To be fair to Rob...

ER — 9/6/2018 8:10:51 PM (archived)

I don't think anyone with any sense wants to defend Trump, not even the most dexterous Righties. The man is undefendable, and they know it better than anyone, he embarrasses them every day. Trump's few defenders, the oh-so-aptly-named Deplorables, do so reflexively, because in their black and white universe it is simply forbidden to think that maybe the Libs were right about something--that maybe they might be right about anything.

Its like our past debates about WMDs, Global Warming, Muslim rapists, Minutemen, Benghazi or Birtherism. Rather than admit they might have been wrong about those things, they simply refuse to play at all. At least, Rob comes back to stick up for his side, after which he regularly gets abused, and pounded into submission..

Personally I would like to see our wingnuts come back, but at the very least they might lead off by admitting once, just once, that maybe they were mistaken about something. Anything.
