It's just when I read some of your characterizations of Trump,
I really wonder if it's conceivable to you that he may be reelected? You seem to be the poster child for TDS.
Hi Darian:
Often I think James goes pretty far over the top when discussing Trump, I think I've mentioned that before. More often though, James' posts make me uncomfortable precisely because James so clearly articulates the President's many real and documented shortcomings. Those sort of posts make for tough reading because I try and want to support the office of the President whether I admire the occupant of that office or not. You've been around Astromart long enough to know that respect for the office is how I treated Obama and Bush too.
In my view, much of the negative stuff posted by a natural moderate (James) or a natural conservative (Russ) who might despise Trump is much more useful and thought provoking than the stuff posted by any reflexive and unwavering Trump apologist. I don't see James' postings as TDS. I see his input as a legitimate, often accurate, and certainly thought provoking assessment of Trump, his governance style and his character.
Don't you sometimes feel slimy too, when you try to support Trump and his administration, and Trump rewards you by making it damn near impossible to respect him?
Jim
