    I remember back during the Bush jr era when the equivalent was a chorus of annoying lib commentators who would say: "I don't agree with Bush, but I want him to succeed." Early iteration of the "they go low, we go high" line.

      Some libs will never be able to let go of the "There's gotta be some good republicans left" mindset. Here's a tweet from a few days ago by a lib with 1m followers on Twitter, Molly Jong-fast...

      Democrats just need five sane republicans for a discharge petition

      Tweet

      I don't know what a discharge petition petition is and it amused me that she didn't even bother to explain. But I don't need to know what is is because it's DOA. It's inside baseball shit that needs GOP help to work. I saw Jong-fast on MSNBC and I could be all wrong but I don't think her "good republicans" shtick is a lie. She actually believes it. She's 100% unwilling to accept that the (extreme) maga wing of the GOP is the republican party.
