Politics Scarborough says he'll never return to Republican party after GOP supported Trump
A new group pushes the post-Trump GOP to reject its 'lazy' devotion to tax cuts
One of the biggest dilemmas for the Republican Party is what it should do after the Trump presidency, an eventuality that some on the right have been mulling since the early days of his administration. In March, a group of conservative thinkers started a new organization called American Compass, which aims to move the Republican Party past clichés about Ronald Reagan’s policies. “Applying conservative principles doesn’t mean just keep flipping through the 1980 playbook until you find the right tax cut,” said Oren Cass, a founding member of American Compass who serves as its executive director.

Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," said on Wednesday that he would never be a Republican again after the party supported President Trump.

During an appearance on "The View" with his wife and co-host Mika Brzezinski, the former GOP congressman was asked if the party could recover after supporting the president over the last four years.
Scarborough said the GOP keeps making "fools of themselves" by kowtowing to Trump, and that he didn't know where to go after the party threw aggressive support behind him.

Scarborough also blasted Trump for acting as a "fascist," noting that Trump has called on his supporters to commit violent acts and repeatedly suggested arresting his political opponent. He also pointed out that Trump has asserted that Article 2 of the Constitution gives him "the right to do whatever I want as president."
"My Republican party, the Republican party of my youth, remains silent. I can never go back there." The former congressman said.
"So the question is, do I remain an independent for the rest of my life? Do we have an expanding Democratic party where Democrats welcome conservatives and suburban voters that helped elect Joe Biden this time?" he said. "I mean I think that's the big question."

Trump has been in a long-running feud with the "Morning Joe" hosts that has included Trump attacking Brzezinski's appearance. Scarborough has repeatedly insulted the president and said in 2017 that Trump suffers from "early onset dementia."
Last month, he suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin was more likely to take a tough question from a reporter than Trump.
