Responsibility carries no moral freight. It’s a logical construct.

Trump has a ton of opponents. His moderate sensible opponents are not enabling him. The stupid opponents who’d cheer along with Maddow and that sort of tripe, who call for his jailing, who’ll violate Godwin’s Law, are like the lunatic fringe in the early 70s who got Nixon re-elected.

The middle is exhausted with Trump. But it is more exhausted with the Hunt for Trump. I live in an alleged battleground state. I’m exhausted with him and his enemies so much I don’t even read about him. I like Taibbi and Greenwald because they poke holes in the people who support him and are after him.

Unfortunately, there are few to talk with on those points. Instead I hear about morals and norms. Had an interesting discussion with anyone on those things lately?

Less called it. Expect a China “deal” timed to create a boom next year. Four more years.

I’ll be in the broadcast booth. Free beer.
Everything you say here is mostly stupid, but what is particularly stupid is the idea that people who are really opposed to Trump are somehow strengthening him. You play at repeating variations of this without ever explaining how it might be true. Neither you nor anyone else ever suggest that right-wing whackos somehow strengthened Obama (for example) in the opposite way.
