#1 As the new year approaches I vow not to repeat the same comments on every Trump vs The RINO's article. But God Allmighty, in every sense of the description Trump is the ultimate RINO. He's new to the party and only for a vehicle for his Presidential run. And even then he threatened to break as an independent. Moreover, Trump has had (and continues to have) nothing but contempt for the party apparatus. He breaks with a number of traditional Republican policies. Trump is NOT a conservative. In fact, many of his proposals are liberal. He has a thumbless grasp of the US Constitution and could give shit who cares. He has even boasted that he will continue Croney capitalism as way to "get things done". His foreign policy is clouded but certainly breaks with traditional Pub orthodoxy.
This is NOT a judgment on the man nor his policies. This is an observation of an absurd narrative developing that it's spineless politicians standing in a true Republican President's way.

#2 Sigh. How did I know as soon as I read the headline that Lindsey Graham was involved?

#3 Trump is NOT a conservative.

Define conservative. If you think Lindsey Graham is a conservative then, OK, I'm a liberal.

#4 Obstructionists congress-critters will be up for re-election sometime in the near future. The voters may have to impose term limits on them. I thought the legislation for a building a wall was already in place from several years back.
