Plus, he resigned last time. I'm not a fan of anyone who retreats like that.

....since when was it a conservative tenet to want someone to cling to power with ever fiber of their being? Stepping down from personal power for something bigger is what real conservatives celebrate, not condemn.

a primary tenet of conservatives is... if I don’t agree, the taint is on me

it is easier to stab in the back than remain supportive in times of difficulty

That's a fair point. However, consistency and dependability are two important traits. I would not criticize anyone for resigning any position. Folks have their reasons. But neither is that something that should just be ignored.
