So, if someone votes for Trump in 2016 & 2020, defends him at every turn for 8 years, votes for Melania for president in 2040, then denounces Trump in 2043, does that get credit?

I dunno, Dan. You want credit for "opposing" Trump while doing absolutely nothing of consequence to oppose him, asking no one in your party to effectively oppose him and supporting basically everything that empowers him, so you're not the most reliable authority on such things.

I see you have no intention of addressing in good faith the obvious point that bitter-ender Clinton supporters are only willing to turn on him when he's been out of office 19 years & after supporting his return to the WH just 3 years ago. Evading that is not a good look.

"His return to the White House" would not have been as president. Stop being disingenuous about what support for Hillary Clinton means. But when you're the one who brings up the nature and genuineness of condemnation, yeah, I think your own stance on such matters is relevant.

I will take that as a "no, I have no intention of responding in good faith." You know I'm right, which is why you're deflecting instead. Also, is it your contention that Hillary Clinton was never in any way responsible for enabling/defending her husband's misconduct?

Your original point was a deflection. JF noted, quite correctly, that Trump's supporters would never turn on him, and you assert, incorrectly, that there has not been considerable reassessment of Clinton by many (but not all, sadly) on the left.

My original point was that Fugelsang is pushing the obviously false narrative that Democrats would turn on Clinton while Clinton still held power & turning on him would benefit Republicans. You know full well that's not so, never has been, never will be.

It's an impossible to test theory in that Clinton has been out of power for almost 20 years and we lived in very different times with very different attitudes about his ugly nature in the 1990s. I'd like to think they would. As it is now, many have turned on him FWIW.

This is supported by zero evidence in how Democrats have behaved whenever their candidates were under fire in contested general elections.

If you think Democrats united arm-in-arm behind Hillary Clinton in 2016 you might've been in a coma in 2016.

You did. In the general election, basically every liberal/progressive commentator outside of the very far Left did. Look at 2018. Who was arguing that Menendez should be voted out, or that Mike Espy didn't deserve D votes?
