Fanaticism is never pretty. No matter the side or the person.
First we had a whole bunch of psychologically-needy people form a cult around a VERY flawed candidate - a political operative and supposed "developer" with no dirt on his hands but a full-and-fast Rolodex. Huge amount of money and no demonstration how or why. But his was classic Eric Hoffer - the Angry Gesture; the raised middle finger.
Okay, that's different. But we saw HOW different when he showed he didn't understand where stand-up ended and slander began. Or that a run for political office is not a popularity contest; that somewhere along the way, you have to take positions and communicate them.
Didn't matter. The cultists had their Golden Calf. And they pushed him forward and cheered, in some cases helped, the stalking-horse gin the vote tally. And every time the Orange Julius did NOT get his way, we got a tantrum that would make Barry Dunham-Soetoro blush.
They got their way. With a very loud, very uncouth, rich-from-graft-kickbacks CIPHER. Stands for NOTHING.
And now for this, we have to endure the threats and the shaming, the claimed moral high ground, by these worshippers of the Golden Calf. The same supposed Conservatives who were offered a near-ideal candidate, with several strong-but-lesser choices...now THEY try to shame OTHERS into this.
No. It's the CANDIDATE'S JOB to sell his program. And this candidate isn't going to be able to sell Smoot-Hawley to informed voters. He's not going to be able to sell Porkulus II, the MOAR MONEY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE plan, to those of us who remember past last week. He's not going to get my vote with another round of beating up his strawman, his Emmanuel Goldstein, Cruz.
He has to work for it. Work HARD; because the nation is in only slightly-less destructive hands should he win.
You trumpies want to talk about MORAL? The MORAL thing to do would be to demand this slimy loud Tammany errand-boy to STEP DOWN. No, not some cute "replacement" plan that puts Shrub in there. Get God the Donald to do it himself. Step down and let Pence run with it.
Last exit off. If you don't do it, don't demand it...the coming wreck is on YOUR heads.
