If Obama - or any other president- had this many close associates pleading guilty to serious crimes how would you have reacted?

Our positions have been consistent – yours, and those of the departed cowards- have only been consistently insane…

Look at you- you tried defending your man several times- like parroting the denials that he paid off a porn star… how did that work for you? When it became clear he lied to you about it, you just shrug your shoulders and say ‘well, its not a big deal’…

If Obama – or any other president- had this many close associates pleading guilty to serious crimes how would you have reacted? But here you are… in the past 2 years you have had to dramatically change your moral and ethical standards to accept this….

Is that rational, or is it madness, Rob?

You sold your country out

You keep doubling down on this, and you keep getting dragged down deeper- and you say WE have slipped a cog? We knew what Trump would lead to from the start- we have been consistent in our positions, and sadly, we were 100% right. YOU on the other hand, have been forced to lower the bar again and again in order to stand by your corrupt man... redefining deviancy downwards... the only insanity here is yours.

I am truly flattered, Rob, that you think so... but alas, I know it isn't true... You and I both know its because they were just smart enough to know that there was no way they could defend the actions of the man they voted for without looking like fools... since the lie that Trump is telling at one moment will shift to a new lie in a matter of hours... Sadly, you were not smart enough to realize this obvious fact... remember when you were foolish enough to proclaim the porn star affair, and payoff were 'another pantload'? They are cowards, and hypocrites, and they know that they had finally revealed themselves. They NEVER had any real principles- as we said all along... they ran away because they no longer could claim to be Patriots, they couldn't claim to care about law and order anymore, nor could they claim to be concerned about conservative fiscal policy... Trump is none of those things... So they went into hiding because they are cowards, and left you holding the bag... It will get far worse for all of you... What do YOU think should be done with traitors like you? You're getting off easy, for now... but it will not last. The shit is rapidly hurtling towards the fan, but it hasn't made contact just yet... it's far too late for you to seek cover now, Rob, you passed the point of no return long ago... all you can do is sit in front of the fan and wait for the shitstorm... the shitstorm we warned you about countless times... So pull up a chair, Rob... enjoy the show- you paid a hefty price for the admission. Little Ol’ me drove away all those conservatives?
