Sometimes others say it best

This is an extract from an article in today's NYT, primarily about Michael Savage, Conservative radio host:

Quote:

Mr. Savage, a former member at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, embodies the contradictions of much of the president’s base. He insists “I’m no Benedict Arnold,” and will still vote for Mr. Trump in 2020 despite his misgivings because there is no Democratic candidate he could imagine supporting.

But he has no plans to pull his punches when it comes to the president. Mr. Savage believes his words have already cost him access to Mr. Trump, whom he has not spoken to since the White House Hanukkah party in December.

“They keep pushing me away because they don’t like what in their mind is not 100 percent sycophantic behavior,” he said.

His bridges to the Trump White House are not as scorched as those of Ann Coulter, who has accused the president of lying about his pursuit of funding for the border wall and attacked him as “a shallow, narcissistic con man.” But Ms. Coulter said she believed there were far more people like her and Mr. Savage who are dismayed. They are just less willing to speak up.

“A lot of wingers are desperately hanging on to Trump as flotsam in a tsunami,” Ms. Coulter said in an interview. “So loads of Trumpsters are beside themselves — but almost none of them will say so publicly. I think the issue is: How many voters, who voted for Obama, or didn’t vote, and then came out to vote for Trump, are done with him?”

Emphasis is mine---I find myself in agreement with he/she more and more---who knew:AHHH:

You did not vote for him to begin with, nor will you ever, so you do not count in this discussion. You only hope others will join you in your hatred.

Really?

Does that mean that the First Amendment is not valid here?

I will do what I can to salvage this country. To tell me I don't count is to tell me my service doesn't count, my taxes don't count et al.

Is your blind support of this demagogue so narrow that you can make a statement like this with a clear conscious?

I might remind you that you are reacting to the words of a couple of the public rabid right crowd---are you that offended by a crack in the "family"

Think you are wrong Joe.

Ok, I’ll take your “insights” as they are intended, as a weak call for Trump voters to join your TDS crowd. Good luck. I’m not up on Dr. Savage, but he is probably with Coulter on turning on Trump to the extent quoted here in the NYTs (a horrible source for anything conservative) because he is too moderate.

I'd suggest more objective.


There is one other thing---I have spoken to this claim of hatred in the past---trump isn't worth the energy it would take to hate him, rather my real incentive is my love for this country.
