    “It tells you how much the world has changed,” said Mr. Gingrich, who will be one of the speakers at the convention. “It just doesn’t matter. They no longer have power in this party.”

    Gingrich played a crucial role in getting the US into its current political situation; as the Speaker of the House during Clinton’s Presidency, he made partisanship a part of the republican party platform and turned compromise into a dirty word. It’s fitting that he is still a part of the Trump GOP, because he was instrumental in creating it.

    We already knew this, but the old GOP is dead and now it’s just the party of Trump and MAGA.
