      Did all these hundreds of conservatives emailing dan and Bridget, who in good faith oppose trump but just fear the left more, support a 2020 primary because I don’t remember getting much support for that effort.

      The support was out there, had a plausible alternative been proposed. None ever was. I would have voted for Sanford, but he had his own issues. Who do you think would have run?

      Sanford was a great option for people who claim to hold Danielle’s views. Flawed, but certainly better than Trump and no risk of appeasing Antifa or adding to SCOTUS. There was a recruitment effort that surely would’ve landed a Hogan or Kinzinger type had the support been there.

      I was a Sanford fan from way back, until the scandal. Hogan was a non-starter; a fine blue state governor, but in a normal year he could not win a GOP primary. Needs to be a pro-lifer. You know this.

      I think you are making the point. If a person believes Trump is an odious erratic liar who they fear is a threat to our security then getting to Sanford or Hogan or impeachment or Biden is easy. If the person couldn’t get there for any, they are just for trump no need for charade

      You are proceeding from the premise that a primary challenge aims at removing the incumbent, as opposed to nominating a potential president. If you primary a guy for the sole purpose of being rid of him, you can just as easily vote for the other party in the general election.

      Yes, again we agree! Danielle & the people emailing you support trump. They had options to oppose him thru a primary or general, that is what people who oppose trump have done. The gnashing of teeth about supporting him is a show bc they are embarrassed their man is a racist fool

      No, and you know that is not it. They believe the Democrats are actively harmful to America in ways that are permanent & undoable, & do not wish to actively harm America.

          Now we are going around in circles. They could’ve supported a primary (regular folks) or impeachment (pundit types). That provided options to genuinely oppose trump without supporting the Ds. They could also be for Biden and GOP Senate/House. They aren’t bc they are for trump.

          This tweet is a complete load of crap and exactly the reason I stopped following crank. He always basically leads to we have no real choice but to support trump.

          Such a lazy man's way of thinking. It's like when I really want a nice, fresh salad for dinner but leftover pizza is what I see first in the fridge so I just go with that.
