So we have Christian Huckabee defending ‘Christian’ Trump.
Is that it?
Huckabee: “And when a person loses, he should accept the will of the voters and then offer support to the victor.”
“As I and the GOP have offered our support to President Obama.”
If Gary Johnson and Bill Weld have an ounce of sense, they’re on the phone with Cruz now, trying to line up a joint event where GOP voters can lend them their vote just this once, until the GOP purges itself of fascism. Ideally by tomorrow as a prebuttal to Drumpf Uber Alles tomorrow just to throw him off.
Not that Cruz is any better of course - he’s mostly just bitter he’s not the Fuhrer. But the enemy of your enemy is your friend, Ted Cruz is even more hated than usual right now, and politics makes strange bedfellows.
That would conclude the big “fuck you” Cruz just pulled off. He’s still a weasel, but you strangely have to respect the power play he just made. It’s certainly less pathetic than Christie’s total capitulation to the alpha male in the room, and less irrelevant than Rubio’s beaming in to say something I’ve already forgot. Cruz upstaged the master of dominance politics for a news cycle - if he goes for the kill, he gives himself a reason to be relevant in 2020.
This, strangely, is a good thing, if only because the alternative is insanely worse.
Cruz may have “left small,” but Huckabee left a slime trail.
A hypocritical appeal to norms of behavior from a party that has abandoned the norms of decency, truth, and the forward flow of time.
Where do I send flowers in memory of the dearly departed GOP? On second thought, maybe I’ll just send my thoughts and prayers.
So where is the outrage for kaisch refusal to endorse trump?
If you find out, let me know. I want to send them an anvil.
I love how the GOP has turned out now that they’ve let the Tea Party run them. Everything is either a 1 or a 0 with them, there’s no in between, you’re either with us or you’re against us. Way to expand that tent, baggers.
