The only ideological separation that I can appreciate, is Trump’s campaign promise of term limits. (Which I haven’t heard a peep about since his election.)
They are separate on how they wish the public views them, but aren’t going in different directions. The tax bill was a huge common goal for the GOP. It was probably the most important/profitable(for the elite) thing they could have accomplished. And congress was willing to remove as much transparency, and shove it through as fast, as possible. They lowered themselves to Trump’s level.
If McCain hadn’t gotten brain cancer, I doubt there would have been a single powerful republican opposing the abolition of the ACA…
Ideologically. On the big things, the GOP is parallel to Trump.
Yes. As mentioned above, the GOP will throw Trump under the bus when the time comes, and publicly distance themselves from him. But the truth is, they are just as reprehensible. If there are any Republicans, who care about this country, they have sold their souls to help Don help their campaign funders/the wealthy elite.
If there was a question about there being an ideological difference before the tax bill, it should be clarified now…
