Well, a lot of FReepers endorsed Roberts way back when, too and I’m sure they changed their mind, as well. You were around back then, you probably remember.

At my age, I can remember 13 years ago easier than 13 minutes ago.

That is a fair point and I do need to be more forgiving. One of the reasons I thought Roberts was okay was he got Levin's support. If Mark likes him, he must be good as Mark is a constitutional scholar. I gave the talkers much more credence back then. 2015, 2016 changed many of the ways I think about things starting with the omnibus bill.

On a commute home during the primary, I distinctly remember Mark ranting about many of us who were a bit peeved at him for blasting Trump when his guy Cruz was making an ass of himself and trailing in the polls - he didn't come out and say FreeRepublic but made mention of donation driven web sites and how we were some sort of losers not able to compete in the free market and hid behind usernames. I listened as Mark used his gifts and intellect to make some pretty crappy strawman arguments - called us Agrarian populists (whatever that is)

Once you become skeptical of something or someone subsequent actions are viewed in an entirely different light - I've come to appreciate much more the back and forth that goes on here at Free Republic in forming my opinions.

All that being said - I was excited about Jeff Sessions being AG - double doh!
