I'm thinking they wanted Bergdahl left to rot in Afghanistan so they could bash HRC or whoever else we nominate in '16 with it, as they bashed Carter over the Iranian hostages...while secretly cutting a deal with the 'ban to keep Bergdahl 'til after the election...they'd have assumed this would guarantee them an EC landslide like the Gipper got...then, they would have arranged to have Bergdahl released right after Jeb or whoever else they nominated was sworn in, just like in '81 with the hostages.
And they especially hate Bergdahl's dad because they think, as a registered GOP'er himself, he should have gone along with this out of party loyalty alone.
Seem plausible to everybody else?

(8,224 posts)They are "mad" because his not saying "pretty please" gives an excuse for the latest fake tantrum.
They wrote the law requiring him to consult for this purpose.
