He doesn't have to support *all* their candidates, but if he's not supporting a majority(I.e. keeping the House majority), he's not much of a Republican.

I believe the only requirement to be a Republican is that you tick a box on your voter registration form. :smarty:

Also, I'm a Democrat now but I'm not so sold on the Dems holding as much 'power' as say they did when Obama first became president. Though it is clear the current Republican party is the bigger mess, so maybe I am sold. :D

In other poorly phrased statements:

Quote"Truth isn't truth," Rudy Giuliani told Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday morning.

Giuliani, speaking as a lawyer for President Donald Trump, was trying to clarify why the president should not testify for special counsel Robert Mueller for fear of being trapped into a lie that could lead to a perjury charge.

"When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he's going to tell the truth and he shouldn't worry, well that's so silly because it's somebody's version of the truth. Not the truth," Giuliani told Todd.

"Truth is truth," Todd responded.

"No, it isn't truth," Giuliani said. "Truth isn't truth. The President of the United States says, "I didn't ..."

Todd answered: "Truth isn't truth?"

Giuliani: "No, no."

Todd said: "This is going to become a bad meme."

:D

Rudy can't blame it on phrasing, his argument would sound ridiculous no matter how well put.

Why would I root against my own party here in 2018?

Because you think your country is more important than your party.

Sure, but if he doesn't agree with the party's take on what's best for the country, why would he call them his party?

Because you are smart enough to realize that even though you might support the fundamentals of your parties philosophy, the current realization of that has become so twisted and broken that supporting it anyway is tantamount to a betrayal of our country.
"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

I don't think they are at odds with the party's basic philosophy. I'm no fan of social Darwinism and laissez faire capitalism, but if I was I'd think the GOP was doing a bang-up job.

So apparently Trump has advocated at a fundraisers for replacing wind energy with coal, because windmills kill too many birds. I should not be surprised at this any more but here I am ...

Alright so somehow he is managing to disappoint me despite my already very low expectations.

Windmills are ugly and should eventually be replaced by solar anyway.  :P
