I've watched a few of these now, and I am struck with genuine sympathy for many of these often life long republicans grappling with the need to get rid of Trump for the sake of the nation.

Its horrible when your party lurches off in a different direction. I really bad for your average, generational republican.

I remember as a kid watching stuff about American politics and elections, and while the two sides were very different, they both seemed to meet each other on a lot of shared assumptions and values - it was perfectly possible for democrat and republican to get along with each and work together.

Where are the statesmen and stateswomen now? Where are the reasoned and rational ?

The Ds and Rs get along fine if their owners let them off leash. But the owners saw they were playing too nice so they had to be kept on a short leash and snarling.
Divide and conquer, baby.

That man has a broken heart. I feel bad for him and our country.
