lol yeah Trump isn't the GOPs fault. Nothing the GOP does is ever their fault. It's amazing, really.
I mentioned this on another thread some weeks ago, to BKF's ire, but I continue to find it amusing that the GOP, the party that so loudly proclaims the virtue of personal responsibility, refuses to take any credit or responsibility for Trump. Somehow, Trump's election is all the fault of liberals, even though it was liberals who opposed Trump from the beginning, repeatedly warned throughout 2016 that Trump was utterly unqualified to be president, and voted against him. On the other hand, the GOP nominated Trump, some 90% of Republicans voted for him last year - and yet they have no responsibility for his election. People who voted for Trump just had no choice in the matter, or so they say. Apparently, hatred of the Clintons and the possibility of a culturally liberal female president (after a culturally liberal black one), absolves them of any responsibility for their vote. The notion that you are responsible for your choices doesn't - if you're the GOP base - apply to the 2016 election. Go figure.
