Why I'm for Warren

".... one of the mistakes of the Obama administration was, to put it simply, letting the Bush administration and its enablers get away with it. The fact that no one was prosecuted for the war in Iraq, for the torture policy, for the near-collapse of the world economy essentially wiped the slate clean for others to eventually do worse. And....the 2006 and 2008 elections had punishing Republicans implicit in their heavily Democratic outcomes. Not doing so has led to the GOP breaking every norm, violating every tradition, and wrecking the joint with Trump."


I would argue that this is why we ultimately fell victim to reagan, poppy, dubya, and now the orange anus-- WE'VE BEEN LETTING THEM GET AWAY WITH IT SINCE NIXON. If nixon and ALL of his cabal-- not just a couple handfuls of fall guys-- had been prosecuted to the full extent of the law, we never would have gone down this path. Every time we gave an inch and looked the other way, they took a mile.
We are either a nation of laws, or we are not, and we have been prancing around and talking about "decorum" for far too long. Now we have ended up (hat tip to Mencken for predicting it) with an unhinged boor flailing around in the highest office in the land.

To my eyes, Warren is the only candidate who is willing to MAKE THEM PAY. As we have seen time and time again, a conciliatory attitude does not work. republicans do not give an inch, and neither should we anymore. This is not about playing nice. It is not about reaching across the aisle.

It is about saving this republic.

IT IS TIME TO MAKE THEM PAY, OR ALL IS LOST.
