    I never heard them called the daddy party exactly, however the concept is not new. Hell I remember there was an episode of The West Wing like 20 years ago where they talked about this. The mommy problem. It’s a thing in politics that gets talked about. Democrats are the ones you go to when you want things like jobs and Healthcare whereas Republicans the ones you go to when you’re scared. It certainly a strategy Republicans bank on, as we see it’s basically the only thing they have right now. Lie to people tell them to be scared of immigrants and minorities and crime. That’s the entirety of their campaign right now, there’s not a lick of policy or anything else.
