A distinction without a difference. So, your argument is that Hillary would have appointed Judge Gorsuch and a BUNCH of other conservatives to the courts...as Trump has done. How is that not a difference? Your argument must also be that Hillary would have pulled us out of Paris, renegotiated NAFTA, cut regulations dramatically (469 withdrawn and 860 pending regs killed), held out on DACA for a border wall and vastly superior enforcement...and cuts to legal immigration. In short, you have no argument. A peawit could see that Hillary would be appointing Lib judges up and down the ranks...including the Supreme Court...legalized and vastly added to DACA...added a bazillion more regs...embraced Paris AND the Kyoto environmental baloney. And that's the short list. So feel free to argue against the President, but quit telling that dimwitted lie that its a distinction without a difference...because its self evident that the difference is broad and deep.
Howabout a big steaming cup of 'Oh, Hell No!'
Precisely why I left your insipid, traitorous party.
I'll hold my principles till I'm dead and gone.
Not going to happen. I am gonna yell about it every damn day and make sure folks know the difference between Conservatism and mere Republicans, and show Republicans for the back biting traitorous group they are.
Everyone on this board has every bit the solid principles you wish to claim as yours alone. Some, fortunately, are not dumb enough to believe that "holding them till you're dead and gone" while ensuring they absolutely have zero chance of ever becoming law...is a smart political strategy. We live in a Republic, not a dictatorship.
EVERYONE thinks their principles are pre-eminent...if nobody is willing to compromise politically because they will only accept getting their own way on everything...then "government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall surely perish from this earth". Your approach is little more than a call for the dictatorship of "roamer"...in which all of his principles become law and he can dismiss everyone else's. Dumb...is not a strong enough word.
Selfish and shortsighted don't encompass it either...even arrogant and smug fall short. Perhaps collectively, though, these adjectives approach describing your position.
