Who can claim unflagging loyalty in perpetuity to any political figure? <br /><br />I voted for Trump for two reasons at least, and stated so. <br /><br />1st. Hillary was committed to war in Syria and very probably with Russia. This was/is madness. She is a psychopath in my view and a bungling one at that. Not a good combination. Tump is a narcissistic character with little impulse control. Still, that beats the Hilary alternative. Trump was the superior choice due to his success in the real world of business. It's possible to fail upward in politics and even government. Not so in commercial real estate. He can and does make rational decisions where things are art stake. <br /><br />2nd. I hoped that he, Bannon and the populist nationalists would collapse the dysfunctional GOP establishment. If the GOP could become an engine of traditional patriotic Americans rather than a plaything of the donor class that would be enough for me. Doesn't look like this is happening but given the chaotic nature of the administration due to Trump's own spastic style anything may yet happen. <br /><br />I always thought and said that Trump was a singularly bizarre character. Bad choices make for hard results. Perhaps the GOP has met its end and this will lead to a new, focused party able to put forward reliable leaders?<br /><br />Better Trump than Hilary. Thomas O.

They don't have to be even a little bit accurate in their claims, because they get a pass from the media. <br /><br />Not so easy for Conservatives - They typically hesitate to speak publicly or don't speak out at all. The leftist media's job is to spin the facts. Conservative speakers will have their words and, often, their personal lives dissected by the media in an effort to discredit and humiliate the Conservative, while burying the original message.Sue Iannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00256219132045102130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895895833188404571.post-56592707496183679012015-12-17T23:48:56.394-05:002015-12-17T23:48:56.394-05:00I can't believe that I didn't reply to thi...I can't believe that I didn't reply to this.

We need to get tougher on crime, including drugs, in my opinion. Don't know why Republicans don't use this to their political advantage.

Senator Sessions and a number of police commissioners are speaking out but I think it's too late.

While I expect the Cultural Marxists to take aim at Davis as a step in their long march to deconstruct what is left of the original American republic it is the so-called "conservatives" I have the most contempt for. That gang of GOP grovelers that Nikki Haley assembled around her when she announce she wanted the legislature to have another vote to take down the Army of Northern Virginia flag over the Confederate memorial is a case in point.
