I cited Mitt Romney as a counter example showing a Republican who is not supportive of everything Trump has done. Your response is to change the definition of "Republican" to exclude the counter example. This is a textbook instance of the "
No True Scotsman" fallacy. Students of debate, take note. Also Mitt Romney is far from the only counter example. There is a much-needed split in the leadership of the Republican Party. You can pretend they are all united, but they are not. We have seen many of Trump's former supporters jump ship in these final days. Mike Pence was loyal to Mr. Trump throughout everything, always giving Trump credit. But when Trump failed to contact Pence during the hours while the capitol was under attack and Senators were sheltering in place, but instead Trump filled the time with angry tweets against his Vice President, Pence was furious. You will notice Pence did not attend Trump's going away send-off at Andrews Airforce Base, but instead chose to attend Biden's inauguration. You can't look at all that and still say the Republican leadership is united. As for the die-hard voters, you vastly over-estimate their numbers. They couldn't even get the fellow elected with help of the sympathetic moderates and independents. Now that Trump has shown his true colors, the number of voters that feel as you do are not enough to sway the leadership.
I didn't know much about Pence before, but he has gone up considerably in my estimation, and I think he may very well form the core of the Republican Party going forward.
Let's see. Allowing him a cushy helicopter ride to Andrews Airforce Base with all the honors, and a cushy Air Force One ride to Mar-A-Lago, all provided by the government - if that is kicking him in the pants, I wish someone would kick me in the pants like that!
I would be if it actually happened.
No, I mean the ones like Susan Collins, John Kasich, and now it looks like even the Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence, are looking more like moderates. We will have to wait and see how the Senate trial goes to see where they really stand.
I have supported Trump's operation Warp Speed and his advocacy for covid relief payments. But I can't think of a single other liberal policy that he accomplished. I can think of many anti-liberal policies of his, though.
That's something that can only be known in hindsight. Check back in four years.
Hillary Clinton conceded the election the day after election day. She did not resist Trump taking power.
