'Republican voters are giving Trump a pass'

The Republican Party is in a state of transformation under President-elect Trump, conservative columnist Matt Lewis said on the Washington Examiner’s “Examining Politics” podcast.

Lewis said that Republican voters, even the more classically right-of-center among them, are giving Trump a wide berth ideologically as he stakes out his agenda and seeks to implement it. That means they might approve of Trump spending billions of taxpayer dollars on infrastructure, whereas another Republican president might not have been given the latitude to do so.
