      I intend to cast a protest primary vote vs Trump, & would like a real R to back. But if you're actively throwing in behind Joe Walsh, you've learned nothing from Trump & just want in on your own unprincipled, unqualified, undisciplined, bigoted grifter.https://twitter.com/SarahLongwell25/status/1165648921475133440 …

      Today Joe Walsh announced he’s going to primary President Trump for the GOP nomination. Walsh wasn’t on my radar in 2010, but if he had been I would have hated him. He was a canary in the coal mine for where the Republican Party was headed, which culminated in Trump’s election

      Did you read my thread? I’m not throwing in behind anyone. I’m arguing for opening the door to grace should it be earned. And people who have provided years of aid, comfort, and rationalization for Trump have no moral high ground from which to argue.

      I did, and it amounts to "now he's saying what I want to hear." I have fought for years against this instant-folk-hero view of Republican candidates. I will always be for the people who have actually done things. Like - for all his flaws - Sanford. http://baseballcrank.com/archives2/2015/08/politics_laura.php …

      No, it’s that he’s apologized and repudiated his past words and there is value in that. I’m not turning him into a folk hero and that’s clear from any honest reading of my thread. I’ll support Sanford as well if he gets in.

      Nothing in Walsh's character or history shows that his words alone are any more trustworthy than those of Trump. He's just looking for a new grift because the old one ran out. There is literally no point to replacing Trump with Walsh.

      I’m not in a position to evaluate Walsh’s character. But the key difference between him and Trump is that’s he apologized and disavowed his past words and behavior. Trump? Well, we know where he currently stands.

      Replying to @SarahLongwell25 @baseballcrank

      Actually, let me amend that. Because I am in a position to evaluate his past character, which was repugnant. Walsh was like replacing Trump w a different version of Trump only if he stands by his abhorrent past behavior, but he doesn’t. Unlike Trump.

      This is not how I evaluate candidates, & never has been. Words matter, but actions speak louder than words. http://baseballcrank.com/archives2/2007/10/politics_the_tr_3.php … http://baseballcrank.com/archives2/2015/10/politicshistory_13.php …

          Thanks, will read. Can you link me to a few of your recent articles making the moral case against Trump?
