The reason I could never be a politician: I don't respect anyone who, even now, says

[Atticus]

they want to "work with" Trump.

I could have "worked with" either of the Bushes. Hell, I could have "worked with" McCain or Romney. But, Trump? Not a chance in Hell!

Too many, in my---perhaps extreme---view, just refuse to acknowledge that, ---Damn It!---this cannot be considered "business as usual"! Trump is not just another Republican with whom I disagree. He is a monster; a deranged aberration supported and protected by a motley crew of greedy and power-hungry sycophants.

If you were evaluating different wines at a tasting and someone handed you a glass of urine, you wouldn't sniff, swirl and sip---you'd be outraged, dump the glass and go looking for the jackasses responsible! And, that's how we should be done with Trump: dump him and identify those---here and in other countries---responsible for his "election".

1. Goldwater was once handed a bottle.of soda

that a supporter made and named after him. When he tried it, he spit it out and said, " This tastes like piss!" And we thought Goldwater was nuts?

2. Trump is as untrustworthy as they come

Trust: the linchpin for working with someone. You have drawn the correct conclusion: Trump is impossible to work with.
