“But had we a Pres. Rubio or Cruz, rather than a Pres. Trump, the Left would still be fomenting ‘resistance’. Only the details would differ. “ – GB

Pretty darn huge difference that would/could be, though.

Plus, the left’s intensity would likely have been far lower.

Likely would have been a much higher margin of win for the POTUS (given trump’s high negatives), providing a clear mandate.

This all might have been enough to allow the GOP to pursue a bolder conservative agenda.

At the very least, there would be FAR less uncertainty of the POTUS’ support for conservative proposals making their way through Congress, and the messaging would have been MUCH more coordinated, consistent, and on point – better able to withstand the “fomenting ‘resistance'”.

Yes, were Trump more politically adept and circumspect it would hinder the Left’s characterization of him. But had we a Pres. Rubio or Cruz, rather than a Pres. Trump, the Left would still be fomenting ‘resistance’. Only the details would differ. Congressional democrats, leftist activists and the MSM will demonize any President not of the Left.

Proof is in the way they demonized Mitt Romney over “binders of women” !!! among other items.

I hope Glenn Reynolds links to this on his “Instapundit” blog. I always enjoy it when the Dumb Trumpkin snowflakes who post there regularly swarm in whenever Reynolds links to an NR article: “Oh, no! A link to a Cuck publication! NR doesn’t like Trump, so I’ll melt if I even click on the link!”

McCarthy does a great job of lining up and articulating a legal opinion – providing some great arguments vs the left view of the world.

That is fine as far as that goes.

The legal argument doesn’t necessarily change the politics of it.

While he does mention trump’s roll in this, he seems to downplay this as a major factor in how this gets more legs than it should ever have been close to getting for the left.

Now that we are “here”, the wild card is still on trump how this will eventually end up.

Will trump learn?

Reason, fact and logic. Constitutional Law. Federal regulations. The Truth of the matter. None of that matters.

What matters is winning by whatever means are necessary.

Including, if they cannot win, destroying the country.

Better that, than America be king of the hill.
