I doubt that I will ever be able to comprehend fully how bankrupt US politics has become. 6 of 8 Republican Party presidential candidates indicated that they would support ex-President Trump even if he were convicted of the crime of subverting the Constitution.

It’s hard to articulate how profoundly mindless and evil this position is. For most people, being convicted of a crime is evidence of a character flaw or a moment of irrationality or an arrogant sense of entitlement. If Trump is convicted of the crimes for which he is accused, those crimes transcend Trump’s degraded character. Those crimes point to an effort to destroy the very institutions and values to which these candidates purportedly aspire.

That makes no sense at all.

  1. Thank you Vinnie. I watched the debate. I feel exactly the same way. Buffoons, 6 of them, that raised their hands.
