“I don’t know why Trump would play their game by making monuments an all-or-nothing proposition. He could have drawn a distinction by noting that Lee was a traitor who fought against the country founded by Washington and Jefferson. It’s not hard to draw a line there. If you want to.”

And it is statements like this that have always convinced me that "Allahpundit" is a political idiot.

You won't gain a single liberal voter by condemning Robert E. Lee, and you will alienate Millions of people who will hold it against you. It costs you nothing to refrain from putting the "traitor" label on Robert E Lee, and it would cost you a lot if you did so.

George Herbert Walker Bush was exactly this same sort of political idiot who was always trying to befriend his enemies and backstab his friends.
