The candidate for congressional office at Utah GOP convention that vowed to root out the so-called Deep State received A LOT more positive feedback than candidate who declared Russia meddled in 2016 & will meddle again. But this being Utah, no boos.
Cuz there isn't enough support in the Senate. But that's not Deep State, that's politics & philosophy (and gets to your point about needing more friends.) ... I didn't say oppo was just Dem Party, just that it's not some secret conspiracy cabal that can't be touched & runs govt

I think Deep State rhetoric is silly. But it gets at a core truth: that the type of change Trump wants to bring about is the antithesis of what most people (not all) who cover and work in DC believe in. Unlike say Obama. That makes Trump's task harder, and they think unfairly so
-
Well argued. I prefer saying that w/out the Deep State rhetoric. I think rhetoric matters and this is my main objection, plus I think it makes his job harder, which is great for someone who wants him not to achieve his goals, I suppose.

But I don't think that makes their anger totally unjustified or misdirected. If 18 months after Obama was elected, serious, official people questioned the validity of his election with no evidence, Democrats would have been furious and understandbly so.

I rarely question validity of feelings or feelings in general. It's subjective. I try to focus on actions & rhetoric.
-
Well, what those people at the convention are expressing is their feelings. I just think the anger and resentment are understandable.
