You've been here since 2008 and you're pontificating on the Good Old Days? That's nerve.
Been here since ‘02, bro - just under a different name. Nice to know, though, that even seven years here doesn’t give me enough street cred around here if it comes to criticizing Trump bucklebunnies and whoever doesn’t sit around sniffing the farts of whatever nutjob media personality has managed to stroke the feelbads of the FR “true conservatives”. But whatever, man - the fu$&$ I give on that couldn’t be fewer.
Point is, it happened in ‘12 when a bunch of y’all were convinced that Newt Friggin’ Gingrich - he of the individual mandate, the entitlement reform is a “radical change”, and the coffee klatch on the couch with Pelosi on climate change - was the ONLY true conservative in the race, and odds are it will happen again in ‘20 if we manage to blow this one.
I swear, Jane Fonda could call herself a conservative, throw a few barbs at McConnell and Boehner, and a bunch of FReepers would trip over themselves to support her. “She’s telling the TROOOTH! You’re all just RINO’s if you critcize her!”
