The Trumpsters need to spell out which principle they stand on, flip or flop.

Trump will tell them what their principles are.

Then they will go out to explain why they are the best Conservative principles, the smartest principles to the rest of us who are too sanctimonious to discard ours for his.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Actually it is the#Never Trumpers who have chose ego and childish petulance over principals. Reagan had words for the Hate Trump Always squad.


There you go again. With the whole Hate thingy.

I still don't hate Trump, but lets face it, If this was a HR decision, I'd run the ad again. Maybe up the salary.

Trump is still unsuitable for the job.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
