Has Trump United the Republican Party?

Josh Kraushaar: “In a sign that Trump is bring­ing new­found unity to the GOP, con­sider Her­it­age Ac­tion for Amer­ica’s view of the in­com­ing ad­min­is­tra­tion. The tea-party-aligned group was a con­stant thorn in the side of es­tab­lish­ment Re­pub­lic­ans through the Obama years, op­pos­ing party lead­er­ship on im­mig­ra­tion, spend­ing bills, and cor­por­ate sub­sidies. Its al­lies in Con­gress routinely gave John Boehner head­aches. Now the group views Don­ald Trump’s agenda in sync with its own prin­ciples.”

“It’s a re­mark­able change in tone from a group that launched its polit­ic­al arm in op­pos­i­tion to the Re­pub­lic­an es­tab­lish­ment.”
