In 2016 the Republican Party made a bet on a controversial political novice. Now a party made in his image is about to win again.

Republicans still embrace the power of the ex-president’s agenda to galvanize voters and drive turnout.

Democrats have one, too, and impeached the president on it.

Don’t impeach him. His actions have all been within the scope of the presidency.

He’s a tireless catalyst of conflict with the right’s opponents.

The public testimony was sleaze for the sake of pure partisan pleasure, not a serious attempt at uncovering lawbreaking.

The president made the midterms a real battle instead of a running retreat. He is widely hated and feared, but he is also much loved as a champion of his voters.

The president has reclaimed the formula that made the landslide victories of the Nixon and Reagan years possible.

The duty of the president’s team is not to second guess him or the outcome of the last election.

The U.S. needs an alternative to a free-trade system that has hollowed out the factory towns that once made America great.
