Mercy and Forbearance

Wait, what? He told a pack of bullies to take a hike when they pushed? Oh, poor GOP... they were always so nice to the opposing side when they were in power. It must have crushed them to be told off when they pushed and tried to bully.

A lot of the right vs left thing is just a smokescreen to divert people from the fact that large corporations are picking their pockets and the rich are not paying their fair share of the govt expenditures.
The Republicans are worse but that does not make the Democrats good.

This country must find middle ground or we may be doomed. What the heck is so hard about compromise?

There’s gotta be a reason why Republican stalwarts are abdicating the party.

Bill Kristol, founder of the influential conservative magazine, The Weekly Standard, is today a leading voice of Republican opposition. Political commentator and author, George Will, once a staunch, articulate defender of the conservative movement, is urging Republicans to vote against the GOP in November.

Well-known conservative commentators, David Brooks and Max Boot, along with former conservative talk show host Charlie Sykes, all advocate against the party. Says Brooks: “Today you can be a conservative or a Republican, but you can’t be both.” Boot, author of The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right, now refers to his former party as the “white-nationalist party.” Sykes recently published How the Right Lost Its Mind.

Former national GOP operatives are also strident critics. Nicolle Wallace, who worked for George W. Bush and John McCain, says the party’s “volume business of misogyny is making moderate Republican women near extinct.”

Steve Schmidt, once named GOP Campaign Manager of the Year, renounced his party membership, saying the GOP is “filled with feckless cowards who disgrace and dishonor the legacies of the party’s greatest leaders.”
