Which party has changed the most?
Speaking to “Face the Nation” last May, former Pentagon chief, Robert Gates said he did not think the five Republican presidents he worked for would recognize the GOP today.
“I would have serious concerns about the future. You know, I’ve … worked for eight presidents. Five of them were Republicans. I don’t think any of them would recognize the Republican Party today,” Gates, who has also served as CIA director, said. “I think in terms of the values and the principles that the Republican Party stood for under those five presidents are hard to find these days.”
In the interview that aired on Sunday, Gates also said it would “concern” him if Trump ran for office again.
