Still, there are some conservatives who are not knuckling under to the New Normal of Trumpism Triumphant. One of my favorite resisters is the beloved conservative humorist P. J. ORourke, who says wait for it hes voting for Hillary. And his explanation is interesting:
I am endorsing Hillary. The second worst thing that could happen to this country. But shes way behind in second place, you know? Shes wrong about absolutely everything but shes wrong within normal parameters! . . . I mean, this man just cant be president of the US. I mean, they got this button, its in a briefcase, hes gonna find it.
Now, remember: P. J. ORourke is so right-wing that he once made fun of FDR as being on the wheelchair ramp to the Gates of Hell. That right-wing enough for ya? This is no RINO GOPe cuck squish were talking about here.

Sanders: "Of course she (Hillary) doesn't bear responsibility for Iraqi war deaths
You can see him say it starting at 2:27

I hated the idea of "No Snitching" and I still do. I think its a terrible idea. But I submit myself to the judgment of this group.
Do you think I am racist for having that opinion?
I hold myself up to the judgment of this group regarding this accusation

The Pinocchio Test
Sanders is putting words in Clintons mouth. She never said quote unquote that he was not qualified to be president. In fact, she diplomatically went out of her way to avoid saying that, without at the same time saying he was qualified. The Washington Post article appropriately noted that she raised questions about his qualifications, but certainly never said or suggested she said Sanders was unqualified.
Sanders would have been on safer ground if he had said Clinton is raising questions about his qualifications and now he would like to raise questions about her qualifications. But he cant slam her for words she did not say.
Three more Pinocchios for #Bernocchio Hillary didnt call him unqualified

I just realized that March 5 was the 1st anniversary of Rowdyboy's passing.
I just wanted to post that I still can't believe he is gone and he was one of my favorite DUers.

A note about participation in this group. PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Tx4Obama hasn't been posting on DU for a while so this group hasn't been managed. As a result there have been several OPs continuing the primary discussions here that better belong in GD-P.
This group is for supporting the Democratic Party, the DNC, state and local Democratic Parties and organizations and all Democrats. If your post is negative about the Democratic Party, a Democrat or supports one over another, it doesn't belong in this group.
Thanks.
