Republicans now the party of working people

Daily Wire:
Actor James Woods and Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) came to national prominence two utterly different ways but both have found themselves in recent years thriving in the same space, social media. Both men have became must-follows for conservatives online and, since Woods made his big return to Twitter a few weeks ago, the two conservatives have been drawing attention at times to each other’s posts.

With socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) increasingly looking like the prohibitive favorite to take the Democratic nomination, Woods and Cruz have weighed in recently on Sanders and what his rise means about the direction of the Democratic Party, and the two conservative voices have found a lot of common ground.

In response to former Democratic candidate Andrew Yang telling CNN, as Sanders was cruising to victory in Nevada over the weekend, that the Democratic Party is no longer the party of the working class, Cruz agreed and expanded on Yang’s premise.

“Yang is right: This is the most fundamental political shift of the past decade,” Cruz tweeted. “The Democratic Party has abandoned the working class, has abandoned union members, and the GOP has become the blue-collar party of jobs.”

Woods, in turn, noticed Cruz’s tweet, likewise agreed with the premise, and offered his own, less senatorial and a little more dramatized take on the Democratic Party.

“The Democratic Party has been hijacked by screeching socialists, ranting ‘intersectionalists,’ whatever they hell they are, and masked Antifa street thugs,” he wrote. “Republicans stand for jobs, borders, and national security. The Democratic Party is a vampirized husk, gone forever.”

Cruz, a Cuban-American, then addressed Sanders’ most recent praise of a dictatorial communist regime, his defense of murderous Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro. “We’re very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but it’s unfair to say everything’s bad,” Sanders told “60 Minutes” on Sunday. “When Castro came into office you know what he did? He had a literacy program.”

“It really makes a difference when those you murder at the firing squad can read & write,” Cruz replied.

There is more.

I think Trump has done more for working people because his trade policies have brought back manufacturing jobs. He has been able to appeal to union workers no Republican President in recent memory.
