Unmasking the GOP's Decline: A Conversation with Norm Ornstein

In this episode of the Bill Press Pod, Norm Ornstein discussed the significant changes in the Republican Party and the broader implications for American democracy since the publication of his 2012 book, "It's Even Worse Than It Looks". Ornstein is a political scientist and an emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a leading expert on Congress. Ornstein asserted that the party has dramatically shifted from being a traditional problem-solving entity to one that is highly radicalized, especially in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency. He expressed concern that current Republican leaders are either fanatically loyal to Trump or too cowardly to oppose him, leading to a lack of effective checks and balances.Ornstein also criticized the Supreme Court for its decisions that, in his view, have accelerated the slide towards autocracy. He described House Speaker Mike Johnson as the worst in history, claiming he acts primarily as an enabler of Trump's agenda rather than protecting congressional prerogatives.The Pod also touched on Trump's use of the pardon power, highlighting the corrupt implications of pardoning individuals involved in criminal activities and insurrections. Ornstein noted a growing trend of using presidential powers for personal gain, directly contrasting this with historical standards of conduct.He expressed skepticism about the future, worrying that even if a supportive political shift occurs (e.g., Democrats regaining control of Congress), the damage done could take a long time to undo, as many experienced professionals may not return to public service due to the toxic political climate. Overall, Ornstein depicted a bleak view of the current political landscape, warning of the long-term consequences of the ongoing erosion of democratic norms and institutions. Throughout the talk, he emphasized the importance of integrity and accountability in government, expressing hope for reforms but recognizing the steep challenges ahead.Today's Bill Press Pod is supported by Iron Workers Union.
