38. Yes, I agree. Trump is a reckless anomaly

Thu Nov 15, 2018, 02:08 PM

Nov 2018

Beyond even how a 'normal' Republican would behave.

I also think though, that McConnell and that group are just waiting for the exact time where they can't use Trump for cover anymore to push their 1% agenda, and then they will flip too. And they will run some candidate that rejects Trumpism. All the while endorsing a lot of the things he yelled about. But he'll talk nicer, say all the right things, and, in comparison to Trump, he will look downright scholarly.

I hate how they will be able to do this. Raise the crazy bar, and then come back down to a level that now, in contrast, will seem moderate. And I think many Republicans and Republican leaning folks that will be relieved Trump is gone, will come back to the flock.

That's why, even though its tough to do, our leaders should not talk Trump ,but GOP policies that he has overseen and signed off on
