Senate Democrats to Boycott Treasury and HHS Sec. Vote - One Dem. Vote Needed to Move Forward

Trump is not a conservative. And he’s not a Republican either, other than the fact he bears the party label. In no way should Trump have ever hijacked the GOP to his nationalist, populist ends. But he did. The fate of the party itself is yet to be determined. We’re 12 days into Trump’s term, for Pete’s sake, and somehow doctrinal purity is still based on complete opposition or complete subservience to President Trump.

Does that make sense by any measure? It’s a ridiculous and untenable position without any connection to reality.

So, for the millionth and last time.

#NeverTrump is dead, because the election is over.

Trump won. He is president.

When the president (whoever it is) does something that supports conservative values, we should support that particular thing.

We do not all have to agree on every policy move, on the substance or motives, but we can agree to disagree.

Those who oppose Trump simply because he’s Trump are really opposing our form of government, demanding a “do-over” because they don’t like the outcome.

Being formerly #NeverTrump and now call them as we see them is not unpatriotic or somehow compromised–or Forever Trump.

We have to continue to support the American government and our place in the world. We cannot stop loving football because the team we hate won (did we do that with Obama?). We do not have to pick a team and cheer. We can stand for policies and principles without passing some doctrinal purity test based on our opinion of one man.

Those like New Republic who think we ought to take the ball and go home, that somehow we can win a “do-over” and force Trump to leave office are delusional.

If people want to be delusional, that’s fine. Just stop asking us to agree with fantasy.

What about calling a guy an "asshole"?

Look in a mirror, try it out. Might surprise you how good it feels to be accurate and succinct.

You're deflecting again.

Were you accurate and succinct when you called that one guy an "asshole"?
