Those are three words for the Republican Party that I think is a path to success: Focus on policy,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said on NPR Tuesday.”I think Donald Trump has a strong case on all of those counts, and I think he and the Republican Party would be well served to focus on…
