Wrong on policy but an opponent you can respect.

back policies that they know are demonstrably incorrect?

Im beginning to believe that the soul of a survived GOP is a libertarian-social center set free of the religious busy-bodies (nobody cares what drugs take or what you do with your naughtybits) surrounded by a kind of social/economic fairness (wall street ISNT gonna regulate itself) and that understands that regulation of the market and protection of the environment are NECESSARY Kantian 'evils' in a Utilitarian society.

I think Steve might be ahead of the curve here.

When he put Palin up in the spotlight it was a gamble and it came up snake-eyes for him, because I think he underestimated the levels of Deplorableness in his own Party's base, and I think it was an eye-opening lesson for him. I think he knows now how bitter the medicine will really have to be, and he isnt afraid of it anymore (he's seen it up close and personal)

with a hot mic and live cameras he called Trumps "economic agenda" "batshit crazy" and a minute later said "The GOP needs Trump like they need herpes". Which in my mind negates his helping to bring Sarah Palin into the national focus.

And it looked like aj choked on that.

to and old man sitting on the bench, mumbling to himself, and feeding the squirrels.

I have to give him that.
