Debra J. Saunders said it all on KSFO last week... "We Republicans hold our candidates to a higher standard." The minute ANYTHING the least bit unexpected happens that can be connected either directly, or indirectly to put the slightest question in anybody's mind about one of our candidates... You can hear a collective Repellican Party "Oh Sh*t!"
It's the exact opposite of what happens with Demonicrats. Remember how they gathered around the epitome of "Depravitas" after he was impeached and faced trial in the Senate?
All you third party Liberaltarians, etc., there's your ultimate proof of the night & day difference between the two dominant political parties!!! Republicans just die in the face of even phony adversity. Democrats never say die!!!
Republicans would rather switch than fight like Tom Sullivan on KFBK Friday. Democrats close ranks and fight attacks on their candidates, like Demonicrats!!! Republicans kill the greater good in search of perfection.
Ever since Nixon and his "Checkers Speech" and his subsequent resignation in disgrace, Republican get filled with dread (even worse than fear) over the slightest possible situation that would cause them to have to close ranks and properly defend any candidate that failed to disclose ANY unimaginable possible outcome of anything even faintly related to their candidate.
The closest I've ever seen the Repellicans ever come to holding up for their candidate was in fighting off the attempted theft of the 2000 election and that was a fine thing to finally see, indeed!!! I loved finally seeing them circling the Crapitol in the biggest demonstration seen since the Anti-War protestors during Vietnam!!!
Normally, however, they imagine themselves "too nice" to take the white gloves off and hit back against the smell of a deliberate "set-up" like this phony-baloney verdict that is sure to be over-turned on appeal.
Missed his show, was he 'switching' or 'fighting'? Not clear.
