#MuhPrinciples: NeverTrumpers Decide It's Now Not About the Crime, It's About the Sex

NeverTrumpers, as a group, maintained, like most Republicans, that Clinton's sexual dalliances were not the serious problem -- not commendable behavior, to be sure ("simply reprehensible," as Democrats looking for a half-in-half-out position would bleat), but also not really the concern of the public, at least not in any official sense.

Personally, I wasn't lying when I maintained that. I did not care that Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky, whether in the Oval Office or not; I knew about his history from The New Republic, which supported him but frequently alluded to the almost-certainly-true rumors of rampant infidelity in his past.

What bothered me was the crime -- he lied to a federal judge when he could easily just settle without admitting anything, just saying "I'm settling so I can focus on the job the American people elected me to do."

Instead, he lied. Under oath. The Chief Law Enforcement officer of the United States lied under oath.

NeverTrumpers surely echoed this "It's not the sex, it's the perjury" sentiment.

But now #MuhPrinciples demand a reversal.

I don’t really care about the Stormy Daniels thing. I believe it all happened & don’t condone it, but it’s basically on-brand Trump sleaze. This is who we elected. Polling on this drama shows most people don’t care either & POTUS’ job approval #’s are up...

A rare disagreement w/the very sharp @guybenson. It matters. POTUS and his team lied. And lied again. And again. And again - all about a matter in which their first goal was to deceive. We should care about aggressive dishonesty.https://t.co/sLwbJ6rw4o
— Stephen Hayes (@stephenfhayes) May 3, 2018

As for the lying (not under oath): I have to say I really don't care much about a guy lying about something which quite frankly isn't any of my business and which most people like about. Even if you ask a guy about a woman he might have slept with in a non-adulterous way (i.e., they were single, it was just a casual hook-up), he will probably publicly lie about it because well, you're kind supposed to keep your sexual history secret, and you're supposed to keep other people's sexual histories secret, too.

And really -- you're not supposed to even ask. So if you get lied to about a question you weren't supposed to ask, well, that's on you, Busybody.

Clinton's first lies about Lewinsky weren't public lies -- they were official lies, perjuries in fact, made under oath. He made public not-under-oath-lies after that but only to protect his lies under oath.

But Eternal Principles and all.

Ben Howe makes a somewhat different point: he says he at least wants to see people "condemning" this, rather than "applauding" it. (He claims that people "demand" that he "applaud" Trump when he does something praiseworthy, and says he wants that reciprocated by people "condemning" Trump when he does something bad.)

Well, no one's applauding his infidelity, Ben. Literally no one, except maybe a wag who posts Pepe Memes and is goofing about praising Trump for his Dragon Energy.

As for condemning it -- yeah, infidelity and lying about it are bad.

So there: Considered this condemned.

I'm not sure what that matters. I'm also not sure how we were all elected to the position of Morality Police and Sexuality Scolds. I personally don't really envision myself in that role, and I don't rush to it gladly.

But if I'm being asked "Is this good?" then the answer is: No, this is not good. In fact, it's bad.

But that's not really want Ben Howe wants, or what David French wants, or what Steven Hayes wants.

What they want is for people to say "Oh, we were wrong for voting for Trump to keep Hillary Clinton from the presidency; we should have done what you guys did and supported her, either openly (and somewhat honorably) like Ben Howe did, or covertly (and thus less honorably) like French and Hayes did."

And on that: Sorry, guys. I'm afraid that you guys, like Hillary Clinton, must one day give up your bitterness and blame-shifting over Hillary Clinton's loss.

Trump is a very flawed man, and of course was a flawed candidate, and is a flawed president. While there are some who genuinely dispute this -- wrongly, I'd say -- most people's eyes are open to his flaws, and have always been open to his flaws.

We don't claim he doesn't have flaws.

However, we will hold to our November 2016 position that Trump, even with his flaws, was a better choice of president than the corrupt totalitarian serial-lawbreaking serial-perjuring grifter Hillary Clinton.

You lot disagree with that. You supported Hillary Clinton, whether passive aggressively and dishonestly (French, Hayes) or aggressive-aggressively and virtue-signalling (Howe).

I'm sorry your gal lost, but the election is now fucking seventeen months in the past.

It's time to come out of the woods and put aside the Chardonnay, fellas.

No one believes you're arguing about "principles" here. It's obvious to everyone that you're not arguing about Eternal Principles or American Values; you're arguing about a much smaller and shabbier thing: You're whining that You were right, and damnit, other people should admit we were right!

With a big side of: We've got to protect our phony-baloney jobs!

You were not right. You were right as to many of your assumptions (that Trump is a dishonest guy with barely any knowledge about policy or conservative principles) -- but then, few even argued with you about those.

You are, and were, completely wrong in your conclusion -- that this therefore made the most corrupt presidential candidate in ages and a determined Identity Politics Cultural Warrior a better choice.

Hell, some of you (French, Hayes) are so ashamed of that conclusion you can't even speak it honestly. You have to pretend you were fighting for some imaginary Third Way, instead of admitting you preferred Hillary Clinton.

At some point, you will have to make peace with the thinking that rational people made peace with ages ago, that an election is not an up or down (binary choice!!!) referendum on the moral and characterological qualities of one man, but a comparison on the moral and characterological qualities of two candidates, one of which would be president, as well as -- as if this matters (apparently it doesn't matter so much); the NeverTrumpers are all-in on character questions and treat policy questions as if they were silly distractions -- the policy choices each candidate would make, the legislation each would support, the policy of either enforcement or nonenforcement of immigration laws each would champion, and the judges each would nominate.

You continue treating this as a game where you win if you can merely prove Trump was flawed.

Wrong. We almost all agree that Trump is, was, and will always be deeply flawed.

The actual question, which you continue to avoid in your passive-aggressive childlike evasions, is whether or not, given Trump's flaws as well as your favored candidate Hillary's flaws, Hillary was preferable.

And, as I say: You're so dishonest you can't even admit that what you actually were/are arguing for.

(Ben Howe partly excepted from this, though he doesn't bring up the Hillary-Trump comparative analysis up very often, if at all.)

I get that you guys are Morally Outraged and Deeply Offended.

Let me explain this to you as I would explain it to a Social Justice Warrior (a breed you endlessly-emotional moral scolds increasingly resemble): I don't care if you're Morally Outraged and Deeply Offended.

I don't have time to coddle your infinite sensitivities and smooth over your endlessly ruffled feathers.

Life is hard. Some choices are harder than others. Serious men make hard choices; honest men admit what choices they actually made, instead of serially lying about it.

Deal with it.

And until Hayes, Kristol, Goldberg, and French stop lying and admit that they supported Hillary Clinton for president over Trump, they cannot criticize Trump for lying.

Your only job, your only purpose, is to inform the public about your actual beliefs and preferences.

You had one job: to tell your readers honestly who they should support for president, and who you supported.

You lied in that regard.

You continue lying.

In all likelihood, you will go to your graves lying.

But yeah, let me get all worked up about a notorious sexual braggart now on his third wife banging a porn star.

More: A friend writes (paraphrased), "Something no one talks about is that the NTs actually favored Hillary from a policy perspective as well. Internationalist interventionism, 'free trade', corporate cronyism. That was their candidate."

I'd add in: They actually are largely open borders as well. Free trade absolutists are very sympathetic to, if not outright supportive of, the idea that just as goods should be free to cross borders unimpeded, so too should labor.

This is the position of the Wall Street Journal, which used to declare, every 4th of July, something like, "The immigration policy of the United States shall consist of five words: 'There shall be open borders.'"

They stopped declaring that forthrightly that after 9/11 (whoopsie!), but you can hear this echoing in their rhetoric.

I am willing to put up with The Donald's infidelities because he's a fighter, which is something I want to see, and because the alternative is unthinkable. And the Dems who supported Clinton through that bizarre period of history had similar reasons.

And I also think it was incredibly stupid "we" impeached Bill Clinton over what he said in a civil suit regarding sexual harassment. I certainly know if Trump lied under oath about Stormy Daniels, I don't think it would warrant removal from office.

So I'm willing to admit to the charge that I'm a hypocrite for holding Trump to a different standard. So sue me.
If Democrats had gone along with removal of Bill Clinton, I might have an ounce of shame over the flip flop.

67 What happened to "everybody lies about sex"? I can't recall the number of times I heard that from Clinton apologists during the Clinton/Monica scandal.

Or "they were consenting adults." Yes, except one was in a position of authority over the other, and the other was also barely out of her teens, and both of those are supposed to be no-no's for a middle-aged, married w/kid president.

Bill Clinton was getting blow jobs in the Oval Office from a subordinate while president. Trump banged a professional whore years before he became president. But Trump is the one who should be impeached over sex? GMAFB

73 I am upset that Trump lied, but Ms. Daniels was no doubt paid for her services at the time of the sexual encounter.

I hope he sues the hell out of her for breach of contract. She was paid later (don't know when) to keep her mouth shut.

The fact that this happened ten years ago has me shrugging my shoulders. He was a private citizen at the time, so it's none of my business.

What really upsets me is the Feds tapping Cohen's phones and offices. If they were going on the assumption that this Michael Cohen was the one who travelled to Prague (as part of the Russian [non]collusion matter), then I would assume that everything that followed that flawed reasoning would be inadmissable.

The press and the Dems (but I repeat myself) go on and on with their foul screeching about the man they could not defeat by previously proven means (Romney, and on the state level, Ted Stevens) so they just continue to whore out what little reputation they had left.

What I find fascinating is the popularity of Donald Trump is as high as ever! It shows me that the liars in the press and their human tools like Eric Swallowwell and Adam Schiftt are failing to connect with those who watch the news less than most of the Horde.

The press senses this and has turned it to overdrive, with their new star, the Whore's Attorney becoming the newest star. The Whore's Attorney redefines sleaze.

Yet no actual crimes can be identified, much less proven.

How long will the DemoPress and their human tools in Congress be able to keep this sham going?

Watching Rudi on FandF earlier, I wondered if he would have stepped up and been AG instead of Snoozer McSezzzzzzzzions.

What could have been.................

This should not be foreign to them. This seems to be the standard by which they expect Trump to live.

81 Well, nobody ever, in the history of man, has held high office and done things he isn't particularly proud of, or things that violate one or more of the commandment. Not. Ever.

Uh....

So, now we must condemn all of the presidents with a D near their name, because to my knowledge each and every one of them was a philanderer (with the possible exception of Truman or Carter, and they weren't all that bright to begin with). Right?

We have absolutely forgotten in this country and as a people that only those who have never sinned are allowed to cast stones. Mind your own soul, and see that it is in conformity with your God and His Holy Will. Until then, you can't see past the 2x4 in yer own eye, so quit ogling.

Do I care about other people's sex lives? Only inasmuch as these people may or may not make good role models for my kid. Otherwise, screw donkeys on the front porch for all I care. As a Catholic, I must pray for you and hope that you make it to heaven, and I am also reminded to exercise the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, meaning that I'm supposed to remind you that screwing donkeys on the front porch is probably not going to end you up on heaven, but beyond that, I would become just another puritan scold, battling eyeball 2x4's.

These "journalists" who have issues with Trump's sex life are looking through solid 2x4 glasses. Period.

I do wish, however, that Trump would have the self-control to simply ignore these subjects or to dismiss them when asked about it.. It is way too easy for the press to get under his skin and make him start talking about crap he should simply dismiss as none of your business or irrelevant to his presidency.

101 ace, I see no reason to stipulate that Trump is lying over this thing. The underlying thing, I mean. But I haven't followed it closely. My impression is it's a he said/she said, with all the signs of a typical shakedown of a wealthy target.

But I'm really baffled by the statement that Trump had no knowledge of policy. He was mostly elected because he committed himself to specific policies, all of which represented a big change. And so far he has actually worked to fulfill his campaign pledges more than any president in living memory (save one, but that's too annoying to go back over).

Stifling over-regulation. Taxes. Mass, disastrous lawlessness on immigration/border security. Opioid crisis. Human trafficking. Trade deals. Feckless foreign policy of the Obama idiots.

On each one, Trump ran on very specific approaches, all of which he has implemented, or tried to implement.

Some of these people don't care, or don't understand these policy shifts, but they're the lightweights, not Trump.

Only "flaws" - of consequence - I can see so far is not firing Sessions when it was clear he was damaged goods (self-damaged, and even then not really, but whatever), and not realizing much earlier (have he and his legislative people *yet* realized?) that he had to run against the GOP, gut and change the GOP, quickly, if he is to have much real impact.

As Adirondack Patriot notes, he's been under an NDA, which would explain evasions.

More than anything, for me the reason for voting for Trump was he was working - tirelessly, it seemed - to win the office despite serious headwinds, while Shrillary believed and acted as it she was entitled to it.

116 I think Trumps relationship with the stripper porn star is reprehensible, and I think his general treatment of other people is probably scumbaggy. I just do not care, because America barfed up Hillary Clinton and Bernie The Red to run against him. Election over, and thankfully the least worst of the candidates won. And he's been doing an amazing job, by and large.

Maybe, just maybe, he has subsequently seen the light and has tried to better himself, and is now trying to focus on correcting the damage the commies have done to us over the past eight years (plus). I see no contrary evidence to this so until otherwise he gets a full pass from me.

168 You were not right. You were right as to many of your assumptions (that Trump is a dishonest guy with barely any knowledge about policy or conservative principles) -- but then, few even argued with you about those.

You know... Those guys who these dipshits do claim to have a knowledge of policy and conservative principles (The Boehners, the Paul Ryans, the Romneys) never seem to ever advance any of them, and a lot of times sure look to actually be working against them.

So why the hell shouldn't we go with someone they swore doesn't have the knowledge of it.

169 I voted Trump because I knew I'd get at least *some* good stuff, versus NO good stuff with Felonia. Just how much good stuff, I didn't know (it turned out to be more than I hoped for) but the choice was some versus none.

Plus he clearly loved America and I was very curious to finally find out just how a businessman would do running the country, something I had always wondered about. Never thought it would be THIS businessman, but this was the choice we had. And lastly, the guy worked his damn ASS off for it.

I certainly knew who and what Donald Trump is. I grew up in NY during his real estate heyday. Nobody, but nobody, voted Trump to be pastor in chief.

So the way people are comparing the one (undocumented) set of flaws with a known, disastrous loser like Clinton is very stupid.

And ace as usual you way too easy on these lightweights. They supported an obviously stupid, sociopathic criminal* with idiotic policy "ideas". This is their level of understanding. No reason to treat them as any more serious or intellectually worthy than Maxine Waters or Obama.

252 Stifling over-regulation. Taxes. Mass, disastrous lawlessness on immigration/border security.
____________________

Speaking of which, it's being reported that there were 39,000 apprehensions of illegals on the southern border in April.

Given that BP only catches a small fraction of those who cross illegally, that means that hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens made it across the border undetected last month. That's just one month.

There is currently a backlog of over 1 million cases pending in U.S. immigration courts.

It was recently reported that each "refugee" in the U.S. costs U.S. taxpayers over $40,000 a year, which is more than the average American family earns in a year. Also, more than 50% of immigrants, both legal and illegal, are receiving at least one form of federal welfare.

We have $21 trillion in public debt, which we are now trying to finance by issuing 2-month T bills. Once interest rates get back to a more normal 3% rate, we will be spending more on servicing our massive debt than we spend on defense. In fact, interest payments on our debt will become our third largest government expense, after SS and Medicare.

Despite our dire economic straits, our government continues to allow hundreds of thousands of third-world poor to swarm across our borders every month and many of them will seek, and be granted, refugee status here.

But yeah, the most important issue facing our nation right now is whether or not Donald Trump paid some skanky whore to keep her mouth shut about having had sex with him over a decade ago.

He understands the one most important issue. Our immigration "policy" is destroying us, and for us to fix anything else, we must fix that first as top priority. That's why he was elected. If he manages to do only that, I would say he's the greatest President who ever lived. It may not be possible I admit - Congress, the judiciary and several federal agencies need to be cleaned out.

317 "Free trade absolutists are very sympathetic to, if not outright supportive of, the idea that just as goods should be free to cross borders unimpeded, so too should labor."

Strongly disagree.

Business interests are sympathetic to both, because they are clear, immediate beneficiaries of both. Libertarians are sympathetic to both, because they are both consistent with their ideology.

Free trade and unrestricted movement of labor create very different economic outcomes. Trade is inherently positive, or at the very least neutral, to each party participating in the transaction. Unrestricted movement of labor results in wages averaging out between two populations. When dealing with two very disparate economies, one set of workers' gains quite directly comes at the expense of the other.

Uzo Asonye, an assistant U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, is joining Muellers stable of prosecutors to work as local counsel on the case against Paul Manafort, President Donald Trumps former campaign chairman who has been indicted on money laundering and bank fraud charges.

I don't care if PDT is flawed. He is far less flawed than SCOAMF.

And about that dishonesty, SCOAMF was and is a hell of a lot more dishonest than PDT. In fact, what's honest about setting up a shadow government as he has done? And that's just one out of many examples that can be cited.

There's no comparison between PDT and even the very best Prog, if there is such a thing. We're all far better off with PDT in the WH.

332 I, a married white suburban woman, do not give a damn about this. (And I also think she's lying. Trump is a known germophobe.). We have the best economic negotiating team ever, working to protect American jobs. We have a great Secretary of Treasury, finding ways to get loans for small businesses. We have several agencies repealing overly restrictive regulations. We have respect from world leaders that held us in contempt during the Obama years. We have a helluva lot more folks working. And theres sven a good chance of calming things down in Korea. We'd have more accomplished if all these RINOs would stop whining about Trump and push our agenda through.

I called my senator's office - schumer - and asked the intern if the Senator was a Giants fan. When he confirmed it, I asked the factotum what kind of Giants fan Schumer was if he did everything he could to make Giants QB Eli Manning fail and was rooting for him to fail. "Donald Trump was elected to be the Quarterback of the United States," I said. "So what team is my senator really on?"

Impeachment.

The crazy Resistance womyn who was at the funeral reception I just hosted today, writes these insane letters to the editor of our prog fish wrap. It's all about impeaching PDT "to save the country!"

She drives a car with an I'm With Her sticker and a Resist! sticker. She also had her pinched face up Obama's ass, hoping for another sweet ambassadorship like the one Clinton gave her (France, I believe). I've had encounters with her before. She's a piece of work.

Trump is not of the body. He is a mortal threat to everyone in DC who makes their living by being part of the establishment or in the case of the media being their stenographers.

Notwithstanding any of that, what's happening now is a subversion of our government. Unelected bureaucrats are undermining our government and trying to bring down the president.

One might want to believe a "conservative" would not only oppose that subversion, but start gathering up rope and buildings by a gallows.

What are the so called never trumpers doing? They are clapping like seals as our government is undermined.

I also believe that no one listened to the fact that Cohen paid things for Trump to keep scandal away from him as he was persuing the Presidency. That doesn't mean Trump paid him to pay her off because she was telling the truth. Just the threat of her story was enough to derail him.

401 The Neocon plan for America is quite sensible, really.

Bring in cheap third world labor to replace the white working class (and their votes). They're basically Nazis, anyway, and we should sell them our books lecturing them not to get all tribal and nationalistic and uppity on us. Their communities deserve to die.

De-industrialize the American heartland by imposing free trade with a global governing structure. Move their factories abroad by the tens of thousands.

Turn America into a weak, agricultural, pastoral land that exports crops and raw materials. Eventually it will be divided up into sections and separated.

Oh wait, did I say America? I meant Germany. That's my plan for Germany.

408 One thing about this isn't quite accurate. NR, anyway, was largely censorious about Clinton's sex life, too. Of course, that was almost 20 years ago, so the current crop were mere subalterns then. And of course, NR then was still what it had always been, a forum for very various views. Not true today, when the kiddies have taken over.

(IMO, Lowry killed the magazine. I stopped subscribing when Florence King retired. God, I wish she were around to write about today's politics. She'd be scathing about both Trump and NeverTrump. I'd love to see her let go on the SJWs, in their current condition.)

It's not really a gradual overton window shift, its a sudden, jarring shift.

Given that they complain about Trump about 8 times for every once they did about Obama or any other Democrat, yeah that's kinda obvious. The problem for them is that Trump represents a direct threat to their power and esteem, their positions as voices of the party and advisors. Democrats don't do that. They're the opposition but not the real enemy. The Tea Party movement and those damn voters are the real enemy.

426 I think there is an aspect that Ace didn't cover. I'm guessing some NT think of Republicanism as a brand with an image. They work really hard to buff and polish the brand with an image they would like to be associated with. They defend it from attacks from the other side. Then along comes a man who doesn't really fit the brand, and steals it while confirming some of the flaws the opponents lobbed (in their minds). When that was threatened, they would rather keep the image intact than win. I guess they think it would be a long-game win.

Most of us think of politics as a big compromise, and keep some distance between our person and the party, or at least understand there are different legs on the party stool, but I'm not sure the NT do.

Well, of course your political opinions are
antithetical to hers and she doesn't sound like a pleasant person. On
the other hand, her friend or other loved one died died and that's not
the situation where people are often at their best, as you know. It
seems like this is one of your ministries at the church-coordinating the
hospitality after a funeral which is an important ministry and one that
people appreciate-even if they don't always say that. So you didn't put
something in her drink and I imagine if you dealt with her it was in a
kindly and compassionate manner.

Twitter is the worst fucking invention on Earth (save Trump). It makes the mob seem 1000000x bigger than they actually are, like going after the poor teenage girl for wearing a dress.

429 Harry check Trump's tweet today on the subject. He says she admitted the contrary - no affair - as part of the settlement. None of us know. Yet most seem to just assume it's true.

Wonkensteen reminded me of something else about Trump that is quite interesting. He is, in fact, the most open and candid president we've had in my lifetime. By far.

This of course is a big reason he connected with this voters, and why that connection has strengthened. He rarely parsed his words (quite the contrary), which many voters (correctly) interpreted as what he really thinks, and to their delight it turned out to be what he is actually trying to do.

Stand to be corrected, but I can't think of any president or other major political figure in my lifetime who has stated his positions so clearly, and then stuck with them/pursued them so vigorously and directly.

It's funny, and ironic. As a loud-mouthed Queens real estate developer/marketing guy, of course he's considered a "bulls***ter". Sort of just a cultural assumption. And he hasn't lost all his promotional instincts - he still exaggerates sometimes, and loves his superlatives.

But when it comes to delivering, on vital national policies, while in the highest office in the land - he's infinitely more sincere and candid than almost anyone else in politics.

Shockingly to them, it didn't work out that way and they are still clueless and outraged as to why.

Well the problem is that they don't have x-ray vision and pitchers hate to come out or admit any weakness. So if the pitcher says "my arm is kinda buggin me" the trainer looks, and sees nothing obvious like a compound fracture or bleeding. He says "you think you can keep going?" and there are few pitchers on earth who will say "no" there. They'll all figure they have another inning in them or more.

That is the crux right there. She has signed multiple statements saying Der Trumpenfuhrer had not bagged that game. She signed an NDA and accepted money to go away.

So now she says he did bag that gamey thang, and wants more money.

Was she lying then or is she lying now? In either circumstance, she is a lying whore. So why is ANY credence given her by the MSM?

Because they want to undo November 8 2016. That makes it an attempted coup. One way helicopter rides for the lot of them.

464 It turns out Guy Benson really hasn't reformed from being a dick, after all.

Trump's a billionaire. People make accusations to get money. Is it impossible? No. But the idea that we should simply believe a porn star who already violated an agreement (in other words, "she lied"), well like I said - he's a dick.

Nobody really knows; nobody - except maybe Mrs. Trump - really cares.

If you're in the news/commentary business, and you don't have any facts, professing your BELIEF reflects poorly on you.

Isn't HE the guy who's going to have a new show, with co-star Harf (the serial liar)? I suppose he thinks he's the new Hannity now. He just isn't.

483 Ace: "Wrong. We almost all agree that Trump is, was, and will always be deeply flawed."

And his flaws are considerably less impactful on my life that than the flaws possessed by any other presidential candidate for which I've had a chance to vote.

And Trump, BTW, has good characteristics that far outshine the compromised, bought cesspool of insiders that have been the only option I had ever been previously presented. Given the circumstances of Washington and the Glitteratti, Trump is a Saint.

It's funny getting lectured to by the likes of these NeverTrumpers on How Best To Get Things Done when they haven't done sh*t but flap their gums, record some notes, and take boat trips.

Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at May 03, 2018 05:53 PM (H8S+R)

484 Trump's flaws could not cancel out his positives and the defects of his opponents were greater. Trump kept beating Republican candidates in the primary and Hillary to critical positions on trade, immigration, foreign policy, internationalism vs. nationalism.

The response from the other candidates would be to half heartily follow, outright say it was wrong, or claim Trump was lying without offering anything of their own on the subject.

Maybe Trump is an idiot, but he won because all of his opponents kept getting outmaneuvered by him politically. If you are getting outmaneuvered by someone that is "stupid novice" what does that say about the quality of the political establishment in this country?

If you want to beat someone you first have to make a accurate assessment of of strengths and weaknesses. Everyone seemed to figure out Trump's weaknesses, and never gave much thought to his strengths. Hence Hillary never set foot in Wisconsin...

Posted by: William Eaton at May 03, 2018 05:55 PM (MuTTO)

485 Several weeks before the campaign, ace, you wrote that if Clinton won you would become a Democrat and keep your head down. Many of us got it. Unless someone deliberately chose to be a dissident, it would have been the only rational choice. Recent events prove as much, and even without a police state-type commissar at the helm our government continues to slide toward totalitarianism. Maybe that can be stopped, but probably not.

The Never Trumpers decided some time back our descent into authoritarianism--if they even honestly opposed it--was inevitable and they chose the path of least resistance. The congressional cucks came to the same conclusion as well. None ever will admit it but "Never Trump" was a fig leaf for a surrender that happened long ago.

From a policy standpoint, your friend absolutely is right. While they lie to their respective bases about it, the Democrats and Republicans reached a consensus some time ago that end-of-history neoliberalism, and the attendant open borders and globalism, were inevitable and permanent. Hillary represented that endpoint and Trump was a departure from it, however long that lasts (it's why he historically will be the most important president of our lifetimes).

Finally, the erosion of our civil liberties continues unabated. I find it almost poignant that some in the comments above continue to believe no search warrant would issue without probable cause. That train left the station long ago, and now the destruction of attorney-client privilege begins in earnest.

I still think Trump will survive, and always will be indebted to him for the courage he has shown and never will believe anyone else who sought the nomination would have endured unless they submitted completely to the Deep State and its enforcers. The United States as a democratic entity is another matter. It's hard to put the totalitarian genie back into the bottle and government surveillance and lawlessness probably will grow until either we get the preferred solution of a national divorce or the more likely one of violent upheaval and division. Trump was the last change to avoid either and like most long shots it apparently will come up short. He'll finish his term, and likely be re-elected, but what follows will not dissent in any discernible way from Deep State orthodoxy. That cannot hold, and Never Trumpers chose sides long ago in anticipation of the aftermath.

487 I keep seeing this "deeply flawed" characterization.

To my knowledge his character flaws have been:
(1) Cheating on his wives with some hotty when he was younger.
(2) Anything I see them put here doesn't generally amount to anything, if it isn't outright FakeNews.

If anything, he's pro-American, and has a strong sense of justice - he makes sure to reward people who have done great things for him. And he went to great expense, and a vast amount of trouble to get our country back on the rails.

They complain about him being blunt, but I'll take that over some slick-talking politician blowing smoke up my ass ANY day.

They say he constantly lies, but HE'S the one working hard to fulfill his campaign promises, and his success at that has been remarkable.

"Deeply flawed"? I must be missing something, 'cause those thing are super important, and he's been a LOT more virtuous in those areas than any other national politician. I'd say it's rather the opposite.

We're in a war for the survival of Western civilization, and behind their moral vanity and sanctimony these people are just cowards. Born losers who backstab their own side and grovel to their enemies. At least Trump, for all his faults, has the guts to fight, which in a war is ultimately what matters.

503 Ace, I agree. I could not believe that Donald Trump would be a great, or even a particularly good president (though he's done surprisingly well in a number of areas). But in a contest between himself and Hillary Clinton, it's painfully clear that he would be the *better* president.

Or to put it another way: We elected a vulgar businessman from Queens as president - in other words, we elected President Archie Bunker. But after eight years of President Meathead, Archie is looking pretty damn good.

504 Trump could have (and probably did) bang Stormy Daniels like a cheap Chinese gong. And based on Stormy's track record as a porn actress, the emphasis should be on the word "cheap". And you know I don't give flying bushel of monkey poo about that. He wasn't any angel, and we knew that going in.

What I do care about is that he can, and does, bang Little Rocket Man about the head and shoulders until we come to some kind of Korean peace. And frankly the future ain't lookin' too bright for the Iranian mullahs. So far, it's all good.

505 As a boy I learned at my Dear Mother's knee how to spot a racket. In secondary school we had, among other things, _Julius Caesar_ and _MacBeth_. This was my education in politics and served and continues to serve me well. Never read newspapers or followed broadcast news because they never got to the good stuff. One day in 2005 while channel surfing something made me stop and go back. It was Donald Trump dismantling O'Donnell. (I never use her given name because that is how my Mother was known to her friends.) He was calm and measured and matter of fact with a bemused expression.

"You can't make false statements, O'Donnell will rue the words she said. I'll most likely sue her for making those false statements---and it'll be fun. O'Donnell's a loser. A real loser. I look forward to taking lots of money from my nice, fat, little friend."

This was the good stuff. A big time operator publicly facing down a TV bully.

Trump did not attack O'Donnell. O'Donnell attacked Trump and attacked Miss USA who was under Trump's protection. Then it was war and Trump did not just respond. He went for unconditional surrender.

Donald Trump is not deeply flawed so you can stop with that. Donald Trump cares about those under his protection and upholds his word.

507 I didn't vote for Trump. Voted for McMullin, which I regret. Thrilled Hillary lost. Not thrilled with Trump as POTUS since morally and ethically he is a dirt bag and I question his mental stability, but his administration and "style" have produced many positive results. That said, my main problem with Trump supporters are the evangelicals, many of them my friends and family, who say Trump is God's representative on Earth and completely dismiss his immorality by anointing him a modern day King David (that's not hyperbole, they literally say that). Even though I don't consider myself a christian, I believe it is one of the greatest forces for good in this world and I admire men of deep Christian faith. But the ease with which they have discarded their principles to excuse Trump's immorality bugs the hell out of me.

Posted by: Sq_stDownOurWay at May 04, 2018 11:27 AM (rl2c4)

508 Like DownOurWay I voted for McMullin. My (probable pipe) dream was that neither candidate would win the majority of the electoral college votes. McMullin faded in Utah in the final weeks, but I voted for him hoping for a last minute change of heart for some. I didn't feel like I could vote for either candidate in good conscience and also was ambivalent about the actual governing results and power dynamics vs all GOP or split GOP congress with Dem executive branch.

My calculus was whether running up trillions more debt like we tend to do in this country under a united government was worth losing the supreme court seat. I have a feeling Hillary would've been mostly stonewalled and we'd have a $4-500 billion deficit now instead of a $1.5 trillion deficit. Under Obama, deficits declined when republicans gained control of congress. I think that trend of would've continued.

On the plus side of PDT's presidency so far, we have a conservative justice, reduced regulations and reduced taxes which I applaud. We've also unearthed tons of corruption in the bureaucratic class. I'm still not sure if it is worth another trillion in debt though. I'm deeply worried about the fiscal future of this country.
