A party awash in backward-looking negativity needs to embrace a positive agenda, writes JohnKasich
Kasich served a governor of the state of Ohio from 2011-2019, and served as a member of congress from 1983-2001., Republicans in the U.S. House must now turn their attention to governing. It’s clear they will need to regain the confidence of the American people and in the institution.
Solution-minded policies, once a staple of Republican leadership, grow out of time-honored principles. But today’s Trump-dominated party has no use for principle-based leadership, simply because it has no principles. Playing their zero-sum, win-at-all-costs game of situational ethics, the party has forgotten what it means to be a compassionate conservative or how to address issues by observing those underlying, faith-based values that once formed the core of what it means to be a Republican.
It’s difficult to prioritize so many complex domestic and international issues demanding principled solutions, but for starters that list would have to include balancing the federal budget, rebuilding America’s faith in immigration, developing a stronger military, strengthening Social Security and Medicare, reducing community crime, investing in mental health and getting serious about climate change—each helping to build a more prosperous America.
