The Never Trumpers
We see a lot of them on the TV lately. MSNBC, as but one example, has them on panels and even as anchors (Nicole Wallace). We read insightful anti Trump and even anti republican ideas from the likes of Jennifer Rubin and Steve Schmidt. JoeAndMika, although pretty pro Trump a year or so ago, now as anti Trump as one can be. Charlie Sykes. George Will. And the list goes on.
These are all people with whom we liberals disagreed on almost everything. Yet, today, in the face of the ChaosThatIsTrump, they seem like friends.
And maybe they are.
The way forward in any society is the middle. Someplace within a standard deviation from dead center. Slightly left. Slightly right.
When you think about it, we have never had a president who was such an outlier as is this one. The worst of them were still within that standard deviation.
I will probably never agree very much with, say, Steve Schmidt. But I can respect him. I can respect his reason and his rationality. I believe he thinks as much of this country and our society as I do. I dare say I share the larger goals for our society with the likes of him and well as the likes of Maxine Waters. The details differ greatly. And that's what an elected congress works through. That's the way it was all my life.
Well, maybe until the time of Newt Gingrich, when collegiality gave way to gang warfare.
I'd like to see the Never Trumps once again get back in power on their side of the aisle. I do honestly believe they would act collegially. If for no other reason than they now see how very badly off the rails we have gotten.
Just musing . . . . . .

with their own agenda. I may enjoy their anti-Trump rants but I don't trust them one bit. They'd be thrilled to get Pence in, he'd be effective in passing his fundie right-wing agenda while coming across as reasonable and coherent.
