Evangelicals and other groups of conservatives don't like this sort of public humiliation and trashing of a well respected conservative of longstanding.

I tend to agree. I'm very glad that Hillary isn't our President. But that doesn't mean that I have to fall at the feet of Trump and worship him. In manner he is, simply put, a jackass. Perhaps we need some of that in these corrupt times. But it doesn't make that a type of character to be highly desired or that we would like to see emulated by family and friends. Maybe that's how they do it on the streets of New York, but it will eventually grow old in many parts of the Heartland.

For those who worship him, let me say this: First these out of control hissy-fits are directed by Trump and his worshipers at Sessions and soon after at Breitbart News. Then it will be at me, and soon it will be at you. It's not easy to be an insider with someone who views everyone as the enemy.

I'm thankful for Trump's Supreme Court appointment and for some other actions. I hope that he will continue to champion our causes and not just his ego. Bravado and swagger may win the day, but character is more important for the long term. The President has feet of clay and doesn't realize it or is unwilling to admit it. I hope that President Trump acquires more character, that he succeeds as a leader, and will one day be remembered as a conservative icon. The fact that I don't fall at his feet and praise even his shortcomings doesn't mean that I don't wish him well.

In manner he is, simply put, a jackass.

If Sessions knows Trump wants him to resign, and if the reports are true that Sessions is going to "stand strong" anyway, then it means Trump's criticisms are valid, since Sessions is disobeying the President. Having people approach the media to complain about being treated bad by the President, and to say he knows Trump wants him to resign, is not the behavior of a humble servant of the President.

This is the elephant in the room and why elitist "Oh, Trump is such a jackass" knee jerk reactions are short sighted.

Luckily, this was always a minority position despite being predominant on social media forums. History has shown Trump supporters aren't going around pearl clutching when fights break out or sacred cows are poked.
