The tribe forgives all, except betrayal, and even that can be finessed. If liberals were similar, McGovern wouldn't have lost in a landslide (he would have probably still lost) and the same goes for Mondale and Dukakis. When it comes to protecting members of the tribe because they are members of the tribe, liberals, by and large, just won't do it. When a conservative embarrasses himself, the tribe circles the wagons, no matter what the offense. When a liberal embarrasses her/himself, the tribe worries about being tainted and shuns the embarrassed member.<br /><br />I have to admit, though, that the quick rehabilitation of Mitt has been rather shocking to me. He was such an embarrassment and disappointment that I thought the Republicans would just flush him down the memory hole. When I saw the poll with him leading in New Hampshire among Republicans, I just couldn't believe it, even taking into account New Hampshire was always his strongest state, with the exception, perhaps, of Utah. At this point, even if he had gone out on stage at the Republican National Convention, pulled down his pants, and left a great big (literal) turd on the podium, Republicans would still act like there's was no shame in supporting such an arrogant moron for President. I guess his disaster of a campaign was a bonding experience with him and the right-wing.<br /><br />Regarding Christie, there's no doubt in my mind that many smoking guns exist, but I don't know if we'll ever see them. Christie has enough support in the NJ legislature and the cesspool that is the NJ Democratic Party that he could ride this out. However, he and his team seem like such clowns, and their antics have almost certainly broken several laws, that I'm leaning towards him going down, quite possibly in handcuffs.<br /><br />Either way, there's no way he's getting "rehabilitated" fast enough for 2016. That ship has already sailed. But 2020? Have any previous Presidents been been a convicted felon when he ran for office?sdhayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354409528975596405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-84612392656619058862014-02-04T09:40:32.856-05:002014-02-04T09:40:32.856-05:00Who would know about Grimm if the left had a Faux....Who would know about Grimm if the left had a Faux. Only people who would watch it. I live in an area of California that is ruby red and it amazes me how many people don't follow what is going on no matter how loud Faux screams. Now I know people who have Faux on all day but they are the exception. Most people don't even know who represents them on the town counsel or the county board of supervisors.

And it doesn't help when even Dems pile on, and recommend one of their own resign. Repubs don't do that.<br />As for Liz Cheney, it seems her "powerful political circle" resides in the Beltway; it certainly wasn't spotted in Wyoming. Her big mistake was shooting too high her first time out. She should have picked a House race in Virginia(not Wyoming), and tried to work her way up to Senator. Her sense of entitlement was such that she was too impatient for that. Cue the crocodile tears.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812221895719217031noreply@blogger.com
