I'm capable of doing my own ratings. I provided a paragraph listing what is just the tip of the iceberg of policies that ought to disqualify the Bushes, Romney, or McCain from your consideration if you were half as ideologically principled and pure a conservative as you pretend to be when you're criticizing Trump.

Since you evidently have no issue with the liberal policies and statements from these people, your opposition to Trump is more about personalities and loyalty to the party establishment than it is about policy and ideology. My guess is that like the RNC higher-ups, you resent the fact that voters got to pick the nominee this time, instead of party hacks putting the crown on another Bush's head as they were planning to do.

Interesting. I wonder if you are correct, and ‘elhombrelibre’ is actually a GOP-e/RINO party apparatchik.

libre is what I call a "Loservative", people like Bret Stephens and his ilk, who are willing to allow the Left to complete the packing of the Supreme Court and the Federal courts with ideological hard-left Lefties - just as long as they get to cling to their "principles" like a child's binky.

They would also get to wail and gnash their teeth in meaningless articles like the ones George "Losey McLoserson" Will writes.

Every day when I wake up, I get to think joyously about how Bill Kristol, Bret Stephens, George Will, Joe Scarborough & elhombrelibre are angrily pinching off an 0bama in their bathrooms, before they angrily stomp to their breakfast tables and angrily look at the headlines about what President Trump is accomplishing today, while they angrily drink their coffee and think angrily about how Trump is violating their sacred "principles".
