Republicans have never called for defaulting on the debt. Trump promoted the idea briefly during the primaries ... the worst you can say about Republicans in general is they accepted a candidate who doesn't know the country can't tear up it's debts. Like he did in his business career. Of course a majority of Trump voters in the primaries were crossover Democrats, not registered Republicans. The Republican party allows open primaries so crossover Democrats will vote for the most liberal candidates ... it's how the GOPe prevents conservatives from running another Reagan type. When Reagan came along, GOPe shut him out in 1976 and had a liberal Republican run third party in 1980 in hopes of giving Carter another term.
