Gilded-Age Republicans were a rotten bunch: business-friendly, labor-hostile, and more than willing to do big business and millionaires big favors. Sounds like today’s Republicans, right?

Not quite. Unlike Scott Walker’s brand of Republican, when Gilded Age Republicans raided the taxpayers’ purse, THEY ACTUALLY GOT THINGS DONE. And at least once in a while they tried to get the government a good bargain.

Scott Walker-style Republicans, and every Republican we’ve seen this century. CAN’T! Not only grifters, but incompetent grifters.

Grant, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley got railroads built and water projects started.

Trump and Walker?

Nah!
