    Nah- Trump wasn't his first pick as the nominee but he totally voted for him.

      Anti-Trumper, not Never-Trumper.
      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        Hold up. Are you being serious?

          What is your timeline here? Do you consider people to be anti-Trump when they immediately start kissing his ass the second he wins the election? I don't.

            No percentage in railing against the sitting President who is from your same party.

              They have to be anti-Trump first. Then they have to embrace MAGA. Like when Lindsey Graham called Trump a jackass, race-baiting xenophobic bigot, and a nutjob and voted for Evan McMullen I think he was sufficiently anti-Trump. Then he embraced MAGA. I think that's the kind of person Moliere was referring to.

                Ok I get that. Maybe I don't even remember what it was like before the election... I consider myself anti-Trump, so maybe I can't conceive of a scenario where somebody like me could ever 'embrace MAGA.' Especially when I wouldn't even consider somebody like Mitt Romney to be particularly anti-Trump, even though he would never 'embrace MAGA.'

                Honestly, I kind of feel sorry for someone like Lindsay Graham. I can't imagine what that must feel like to have no actual core.

                  There is a middle ground, you know. Lindsay Graham has been almost melodramatic and performative in his ass kissing, whereas the majority of the other GOP legislators have been happy to just tow the line and say an embarrassingly fake endorsement of something Trump did every now and again.

                    Sure. But I guess that's just not who Lindsay Graham is.

                        No. Mitt's not really anti. I'm sure his personal feeling is that Trump's a big phony asshole, but that's just the truth. Mitt's seemed to have been fairly objective and supportive of Trump when he's merited it.

                          Just because he voted to remove Trump from office doesn't necessarily make him anti-Trump.

                                commando, I love you dude, but its comments like Mitt is not anti-Trump that really erode your ability to make persuasive arguments against Trump.
