				Zimmy, Spence, I have news for you.  There are hundreds and hundreds of Republicans running for US Congress in the midterms.  I wish I could say with a straight face, that all of them are good people.  They won't be.  However, that only says so much about "the Republican party", which is more than Trump, more than the few hundred who run for Congress.  There are tens of millions of registered Republicans.  Voting for a candidate, is not an endorsement of everything that candidate says or does.

 He was endorsed by the POTUS who's the de facto leader of the Republican party. Just shows that Trump would rather have extreme Trumpist candidates rather than actually win races.

				Bill Clinton recently said rules on 'what you can do to somebody against their will' have changed.  Zimmy and Spence, are you responsible for that disgusting statement?  Does that statement say anything about you at all?

 It was a clumsy statement but put in context he clearly wasn't saying there ever was a time it was ok.

 If only Hitler had you as his PR spin guy in 1935.  Whenever a democrat says something sinister, you dismiss it as clumsy, or taken out of context.  Always.  They're never just bad people like Trump is, not ever.

 Jim, here's a little process to help you out.
 
1) Read something 
2) Table emotional response for the moment 
3) Look up context for what you read  
4) Verify sources 
5) Think critically 
6) Form opinion
 
Please.

 Trump is the leader of the party, I agree. But he isn't the party, nor is Corey Stewart.  "The party" is the people who believe life is sacred, that liberty is sacred, that we have a responsibility to help the less fortunate, and that government should be no larger than necessary to do the small number of things we need government to do.  All of the tens of millions of people who believe these things, they are the GOP.
