right.)

Trump’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump promoted a new interview with the former president on Facebook and Instagram Tuesday, but a workaround to Trump’s ban on two of the world’s most popular social networks wasn’t long for this world.
She was apparently swiftly cautioned by Facebook that anything posted “in the voice of President Trump” is not currently allowed on Facebook or Instagram and would be subject to removal. Trump himself remains banned on Facebook pending a decision by the Oversight Board, the external governing body the company set up to tackle it thorniest platform policy decisions.
Those rules apply to any accounts or pages associated with the Trump campaign as well as any belonging to former surrogates for the campaign, two categories that Lara Trump’s account falls into. Facebook confirmed to TechCrunch that screenshots depicting emails from the company were legitimate….

Romney Claims Biden Not Living Up to Bipartisanship
April 1, 2021 at 5:35 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 107 Comments
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Twitter:
“A Senate evenly split between both parties and a bare Democratic House majority are hardly a mandate to ‘go it alone.’ The President should live up to the bipartisanship he preached in his inaugural address.”
