    While you're making stuff up, you should reconsider the lies you regularly spew about Chicago.

    Not become each other, because we need differing views and perspectives, but less of an "all-or-nothing" mindset.
    Yes, we really do need that.

(The technical term for that might be “the Democratic Party.”)

    Jennifer is correct. What David Brooks is looking for is the Democratic Party. That is what almost every sane American should be seeking.

    Me...ehhh...I'm an Independent. But sometimes ya gotta boost the other guy!
    I don't blame Brooks for not breaking with the Republican Party. If he is a conservative, he should stick with his party and speak up and stand up to the racists, xenophobes, homophobes, Science haters, and misogynists that hi-jacked and wrecked his party.

    He can't do that and turn around and vote for Donald Trump. So put up or shut-up Brooks!

    BUT ON SUBJECT- WOW! HER MESSAGE HIT'S HOME TO SO MANY!

    You write:

    Something else than American conservatism...that disgusting blight on humanity.


    What would succeed it?
    Something other than American conservatism...that disgusting blight on humanity.

    Thank you for asking, TA.

    Stop with the facade that Jennifer Rubin is a conservative Republican. She is nothing of the sort no matter how the WaPo tries to label her.
    The Washington Post and I both label her a LIBERAL.

    Read what I wrote...and see that you distorted the intent. My point that a liberal, like Jennifer Rubin is boosting the correct party...as are the many conservatives I mentioned. They are disgusted with Trump...as well they should be. It is not only liberals and middle-of-the-roaders who find him to be a disgusting abomination...but also many influential conservatives.



    I'm a Republican who did not vote for Trump so I have no issue with others who do the same. BUT there is a difference between being a Republican/conservative and not supporting certain things he does and being what Jennifer Rubin has become.
    I understand you not supporting certain things Trump does...thoroughly. I truly grok that. I felt that same way about Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein. I just did not support certain things they did.

    She has true TDS and even when Trump does something conservative she is now against it. That's the difference. You know longer have any principles you are simply against whatever this person does no matter how you've felt about the issue prior. And people have complied her past tweets and it is not a pretty site. (If you want a point of comparison it's equivalent to all things Trump tweeted about Obama when Obama was in office and then Trump doing the same things once he was in office.)
    My opposition to Trump has less to do with politics...than the fact that I think him to be the most ignorant, stupid, bumbling, incompetent, classless person ever to represent America on the world's stage.

    I thought I had made that clear.

    But, I appreciate the opportunity to say it again.

    Thank you for sharing what you assume, Chaz, but Jennifer Rubin is sharp as a tack.

    I appreciate what you are saying, Archives, and there may be some truth and worth to it. But it is my opinion that American conservatism is a blight on the planet...

    ...and I was addressing American conservatism NOT the GOP. So your comments about the GOP really do not apply here.

    Frank, you will repeat it again and again. No justification needed.

    You should be getting ready to go golfing!

    Visited the golf course yesterday to see a few friends. Did not play...or even consider playing. The temp felt like 95. People were going out. Not sure how they do it, but most looked much younger than I. I take my short, fast walk (about a mile and a quarter) each morning before it gets too hot.

    I cannot wait for America to be rid of this disgusting man, Trump.
