The protections against overreaching that standard are political & structural, not legal. And the reason Trump's case is a unique course of conduct is his behavior, not the law. He committed a unique, sustained assault on American democracy, resulting in unique consequences.

Sure but I disagree. And you’re only possible response is that you feel differently. But I’m gonna win.

One can argue anything based on the raw will to power. But having done so, you fall back on the idea that Republicans will always have a popular majority at their back to do what they will, and no defense if ever they do not.

I'm the friend you'll need when the public isn't always with you. The friend who believes in the institutions, the processes, & the traditions that conservatives exist to defend.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBiLT3LASk …

And you are very trusting of the other side who banned people from going to church for a year. Sorry, man. I’m out.

There is no reason whatsoever to think I trust those people. Hell, I just wrote a piece on that very issue! But I believe - do you? - that there are voters & prospective voters in the United States other than hard-shell leftists & diehard personal loyalists of Donald J. Trump.

Sure. Like 90%. But there’s no you on the other side, Dan. That’s the problem.

On the other side? No. In the middle? Yes, there are people you can win over, people who will flock to your banner for a day, if not for every season. The kinds of people Lincoln & Reagan recruited to their causes.

No. I’m asking a very specific question. What public figure who is a Democrat will slam them the way you slam Republicans? Sullivan? Maybe Taibbi? But there’s a lot more of us willing to throw our own under the bus. I’m done with that.

See, we used to be able to walk into a room & tell people that we hold ours to account, they don't, & that's why you should join us. That's a big part of how we won the 2000 election. Trump burned that down. Why help him do that? Why tell people "join us, we're the same as them!"
