Wonder if it ever occurred to them that “picking fights” with the right people and “settling scores” with the right people are PRECISELY what conservatives have been waiting for.
There are many, many, political "viewpoints" out there that need to be burned to the ground by reality and falsifiability. Defense of boutique political crusades have to be made on their own merits, not by way of marketing campaigns from the MSM.
I don't much care for Trump on a personal level the way he projects himself, but on the other hand, I am all in on someone who eschews the standard "My esteemed colleague on the other side of the aisle" fare in favor of something a bit more...pointed.
In these nauseatingly politically correct times, I can vote for a man like that. We are far, far beyond finding common ground with the opposition, many people (including many conservatives) don't see that truth yet.
