      I have said that Trump is compromised by the Russians, that he is a threat to rule of law, that he consistently shits all over the Constitution at will, for years. You're just worried now that it looks like Trump will take the GOP down with him. Which I also said would happen.

      You call them "D talking points." I call them "the Trump record."

      "D talking points" is the idea that systematic assaults on our Constitution are totally fine so long as they are done for different motives & ends than Trump's. You want to ensure that no Democrat ever faces any checks whatsoever.

      I'm sorry, is your assumption 1. That Biden will be the same menace that Trump is, and 2. that the Senate must be in the hands of the opposition or there are no checks? Did I miss the part where you argued for electing Dems in 2016 and 2018 to be a check on *this* president?

      This is really lazy argumentation, Dan. "Hey, assume that Joe Biden is *also* a sociopathic anti-constitutional authoritarian who's compromised by a foreign power. You think Chuck Schumer's gonna stop him?!" I'll take my chances, thanks.

      So, your view is that so long as he's against our constitutional structure for ideological reasons, that's OK? Because that is the ideological commitment of the D party writ large. That is my bottom line: it's easier for Rs to get a new leader than Dems to get a new philosophy.

      Frankly, most of what I find alarming about Trump is attitudes & practices he imported from the other party. I want that stuff out of my party. Joining the other side would be endorsing it all, permanently.

      You are desperately trying to shoehorn Joe Biden - a moderate you've seen in politics for 40 years - into a threat to the Constitution, because you want to rationalize supporting an *actual* threat to the Constitution - a threat is now far more institutionalized in the GOP.

      1. Be honest. Biden is a liberal, not a moderate. He's not Joe Manchin. 2. Biden is unlikely to remain in control long. He's ancient & easily bullied. 3. Biden's Senate record has long been about shifting the courts away from the Constitution by any available means.

      1. Yeah, I've heard that one. He's not Joe Manchin. But he'll do. 2. You have an obviously *deeply* emotionally disturbed man in office right now. 3. The GOP courts project scares me more than the Democrats. 4. I prefer a party not compromised by foreign powers.

      Well, 3 is all the marbles. You want courts that will bend everything to left-leaning policy ends, that's what you get. Just don't pretend it's the rule of law or the American system.

          You want courts that will reach decisions you like. You've learned it from the Dems - and learned it well. But then, I'm such a squish I thought Garland deserved a hearing and a vote, because I'm so old-fashioned.

          The GOP is no different about the courts than the Democrats. Just more ruthless and theocratic.

          Too bad we can't clone Neil Gorsuch every time an opening comes up on the SC.
