I was just sitting here on this fine Monday morning wondering what @RoosGirl thought of me. Yes indeed.
Its really pretty obvious to anyone not blinded by their hatred of Trump. The NFL kneeling issue is a massive win for Conservatives and people who love this country. We've taken a significant leftist stronghold supported by the nations most powerful leftists and made them back down.
Instead of celebrating you are throwing mealy mouthed insults at the Vice President because he condemned people showing disrespect for our nation, our flag and our anthem. And you think I'm the one with the problem?
HA
DD, methinks you're confusing "conservatives" with "populists". Trump is not a conservative, and using the flag protests for political means is pure populism.
As a conservative, those who protest have every right to do so, as I have every right to quit spending time and money on the NFL. Anyone with a viable cerebral cortex could have guessed that at least several members of the 49ers would take a knee during the anthem. IMO, the Vice President has a viable cerebral cortex; ergo, he should have known what to expect.
Trump is using the Democrats' playbook, i.e. never waste a good crisis. It's what he does, and he does not care what happens to the reputations of those who work for him.
Don't confuse my personal disgust with Trump as blind hate...there's a difference between the two, and members of the Orange Brigade would be well served to put down the KoolAid. He's not going to win reelection with 35%, i.e. his base.
