Is this tumult driving the good Republicans into the sun?

Dana Loesch on MSNBC was chyroned as "Conservative Talk Radio Host" but I was very impressed that she didn't argue or deflect questions by changing the subject and had good points. Asked whether Trump supporters have infinite patience, she responded "No."

and now they're "Indies" and DINOs dragging the Dem party to the right.

We'll see. Some of the old guard Repubs are coming around, slowly. The Tea Party crowd is pretty hopeless. Our only hope is tying them to Trump in '18 and voting as many of them as possible out.

Well, okay, text. She was like the opposite of Kellyanne Conway.

Bottom line: Most, like myself, support truth over being right. There is a big difference. Produce evidence. That’s how this works.

I don't like this.

“Storm the Townhall” events organized by a former Hillary staffer to produce narrative of discord amongst the base.

If so, who cares? A "former" Hillary staffer has the right to have a political opinion and organize people to petition at a Townhall. Reps sometimes deserve a good screaming at.

1/3 Few things to consider:
1) Whether or not u agree w Comey firing, Trump has the right to fire him

True. The context is the thing.

2) Ppl want evidence not accusations

Fair enough.
