I was being too “big tent” as fellow Geminis tend to do (George HW Bush, Kissinger, Trump). Each was betrayed, you’ll notice.
It is better to be strict like you because so many people are not worth the benefit of the doubt.
I know Beck will shortly act like a weird goofus and say he is again off the Trump train—especially if ratings or sponsors push that trend for him. A similar creep is Michael Savage. I won’t listen to him again. Should I name drop Ann Coulter, too? Maybe not.
Isn’t anyone normal these days? Out of fashion.
You gave me a great post which is food for thought. Thanks.
Thanks for the nice response Frank.
Yes, the Big-Tent thing is very problematic. It’s why we have so many “moderates” or “RINOS” in the Republican camp. It’s why we can’t get things passed Congress even though we have the majority.
I would go with each of those people you mentioned. When folks go off the reservation not all that infrequently to garner support from Centrist or Leftist quarters, I won’t have use for them again.
It’s bad enough all the “concern trolling” that goes on. When they start openly trashing something he’s done, it’s generally a big mistake.
