Milwaukee — In September 1859, Abraham Lincoln came to Milwaukee to promote a new Republican Party. This week, just a few blocks from where Lincoln spoke, Donald Trump himself unveiled an entirely new Republican Party, formed in his own image and free of what his supporters think are the shackles of traditional conservatism.
Much of the change within the GOP is due to the new brand of voter the party has attracted. Because the modern Republican Party doesn’t care what you’ve done or where you’ve been, they’re just happy you are with them now. They are willing to give you a pass for your past indiscretions and for being too mean to Donald Trump.
