As of Monday morning, it still depends on who "you" is. He is not sending the army against billionaires yet. He is not sending the army against cities in states with Red Governors and legislatures yet. He is not targeting tariffs and other extortion against CEOs who bring golden gifts yet. He is not sending the army or the FBI against anybody who kisses his ass every single day, yet. But Bolton slipped up by getting off the ass-kissing schedule.

But it is only Monday. I bet this post doesn't age well beyond Wednesday.

Why didn't she bash FDR Biden and wag her finger during strongly worded rallies about how terrible the U.S. and the Democratic Party are?

But she didn't stop wars in other countries all by herself. But she didn't fix immigration single-handedly. But she talked about Trump too much. But ... um ... eggs.

never stuck to him. But Trump was coated with something more powerful than Teflon; loathsome behavior not only didn't stick, it made him stronger. The worse Trump behaved, the more millions of voters seemed to like him." Chris Whipple, "Uncharted"

Why why why why why do Republicans get this protective and alluring coating that lets them get away with everything. Oh wait, I'm sure someone will smugly explain why it's Democrats' fault for not stopping it, or bringing baby lotion to a Teflon fight or something.

or earlier, sometime between Tilden/Hayes and Goldwater. Obviously Lincoln was not Conservative. Hayes, the Republican, was still the liberal candidate. Teddy Roosevelt was Republican and standing up for the poor, broke up the corporations, went after the Robber Barons, regulated industries, etc.--but got there by being the VP for assassinated Robber Baron puppet McKinley. By Hoover, Republicans were conservative. But he was involved in humanitarian operations like feeding the hungry during WWI that we'd never now associate with a Republican. Eisenhower was asked by both parties to run, and believed in taxing the rich.

So I think we can attribute Goldwater, Nixon, and Reagan for today's Republican party. But Goldwater was pro-choice, and a Reagan-Bush debate shows both having kind words for immigrants.

W.Bush took it to another level, who knew there would be someone worse? Then there were the people behind them: Carl Rove, Grover Norquist, the Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, and several corrupt Supreme Court Justices....

OK, I know you didn't mean to go deep historical on the Republican party. i agree with your point.

mostly Mexican Americans, and saw, felt their. and their parents needs, helped get the region electrical power...all before getting into politics.

He was a wheeler dealer pol with not entirely clean hands but he learned how to win and get things done which helped tremendously as Senate Majority Leader, then later as president partnering with civil rights leaders to get major civil rights laws passed, and then his Great Society programs which extended FDR's New Deal programs and were more inclusive for minorities.

He's bashed for his Vietnam policies, justifiably, but he got bad info and guidance from the top military brass and admin advisers.

On the whole I'd say there were more positives than negatives during his time in office.
