I think that's true, but what I think is EVEN MORE true is this: a lot of conservatives have their fingers in a very Trumpy wind right now, and they're just losing control......
When Trump seems to be the only center of significant political action that is giving more than a nod to conservative desires, it’s easy to pardon him for some remaining lefty gaffes.
The Trump oasis is harder to diss because it’s in the center of a desert.
