Our podcast today explores the reason for the retirement of the large number of Congressional Republican representatives, in 2020, and takes issue with Rush Limbaugh’s benevolent analysis that the Democrats have dirt on each Republican that forces the Republicans to retire, rather than to fight for liberty.
A better explanation, than extortion, for the Republican exodus involves the crony capitalist, revolving door special interest political arrangement between being an elected Republican representative and transitioning to a highly paid lobbyist or media talking head.
The behavior of the retiring Republicans can be explained by conventional economic analysis that the marginal benefit of staying elected is not greater than the marginal cost of campaigning.
The retiring Republicans, in 2020, have reached the apex of reward for holding office, just like the 45 Republicans, who retired in 2018, and were replaced by 41 Democrats.
Most of the 45 Republicans who retired in 2018, are now safely ensconced in their new lucrative careers, like Ander Crenshaw, of Florida, who is now a lobbyist for large global corporations in Washington.
Crenshaw is a globalist crony capitalist Republican who made a successful transition from being an elected representative to being a successful lobbyist. His net worth, during his tenure as an elected representative, in 2012, was $2.3 million. His net worth today is estimated at over $10 million.
During his tenure as an elected representative, Crenshaw voted for all of the globalist anti-American trade deals that Trump is trying to undo.
His major corporate donors were Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, General Atomics, Honeywell International, and CSX Corp.
Our podcast today argues that Crenshaw is typical of the crony capitalist Republicans who are retiring, in 2020, all of whom view elected public service as a way to enrich themselves, and their clients, by using the agencies of government.
Crenshaw, and the crony capitalist Republicans, were never warriors for individual liberty, they have always been Vichy collaborators with the socialists to keep the D.C. gravy train on the tracks.
Being in the foxhole with Crenshaw, and the Republicans, would require keeping one eye on them, while you were aiming for the enemy.
Our podcast concludes by making the historical comparison between what happened to conservatism, after Ronald Reagan died, to what happens to individual liberty, after Trump leaves office.
Reagan was an aberration for the Republicans, and after he was gone, the RNC reverted back to the traditional “losing with honor,” that allowed Republicans to collaborate with Democrats to gain maximum financial benefits, after they leave office.
Trump’s nationalism is an aberration for the globalists. After Trump leaves office, individual liberty and American sovereignty, will again be undefended.
We conclude that during his second term, Trump must lead a new conservative movement that defends individual liberty from both the globalist socialists, and the globalist crony capitalist Republicans.
The right person to lead that national political movement is Lou Dobbs.
