Funny, isn't it? Just pick a party, and be loyal to whatever that party is up to today.
@BSM1 said so, too. Yet, the Republican Party of today is most assuredly not that of Lincoln. And likewise, the Democratic Party of today isn't anything like the one Bobby Kennedy was running for when he gave his magnificent address on the race riots of his day, just two months before he was killed.
It does look so very much to me like knee-jerk reactionism -- "my party right or wrong" -- when I believe in asking the parties vying for my favour to tell me what they're offering by way of policy, leadership and approach.
Trump?
- More than 12,000 false or misleading statements during fewer than 1,000 days in office
- Insults everybody, and whole nations ("fine people" people on both sides in Charlottesville, "****hole countries
- Said there were “very fine” people on both sides in Charlottesville, accused a judge of Mexican heritage of being unable to do his job, calls African and Caribbean nations “s---hole countries” and wants only immigrants from safely white Norway)
- Racking up deficits liberals could only dream of, but "fiscally irresponsible?" Good heavens, no!
- Prefers dictators to democratic leaders, but surely wouldn't want to become one ("maybe I'll serve more than 8 years!"
- The slams against women (grab 'em by the feline bits), and suggesting Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) would trade sex for campaign contributions, but surely never a “misogynist.”
- Pooh-poohs climate change, even though it's happening
- Mostly not working (on "executive time" or more often the golf course)
- Doesn't read intelligence briefing (or anything, really), but "lazy?" Certainly not!
- He really does offend the rule of law, and he disparages the First Amendment, the separation of powers and the courts at every chance he gets.
- How many incompetent advisors has he hired -- then had to fire? In any competent business, this would be seen as complete lack of managerial acumen.
- Changes policy on a whim, usually on social networks, then reverses himself later, but rest assured, he's neither impulsive nor erratic.
As so often in the past, I give thanks that he's your President, and not my Prime Minister (about whom, even though I'm a Liberal, I have complaints as well).
