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.

The Republicans are now far more of a threat to constitutional order than the Democrats. They've *proven* it. I'll throw the dice on Biden and the Dems over this anti-constitutional, revanchist cult.

Well, so long as your concept of the constititutional order includes neither separation of powers, nor the Bill of Rights, nor the primacy of the written Constitution, nor the sovereignty of the elected & accountable branches.

Dan, you can trying this scare-mongering on someone else. We're both too old for this. You have a proven record of pure contempt for the Constitution, from Stone to Russia to even things now forgotten like the ATT merger. You're okay with it all. I'm not.

OK, now you are just making stuff up. I favored the Stone prosecution & opposed the commutation; I just thought a 9-year sentence was bonkers. And when did I write anything about the AT&T merger?

I'm not talking about you, I'm reminding you that the GOP has been enabling years of utterly anti-constitutional behavior. You're asking me to fear Biden, as though somehow he'd be worse. The GOP is not only anti-constitutional, it's *banana republic level* anti-constitutional.

When one writes "you have a proven record," it is customarily meant to talk about the person you're addressing.
