All the WOKE Republican pundits on the TV now...so righteous....screw them.

The problem isn’t merely the normalization of Trump. It’s the normalization of reckless demagoguery, of angry paranoia, of conspiratorial thinking. And those now have a life of their own on the Hill and on the airwaves almost independent of Trump.

GASLIGHT MUCH? You helped launch this idiocrisy by "Normalizing" Palin and thrusting her onto the national stage. Maybe we shouldn't normalize you.

Every time I see MSNBC use Charlie Sykes I could vomit. He was instrumental in Walker's Ryan's etal...rise to power. All of our Wisconsin devils....he helped them.

Schmidt etc too.

If you had a President Mike Pence, giving a gigantic tax gift to the rich, would they all be silent ? That's what is never spoken about. I like that they are standing up (and forcefully), but when, please God, the GOP eventually blows up, do they take part in it again or do they seek to reform/rebuild the party ?

I agree that if they are not sincere then give them no quarter. But we need to stop purity-testing everyone who can help us.

many of them, esp Sykes, go right back to being Rs. Look what Flake does, cleans himself up, then votes with Trump every time...shining his own shoes....

I believe he would normalize someone like Palin all over again.

Bill Kristol has no intentions of helping us. Just the opposite. He puts a warm face on oppressive conservatism. This isn't an issue of purity testing. In any way.
