[The Urban Sombrero]

If you put that much credence in The Post, and that overburden of FEELINGS under which you labor suggests that is most likely the case, it is good that you've already started your inching. Cause you got a LOT of ground to cover. And saying Trump supporters are deplorable is far more serious than just a foolish statement. It revealed how the left really feels about traditional conservatism. The left are everything they accuse conservatives of being.

I do not speak for any monolithic "left." I speak only for myself, and I believe Ronald Reagan was a traditional conservative. Reagan, in my view, would hardly recognize a Putin cozy, isolationist President as a "traditional conservative." Now, I disagreed with Reagan (Nicaraugua, trickle down economics), but I respected him, a lot. I don't use "basket of deploables," don't think that way. I do not agree with a lot of Trump's agenda, but that's politics. The winners set the agenda. The losers seek to obstruct and hammer away. Politics. However, from firing Comey, to blabbing intel to Russians, to 4am tweets threatening and lampooning, Trump seems to lack stability, focus, and a cool, discerning demeanor. Beyond policy differences, that's disturbing.
