a conservative party

Donald Trump is representing them (president right now)

the party is called GOP - grand old party 



The Republican Party claims its core values are…

  1. Smaller government
  2. Lower taxes
  3. Greater personal responsibility
  4. Elimination of abortion
  5. Elimination of wealth transfers
  6. Family Values
  7. High moral and ethical standards
  8. Government does not pick winners and losers
  9. Military preparedness

The term Republican was adopted in 1792 by supporters of Thomas Jefforson who favoured a decentralized government with limited powers. Although Jefferson’s political philosophy is consistent with the outlook of the modern Republican Party, his faction, which soon became known as the Democratic-Republican Party, ironically evolved by the 1830s into the Democratic Party, the modern Republican Party’s chief rival.
