It is then wholly predictable that Donald Trump would be unable to have a stable presidency. " - Richard Painter " I’m pro-business! But business ought to make its own money. " - Richard Painter " I think the Republican Party has moved substantially to the right, particularly on social issues… And the Democratic Party has moved to the left over the past decades. So we’ve got a lot more room in the middle. " - Richard Painter " The real problem with the Republican Party is that for decades it has shifted constantly to the right politically.
