It's not your lack of zeal that offends, but your unfailing, and unverifiable, negative assessments.

I wonder how you maintain your "self-respect" in light of your measured yet erroneous analysis since predicting Trump's 24% ceiling during the primaries.

Come on, you are intelligent enough to distinguish between adherence to principle and an error in prediction, it is the former that has to do with self-respect.

Would you demand a similar mea culpa concerning self-respect from yourself and from virtually everyone else in this forum who have predicted victory if Trump loses?
