            As the last few weeks have made abundantly clear, Trump's "corruption" doesn't hold a candle to that of the real pros like Schiff, Pelosi and Nadler.

                  Trump just passed (with the blessings of the Dems who granted him even more than he asked for) the biggest military budget on record, as well as extending the Patriot Act. So, by evil empire, I assume you're referring to the military industrial and intelligence complex.

                    I don't understand this statement. The person who takes the President's place if the President is impeached, is the Vice Present. The CT editorial didn't need to tell us who should take his place, because nobody gets a choice in the matter.

                    Does Dobson mean they didn't tell us which Republicans ought to run for the Presidency in 2020 if Trump isn't there as an incumbent? Surely it's not a CT editorial board's business to endorse any specific candidate this far out? Or is Dobson implying that the Republicans literally have nobody at all who can do it, and that there are no possible worthy Republican candidates? That last seems a pretty harsh claim against the Republican party (and against Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Mitt Romney etc who all seem like seriously possible options).

                    Or was this just part of his later pathetic insinuation that the CT editorial board are eViL SoCiAliSt DeMoCraTs?

                      It's an interesting question of what is the new conservatism.

                      The old conservatism seems dead:
                      • Balanced budgets / fiscal responsibility
                      • Morality in leadership
                      • Opposition to dictators / promotion of democracy
                      • No new government spending
                      • Thoughtfulness/formality in speech and action by leaders

                      All of that seems to have been destroyed by Trump, and surprisingly the people previously advocating for it don't seem at all worried.

                      What is the new conservatism?
                      • The idea of the Wall. Even if it isn't actually being built. Even if Mexico isn't paying for it.
                      • Triggering libs. Even if nothing is gained by it. Liberals being upset is in and of itself a good thing.
                      • Support for the Dear Leader. And a desire for his descendants and relatives to take leadership after he's gone.
                      • Active disbelief in the idea of global warming. And opposition to the very idea of doing anything whatsoever to mitigate it, no matter how easy.

                          At least you're finally admitting that you know Trump is corrupt. Baby steps!

                              Was talking about the attempt to get Ukraine to find dirt on Biden.

                              That Russia is trying to do what they can to destabilize western democracies is well know, including the US. The fact the made efforts to influence people to vote for Trump in 2016 is also well known.

                              The fact you think concern over those issues is funny is truly sad.
