    An attempt so cunning, that nobody can say it actually happened! TDS is truly a terrible disease...

    That Russia is trying to do what they can to destabilize western democracies is well know, including the US. The fact the made efforts to influence people to vote for Trump in 2016 is also well known.
    The fact you think concern over those issues is funny is truly sad.

      But Trump isn't Tea Party either. They supported principles like fiscal conservatism, a reduction of national debt etc.

      Trump's approach has been just as nihilistic toward Tea Party values as it has been to Reagan style conservatism.

          Seriously? And what about all the Democrat candidates holding election rallies?

          This is just silly. Try hanging onto your sanity instead of descending into JimL and Starlight levels of irrationality.

            Does Dobson mean they didn't tell us which Republicans ought to run for the Presidency in 2020 if Trump isn't there as an incumbent? Surely it's not a CT editorial board's business to endorse any specific candidate this far out? Or is Dobson implying that the Republicans literally have nobody at all who can do it, and that there are no possible worthy Republican candidates? That last seems a pretty harsh claim against the Republican party (and against Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Mitt Romney etc who all seem like seriously possible options).

            Or was this just part of his later pathetic insinuation that the CT editorial board are eViL SoCiAliSt DeMoCraTs?
            Oh, man, it's like passing a kidney stone, but I have to agree with Starlight about the ignorance of Dobson's remarks.

            • Starlight takes something out of context and sperges about it, surprise.

              It's rhetoric, and obviously part of the extended mocking that ends with "I hope the editors will now tell us who they support for president among the Democrat field. That should tell us the rest of the story."

                    Trump rallies are just bizarre. A president that needs weekly shots of adulation is just plain weird. And it was, in fact, a thing that Mussolini and Hitler both share in common with Mr Trump.

                    OTOH it's just kinda fun to point out what Trump has in common with his peers and watch you guys literally lose your minds.

                      No need to project. Stop watching videos of Trump rallies, you're so obviously triggered and we can all see it.

                        you are so ... unable to comprehend even the simplest things.

                        Like I said, it's just fun at this point to watch you all lose your minds. It's unfortunate too, but since so many of you have made the choice to never again allow constructive conversation between thee and me, I'll just go with it for now.

                            I love the Trump rallies. The baying Trump disciples make me feel so superior to the white supremacists - I mean, have you seen them?

                              God humbles the proud, which is why you all end up afflicted with TDS and raging about Trump online. Many such cases!
