Five Crises Imperil GOP
The five crises threatening the Republicans’ future are the subordination of nominations to Donald Trump’s preferences; the backlash against the attempt to turn the elections into a referendum on his popularity; discontent over the cost of living and the widening deficit and debt; divisions over the party’s identity and its “America First” policies; and the fraying of the electoral coalition that brought it new voters. Polls have shown that six in ten voters disapprove of Trump’s performance, and that 65% blame his policies for rising prices. Meanwhile, the budget deficit has neared $2 trillion and the national debt has exceeded $40.5 trillion. Support among young people for Republican candidates has also declined, deepening the party’s concern that an electoral defeat would reflect a more profound crisis in its identity and base.
