Le GOP devient trumpiste<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Il y a eu quatre primaires pour la d\u00e9signation des candidats r\u00e9publicains (GOP) pour les \u00e9lections mid-term<\/em>, dans les États du Minnesota, du Wisconsin, du Vermont et du Connecticut. Pour la premi\u00e8re fois une grande tendance est apparue : pour \u00eatre d\u00e9sign\u00e9s par les \u00e9lecteurs du parti, il faut \u00eatre \u00ab\u00a0trumpiste\u00a0\u00bb<\/strong>, c’est-\u00e0-dire radicalis\u00e9 dans le sens du pr\u00e9sident (populiste, isolationniste, conservateur-soci\u00e9tal, etc.). ZeroHedge.com<\/em>\u00e9crit ce 15 août 2018<\/a> : « M\u00eame le Washington Post admet que \u00ab\u00a0Trump a triomph\u00e9 lors des primaires\u00a0\u00bb <\/em>».<\/p>\n<\/p>\n C’\u00e9tait une des grandes inconnues de ces deux derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es<\/strong> : l’\u00e9volution de l’attitude g\u00e9n\u00e9rale du GOP, qui s’\u00e9tait oppos\u00e9 au candidat Trump, vis-\u00e0-vis du pr\u00e9sident Trump. Il semble qu’on puisse avancer que le GOP a \u00e9volu\u00e9 vers le soutien du pr\u00e9sident en place<\/strong>. Les r\u00e9publicains du Congr\u00e8s de 2019 devraient \u00eatre beaucoup plus populistes-trumpistes, et donc activistes face aux d\u00e9mocrates, que ceux qu’ils remplacent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Comme le parti d\u00e9mocrate continue \u00e0 sa polariser et \u00e0 se radicaliser<\/strong>, notamment dans le domaine soci\u00e9tale (avec la d\u00e9signation de Christine Hallquist, anciennement Mister <\/em>Hallquist et ouvertement transgenre comme candidate pour le poste de gouverneur du Vermont), on a une confirmation que ces \u00e9lections seront extr\u00eamement polaris\u00e9es<\/strong> sinon un affrontement de \u00ab\u00a0Guerre Civile\u00a0\u00bb. L’analyse du 15 août 2018<\/a> est renforc\u00e9e, pour faire de ces \u00e9lections \u00e0 mi-mandat un affrontement alimentant plus encore l’intensit\u00e9 de la bataille qui d\u00e9chire les États-Unis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n « The dust has settled after primaries in four states on Tuesday; Minnesota, Wisconsin, Vermont and Connecticut – setting up competitive races for Senate, House and gubernatorial seats this November. <\/em>And according to the Washington Post, Trump was a \u00ab\u00a0big winner\u00a0\u00bb last night. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » \u00ab\u00a0At least in Republican primary politics, Tuesday once again proved he’s the king. Republican politicians on the ballot Tuesday who dissed him in 2016 raced to undo that, and those who didn’t do it convincingly enough lost their primaries.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » In Minnesota’s competitive governor’s race, Republican voters nominated a relative outsider, Jeff Johnson, over a former governor, Tim Pawlenty, as Pawlenty struggled to get out from under the fact he called Trump \u00ab\u00a0unhinged and unfit\u00a0\u00bb during the campaign.\u00a0\u00bb –<\/em>WaPo<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » \u00ab\u00a0The Republican Party has shifted,\u00a0\u00bb Pawlenty bemoaned during his loss. \u00ab\u00a0It is the era of Trump<\/strong>, and I’m just not a Trump-like politician.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » Meanwhile, last week’s GOP Kansas governor’s primary also paid off for Trump – his riskiest endorsement yet, as Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach bested Gov. Jeff Colyer by a slim margin. Kobach helped to lead Trump’s voter fraud commission. The Post notes that any Republican on Tuesday’s ballot who went against Trump in 2016 (or now) "needed to pivot quickly." <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » \u00ab\u00a0In Wisconsin, state Sen. Leah Vukmir did just that as she won her primary to challenge Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.). She called him \u00ab\u00a0offensive to everyone\u00a0\u00bb during the campaign but endorsed him after he won the primary.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
