    A quick point of clarification: A couple week’s ago, I wrote about the conservatives rooting for Dems to win in November. Although I expressed sympathy with their goals, I stopped short of endorse it. (I make this point because I’ve wound up being lumped onto this growing list.)

        I understood your position perfectly when you expressed it back then. Bah, but you know, you'll get lumped as a Trump apologist on one day and on another day, you're a RINO or deep state anti-Trump hehe. :P

        It just indicates Matt is sitting on the fence refusing to participate in a moment of great stress. Letting the GOP hold any power after this is unethical.

        We need to work on the GOP in Congress who do have the power to do something. Checks & balances for the win. Matt just calls it as he sees it which is his job. The ones that get me are the #alwaystrumpers who are uniquely blind to any of Trump's shortcoming no matter how glaring.

        There's no chance of working within the GOP Congress. That's the point. Maintaining that belief is just riding the fence for the sake of it. The GOP is useless and ethically bankrupt. There's only one rational option. Dems take over and crush the GOP into submission.

        I just don't think judging journalists for their positions (except those pushing fake news) is the way to go. They are the ones who are morally bankrupt, not those who still hope 4 their party's future & have been critical of Trump. Our strongest weapon against 45 is to vote.

        Having said that, I agree with you that the only way to stomp out Trumpism is by crushing them... Just not the part of calling honest journalists ethically bankrupt because they don't agree with me 100% of the time. Interesting chat. Have a good night. ^^

        I saw your name &didn't think you'd be happy. @MaxBoot has a number of reasons for his position that I agree with .If nothing else makes sense about this to some, the key is that a divided govt is urgently needed for checks/balances to work. Its more about the R Congress than DT

        I too questioned abandoning the @GOP. Use to cancel out my wife's vote every time. We use to laugh about it. Something is different about this "GOP" under Trump and you know it. Don't be afraid to admit it and speak out. We need more to do that than ever.

        How do you feel about the contradictions between the House and Senate reports dealing with the Russian meddling in the 2016 elections? Personally I don’t think the House can be trusted to put country before Trump.

        Well after the AP article about the armed forces and immigrants today, you should probably change your mind and want to be lumped together with them

        God forbid anyone thinks you are supporting democrats in any way. Its much better they think you are a GOP'er who condones a white supremacist party. Your criticizing Donald Trump is not enough, your party is 100% complicit with all he does.
