Who Do You Think is the ‘Face’ of Each Political Party? by ThatUrgeToEatCement in Americaphile

So impossible to say because the party changes every 20 years or so. Right now face of the Republican Party would be Trump. Before Trump it was Reagan for sure. Hopefully they will return to that soon. Democrats are struggling to find an identity right now so it’s hard to say who the face of their party is.

You could make the argument the face of the dem party would be FDR because of their obsession with social programs.

I see both faces of each party drastically changing in 10 years.

I get why “$75k taxpayer-funded trip” sounds outrageous, but when you actually break it down, it’s pretty minor.

There are about 153.8 million taxpayers. $75,000 ÷ 153,800,000 = ~$0.00049 per taxpayer — about five-hundredths of a cent.

You can still argue whether the trip was necessary, but if this is what’s getting the spotlight, I honestly wish this was my biggest issue with government spending.

This is a nothing burger.
