“I felt kind of this way at first when I heard Pence mentioned as Trump’s pick for VP. That was an instinctual response on my part, but one ignorant of Mike Pence the person and his achievements.”
I first voted in 1972. Everyone I’ve ever thought was “the exception” wasn’t an exception.
“I don’t think it is wise to put people in baskets.”
Sounds reasonable, but the fact is that our political class is irredeemably corrupt and depraved.
“we have to govern with a little d of devil’s compromise of insiders and outsiders to get the chance to change things.”
I don’t think so. I think that’s just something the forces of evil say to avoid being chucked out on their ears.
“I think Trump is striking the right balance so far, beginning with Priebus”
Taking that despicable cur into his administration was the first knife in the back. Making Nasty Pelosi his chief of staff would have been no worse.
I hope that wrong, but to me this, “Keep your friends close, but keep your RINO scumbag enemies closer.” strategy seems to be a recipe for disaster.
