Yep, the old reach-across (or around)... In the olden (pre-Trump) days this is how things worked. Look how we acted toward Obama - while we disagreed with everything he did and may have personally despised him, we were respectful because he was duly elected and we respected the office if not the person in it. We did not say things like "President Obama held a press conference today where he repeated his lies about X and gave support to conspiracy theory Y". Yet that is a mild form of what they do to Trump every day.

So be it. If respect and decorum cannot be shown by one side there is nothing to be gained by showing it on the other. That doesn't mean we have to become them, or act like they do but it does mean we refrain from elevating and praising them. Let me fix her statement:

"“I mean look, Steve, Joe Biden is a very good guy, I know him, I mean he’s just as nice as they come, but that’s just the problem”.

Praising him is superfluous, it adds nothing to her point and in fact takes away from it. Joe Biden IS the problem and that's all she needed to say.

Haley was signaling. Her laudatory remark of Creepy Joe was ridiculous, but landed well on the ears of the Queensbury crowd; Romney, *Pauleth Ryan, and the rest of the card carrying Globalist menagerie, foreign and domestic.

She’s running in four. Ghack!

Well to tell you the truth, I wasn’t very respectful toward him, and I would have liked to have seen a lot less respect by the cowercons during his reign. and I definitely agree about now. it’s fraternization with the enemy and its not ok.

Full stop.
