If Trump is removed from office

or resigns, who will the GOP run in 2020?

I’m thinking Nikki Haley.

Bill Maher Shreds Progressives Over P.C. Culture

Bill Maher Shreds Progressives Over P.C. Culture: The ‘Fox News Bubble’ is Just As ‘Bad on the Left’
By Charlie NashSep 30th, 2019, 3:17 pm

Comedian and talk show host Bill Maher attacked progressive “social justice warriors” and “P.C. police” in an interview with the New York Times, this week, during which he claimed the “Fox News bubble” has gotten as bad on the left.
...
Maher also explained that “the Twitter-mob mentality has an effect on the rest of the world.”

“Everyone fears the wrath of the Twitter mob and the social justice warriors and the P.C. police. Religions always talk about the one true religion. Now on the left we have the one true opinion. If you go against that, you do so at your peril. That’s why the air on the left is becoming stale,” the comedian declared. “I railed for years against the Fox News bubble, and that is as strong as ever, but I didn’t think it would get this bad on the left.”

Standing up for the truth

is a test of character. Ignoring lies for political gain shows a lack of character. This applies to everyone, Republicans and Democrats alike, elected officials, candidates and ordinary people. The willingness in recent years to ignore lies even when they are against political opponents is what got us Trump. We have to be better than that. I'm sorry if this is an unpopular opinion in this forum but that is how I feel. If stating this simple principle gets me banned, then so be it.
