What PolitiDose published long ago, editorial opinion writers are just now reporting. The sad part is not only their tardiness, but their failure to inform at critical times and allow the fake news to take root. In this case the issues are Donald Trump and the republican party. In the case of Donald Trump, he portrays himself as an outsider who is above it all. In the case of the republican party, they wear the self proclaimed mantle of conservatism and rail against federal deficits.
As it pertains to Donald Trump, editorial writers are now of the opinion that Trump and the republican party are one and the same. Surprise, surprise!!!!! They have seen the light of Trump and the President's position on the issues since the election. But readers of PolitiDose knew that PolitiDose published several commentaries during the 2016 campaign describing why and how Trump and the party are one and the same.
As it pertains to the republican party, editorial writers just recently discovered that republicans could care less about deficit spending when their tax bill adds $1.4 trillion to the national debt. In fact, they wrote about how the party was the party of conservatism and opposed deficit spending in the past. But the facts of the past do not back that up since no republican administration has balanced the federal budget since Ike in 1960. PolitiDose long ago and in several commentaries demonstrated how the party was not conservative in fiscal matters at all and even wrote a special commentary about their record deficit spending habits.
Yes, editorial writers should have know long ago Trump and the GOP are one and the same and that the party itself has actually been a deficit producing machine since President Eisenhower. And yes, you read it here first in PolitiDose, your daily dose of political commentary and long ago.
