It's true. Sometimes it's best to remain silent and be assume to be a fool rather than speak and remove all doubt.I read every word. WTF? Out of character for this forum. Lots of words. Prefer you didn't highlight clever word play. Who is this guy?Republicans were once free traders. Now they're isolationists. Republicans were once deficit hawks. Now they're passing spending bills that would make FDR blush and wince.
Republicans were once hardliners on Russia. Now they clamor to support it and its notorious leader Putin.
How did that tectonic shift happen? Trump.
What Svengali trick is Trump playing on the formally rock-ribbed base to make them shed their agenda to embrace something that, here to fore, was anathema to them?
Is Trump really that good of a salesman? Does he wield so much power among the GOP that they can all kiss their previously held convictions for his sake?
Why have the Republicans, who recently went through a purge of ideological purity with the Tea Party and the 'Freedom Caucus' give in to Trump's professional wrestler style of charisma?
Is there a bridge too far? We might have hoped Trump's whacky campaign would have provided a whiff of smelling salts. He attacked Mexicans, American judges who are of Mexican descent, Gold Star families, POWs, the disabled, women, and the electoral system itself.
Since his election, he has chided those protesting Nazis and White Supremists and drawing a moral equivalence between those protesting hate and hate itself, separated children from their families as a point of policy and now disavowed the word of his own intelligence community as well as both houses of congress to side with the Kremlin.
One might further hope that somewhere along this line of arrogance, incompetence, naïveté and lack of intellectual curiosity some of the Republicans might get a whiff of the smelling salts of decency and wake up from this hex cast on them by a huckster buffoon.
You have missed the blur of motion in your peripheral. Turn around. Slowly. See that? It's the Democrats' six decade ride on the radical Leftist cultural revolution reflecting in the DNC's mirror. While our commander in chief is one hell of a leader, all the spun-for-your-benefit behavioral shifts you note, are Paleoconservative reaction to the hideous fallacies and treasonous acts resulting from Vanguard cultural revolution politic and committed by radical Left think tank tar pit escapees. Your radical Left socio-postmodern-Jacobite-elitist clinically indifferent to all human life and contradictory to all aspects of patriotism, alone, has caused mass American migration away from your side, and embrace of our President's charismatic rope-a-dope philosophy of leadership. The answer to your questions is in the mirror.
