Looking For Integrity Among Conservative Republicans
EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT of republicans think Trump has done a good job. This proves that either republicans are heavily biased and unwilling to offer an honest opinion, or that they are deranged. The American people as a whole give Trump about a forty percent approval rating, proving either that most Americans are not republicans, or that the American people are discerning, are good at smelling rats and Russians, or think that twitter is not an appropriate vehicle for presidential statements, even if such statements are limited to one hundred forty typing strokes. Can you imagine republican reaction if Hillary Clinton had been elected, and had done exactly what Trump has done? The lies, the juvenile tweets, the widely unpopular health care bill? Can you imagine Chelsea Clinton receiving an offer from Russian operatives to provided damaging information about Trump during the presidential campaign, responding to the offer by saying that she "loved" the idea, and then hosting a meeting during which she later lied about not only who attended, but what was discussed? Among republicans, Trump's highly objectionable if not treasonous behavior is widely considered to be a liberal hoax, a set up by the Obama administration, or an invention of the mainstream liberal media. They claim to believe this. They also claim that it is much ado about nothing, that a meeting is only a meeting, and nothing else. Conservative talk radio points out that Barack Obama, while president, hosted members of the Islamic Brotherhood at the White House, as if there is something wrong with doing that. wrong religion? Aside from the fact that Obama did nothing wrong, and one does not justify bad behavior by pointing to someone else's bad behavior, there is no evidence that Obama engaged in criminal conspiracy while hosting the group. the FBI states without hesitation or qualification that the Russians indeed interfered with the election, in order to help Trump get elected. Donald Trump Junior is discovered to have met with Russians who offer to help Trump senior by providing harmful information about Hillary Clinton. And the mainstream conservative republican community insists that the whole affair is nothing but a dirty trick, and invention of the liberal community, an attempt by democrats to get rid of Trump, using unfair tactics. Among conservative republicans, is there no shame, is there no integrity
