With All the Winning, Why So Angry?

First things first: I grew up as, and remained, a proud moderate Republican up until 2016.

I proudly wore the badge of “RINO” as I thought it a silly insult by a bunch of folks who didn’t win many elections.

The candidates they did elect tended to wear tinfoil hats on the floor of the US House.

The word “conservative” in American politics doesn’t mean what it once did.

The term “Republican” doesn’t either, for that matter.

Reed Galen is an independent political consultant and founder of The Lincoln Project. He previously worked for President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Someone who worked for those three is going to lecture us on what "conservative" and "Republican" mean?

Schwarzenegger was a political girly many who let Democrat walk over him as governor. He didn't stand up for ANYTHING conservative. Good riddance.

McCain threw most conservative principles out when he ran for President against Bush, which wrecked his next attempt to run.

And more Bush domestic polices were liberal than conservative.

Trump is the most conservative and far and away the best president since the great Ronald Reagan.

And if they aren't angry at the biggest abuse of power in US history still ongoing, they've been asleep or part of the problem.
