    You shouldn't hold love of country against people.

    What I don't think the #NeverTrump folks realize -- or maybe they don't care -- is that if they abandon the nominee, they'll never be able to put the party back together:

    The truculent, often crude, language he’s using to articulate his ideas is so outside the norm that top Republican thinkers in Washington have started floating the idea of a new party. They include Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol who, in December, took to social media to ask this question: “Crowd-sourcing: Name of the new party we’ll have to start if Trump wins the GOP nomination? Suggestions welcome.”

    If the party were to disintegrate, the Chamber of Commerce Republicans who want minimal regulation and immigration reform could go one direction, while the religious wing that focuses on abortion and sexuality would go another.


    For some, Donald Trump’s golden brand has lost shine - The Boston Globe

    Even if you want to make a "we'll be better off if we lose" argument, it still makes the most sense to go down fighting for the nominee.

    Anything else means having to rebuild a broken party, with no guaranty that it will happen.

    And, once one wing of the party has chosen to abandon the nominee, other factions are sure to do the same in future elections.

    Why do you suppose he didn't post polling on those issues?

    Then how did she manage to be a huge fuck-up with all that "keen understanding"?

    Why? I have a shitload of liberal friends, many where we enjoy debating politics and others where we don't. Once again, you're wrong about everything.

    If you "debate" politics the way you do here, I find this very hard to believe.

    It's okay, tony. We all know you never admit to anything even when you are clearly busted.

    The point of your initial post was to claim someone else can't see through the hate to clearly understand conservatives. That was laughable because the same is absolutely true of you and liberals.

    Most of my liberal friends are a lot smarter than the liberals here. ;)

    It's kind of funny, considering you've never "busted" anyone here and you think you've "busted" everyone here.

    Yeah, I figured some of y'all would get a laugh out of that one.
