7. Navarro to me is an exception: I find think her irrepressible outrage at Trump very personnal & real

I'm a constant MSNBC early eve viewer (CH,RM, LO') and still get uneasy with MSNBC giving the "good Republicans" so much airtime on these three shows. I never see these "good Republicans" criticize the Republican past or ideology that has led to Trump. For example do they ever criticize/warn against the Koch Bros or ALEC or mention that Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached now that it's clear that he bold faced lied ( Anita Hill) his way onto the Supreme Court or propose scrapping the cap on Soc Security Taxes?. Rejecting Trump's savage style gives them the best of both world's...continued airtime ($) without renouncing their own core beliefs. IMHO.

I was kind of on the Richard Painter bandwagon until he a said that he was thinking of running for Franken's seat as a Republican. I felt violated, played for a chump that he just used MSNBC & the Trump Disgrace to build an id as an ethical bulldog for broadening his appeal.

Further Painter even had spoken out in favor of Franken & denounced how he was railroaded. So he's pounced on a position that will attract many, many still angry Minn Democratic voters, one that the Dem candidate can't espouse, and just might create the "swing vote" number that will take him to the Senate from Minn. in 2018.

Sorry. This kind of stuff is what disturbs me rather than makes me optimistic about these fairweather lifelong Repug allies.
