Democrats say that Donald Trump is evil because he is a liar, cheater and a thief. Because he’s so bad, they say, almost any tactic is justified in getting rid of him. Does that include lying, cheating and stealing?

Lie, cheat, steal? Yes, Donald J. Trump is the first politician in human history to do any of those things.
I recall how Reagan just went ahead and walked across the Constitution to get what his party told him to get.
Then Bill Clinton compromised on a bunch of things.
Then President Cheney simply went and did whatever he wanted and got everything.
Then Barack Obama made some speeches and compromised on a bunch of things and (scuffs shoe in an aw, shucks gesture) wasn’t able to appoint any federal judges because … reasons and stuff.
Then Trump mocked a man with a withered arm and acted like an ill-mannered lunatic for two years during the campaign and not only mowed down all the Republican competition, but also beat Hillary “Inevitable” Clinton in a fair fight. And Trump got to appoint hundreds of federal judges (see Obama).
Then Biden, after six years of Trump cra-cray, barely beat him. Biden then screwed up the evacuation of Afghanistan. And his “signature” environmental bill was gelded by one rogue member of his own party that he couldn’t control. Then he couldn’t get student loan forgiveness done. Then he turned against the environmentalists. Biden’s only got a year left. I wonder how much more compromising he can get done.
Does anyone else see the trend line? The Republicans succeed, at a far greater rate, because they take. They don’t ask. They don’t compromise. Unless it’s for their megadonors, the democrats never do that. Imagine if they tried. …
Lie, cheat, steal … provoke a (proxy) fight with the world’s most advanced & self-sufficient army … escalate to a three-front war with plans for 2 more fronts (after miserably failing against some of the world’s poorest shepherds, after 20 years) … including a bit of genocide now under global scrutiny at the UN’s ICJ.
ANY:::Eff’n:::Thing – except considering, much less presenting, a legitimate presidential candidate!!!
