I usually thank people for responding to my posts.

But in view of the curt answers I’ve received on this present matter, I’m not sure I’d care to this time around.

I wouldn’t call your posts flames, but they have a certain peremptory tone that I personally try to avoid at all times.

I will restate my initial position: I remain neutral on Sen. Graham. For that matter, I reserve my right to remain neutral on any issue — or change my mind when the facts change.

But don’t think for one moment that I haven’t read a lot of opinions about Graham here on FR.

The ultimate reason I remain neutral about Graham and a lot of other Republicans is simple.

We’re at war with the Left. You go to war with the army you have. Not the army you wish you had.

We know all too well that there are a lot of weak, cowardly GOPers in Congress.

But if you had to deal every day with a slanderous, mendacious, vicious news media that distorts everything you say ... well, I don’t know many people with the intestinal fortitude to withstand that.

I wish the typical GOPe legislator was tougher — but then, I don’t have to deal with the pressures they face.

So, I save my hate for the RATs. The GOPe may underperform consistently, but at least they don’t want to destroy the economy and abrogate our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

I know that’s a weak endorsement, but at least it’s consistent with the facts as I see them. Sen. Graham and the other mediocrities in Congress just don’t matter all that much to me.

This troubled nation has only one leader worthy of the name: Donald J. Trump.
