re: #143 allegro

This. I get eyerolls and spines stiffened in supreme offense when I tell Never-Trump Repubs that he IS their party regardless of how they feel about him. When they energetically deny that fact I ask “Then why is your party protecting him and his administration that you acknowledge to be clearly corrupt?”

Amazing how the subject ALWAYS suddenly changes then.

And it wasn’t that long ago that the subject would usually change to why Democrats “owned” Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016 for having the insane notion of running such a “spectacularly flawed” candidate* , and how the Dem Party would be permanent losers unless they “reconnected” with “Real Americans” like the GOP did.

* Maybe a minority opinion, but I still don’t think Hillary was all that bad a candidate. A “spectacularly flawed” nominee like Sec’y Clinton would have lost in a landslide; not the 80,000-vote electoral-college tipping that gave The Yam the win.
