And the man who was ousted early from the Republican primaries of 2016 gave a decidedly mixed review of the first term of President Donald Trump, who bruised him often on the campaign trail.

Civility is simply code for doing things the globalist way. The conflicts aren’t real, they all want to accomplish the same thing, manage America’s decline.

FU Jeb.

The rape and murder is really an act of love guy thinks he is somehow in a position to urge somebody else to return to civility?

“Civility in politics” is dogwhistle for “shut up.”

Civility is defined as lying to us constantly, using your media friend to control the narrative, doing everything you can to destroy Trump during the summer of 2016. These establishment guys resort to these arguments when they are losing. They pour gasoline on everything, light a match and say, “Can’t we all just befriends?”
