Are RINOS just dumb, blind, or what?

If you are a Republican, as Christine Todd Whitman claims to be, how can you ignore the overwhelming evidence of corruption within the Democrat party apparatus?

How can you ignore Hillary Clinton's willful violations of the law?  How can there be any doubt that not only did she break the law, but also that the Democrat party apparatchiks made sure she would never have to answer for it?

Why would you support the removal of the president on fraudulent grounds?

Why would you ignore the benefits of improved relations with Russia, and why would it be against the interests of the United States to talk to the Russian leader?  It has been a long term practice of talking to Russian leaders even during the height of the Cold War.  Such talks may have prevented Armageddon during those times, and surely cannot hurt today.

Why take the part of Democrats, who show a complete lack of candor in virtually all matters?  Do you really believe what Democrats have to say about much of anything?  Have you any independent judgment at all?

This doesn't even cover distinct policy issues.  That could be the basis of yet another essay.  With all that said, why would any Republican listen to Christine Todd Whitman?

So, I read Whitman's op-ed in the LA Times, and I am not at all impressed.  She cannot be following the events all that closely, and say what she says with a straight face.  What that says about her, you can figure out for yourself.

A little more...

Losing candidate Mark Sanford, a never Trumper himself, accuses Trump supporters of being part of a cult of Personality.  This is a typical dishonest remark that often can be attributed to the lefty Democrats, but unfortunately has sprung up against Trump.

Trump is anything but Cult of Personality, as a Cult of Personality would require strict media control, which is not the case here.  Indeed, the cult is on the left wing, who do not brook any dissent.  It is not that the GOP supporters of Trump blindly follow him, it is because it is vitally necessary for his continued political survival.

When significant numbers of his own party will not support him, even to the level which is customary in former times, one cannot credibly claim that a cult of personality exists.

What should unite the GOP more than anything else is the quite obvious corruption that exists in Washington DC.  If there was anyplace in the USA that could create the conditions for a cult of personality, it is Washington DC.  Washington DC votes Democrat over 90 percent of the time.  That is the kind of political atmosphere that Sanford should be criticizing.

The right to dissent is a long held American custom.  Trump is no threat to that, but the Democrats, with their political correctness, are a definite threat.
