Where Republicans Go From Here
To start, we should back a constitutional convention to pass term limits and a balanced budget clause.

Mr. Trump proved that he was right—as I well know, since I was often in his target sights! He successfully tapped into the anger and deep distrust that voters feel toward Washington. These voters believe the American dream is increasingly out of reach. They believe our system is skewed in favor of the powerful and the connected. They believe that the politicians elected to right these wrongs have only made them worse. And they overwhelmingly voted for Mr. Trump, giving him a hard-won victory.

But here’s something we shouldn’t forget: This election was more about voting against something than voting for something. Americans voted against the “establishment,” against the country’s changing culture, against a dysfunctional Washington, against the privileged, against Hillary Clinton—and, yes, against Donald Trump.

We can do this without stooping to the identity politics of the left. Let’s not focus on angst, grievance and division over race, class or gender. Our party must be big-hearted and creative and opportunistic. We must make it clear that there is no room in our tent for despicable bigotries like racism, misogyny or anti-Semitism.





I will continue to pray for President-elect Trump and his family. I pray he governs inclusively, with humility and with purpose. I pray that he will be led by a deep love of this nation and each of its citizens, regardless of background or ZIP Code.

1. A constitutional convention and a balance budget amendment

would both be a disaster for this country especially in this environment. How strange
the "moderate" Jeb would go there. One only can assume he is attempting to position
himself to appeal to the Republican minions post Trump.

2. "We can do this without stooping to the identity politics of the left"

I keep seeing this over and over and the masses are buying it.

This is going to kill us moving forward if we don't get out and beat it down.
