Hey, among all the candidates the Republican Party threw out in the last election for their nominee and you ended up with this idiot you are getting exactly what you deserve, so what kind of message did you expect that you were sending out to the people? You got a candidate that over stated many of your so-called policies and took it to a whole another level. There were just enough Hillary haters out there because they feared what she might represent to them so they went for anyone other than her and ended up now with DJT. He didn’t exactly win the election by being chosen by people who liked him, he got the vote as their only other so-called alternative.
I used to think that Romney was the biggest coward in politics—after all, his only real accomplishment as the governor was the SAME health care reform that was/is the Affordable Care Act (erroneously known as Obamacare). Romneycare, in turn, was based on decades-old Republican ideas. Yet when he ran for president, he ran like hell AWAY from Romneycare, his own policy! Yet, the current biggest coward in politics is Donald Trump, followed by a clump of Republican Trump dumps (try saying that three times fast). Romney isn’t exactly George Washington but at least he criticized Trump in public (while being far less harsh on him then conservative pundits George Will, Jonah Goldberg, Michael Gerson, David Brooks, and others). A quick Romney quote: The Trump presidency made a deep descent in December. The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a “sucker” in world affairs all defined his presidency down.It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination. After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion. His early appointments of Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, Nikki Haley, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, Kelly and Mattis were encouraging. But, on balance, his conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions last month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office.
Also this from Li’l Mittens: “I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault. But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.” This from Godfreydaniel: Problem, of course, is that ALL of Trump’s statements and actions are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest, destructive to democratic institutions, AND occasionally treasonous. What’s the scale for how “significant” they are?
