Republicans and past presidents.
The best "real"* Republican president, TR, must be spinnig in his grave to have these modern-era Republicans calling him a idol.

TR was pro-enviroment and anit-big corporation (trust buster). Needless to say, today's GOPers have slightly different viewpoints about those issues.

*as great as Lincoln was, he's not a "real" Republican. The Republican party was founded in 1854 to stop the spread of slavery to the western lands. That was the only main Repbulican platform until Reconstruction was over (1877). Sorry about the history lesson, just wanted to be clear.
