And there’s the problem. When you say you want to vote for Democrats to “send a message to Trump” in the name of “your principles,” what you are saying is you’re willing to vote for a party that has expressly promised to reverse the tax cuts, reimpose the regulations Trump’s administration is canceling, further nationalize healthcare and legalize open borders now and forever. Not to mention at least tacitly endorsing the use of the IRS to suppress political speech, the use of the Intelligence Community to spy on political opponents, and the use of the Justice Department to criminalize the opposition. Whats more, it’s the party that has promised to impeach Trump, leading to a political crisis the outcome of which no one can predict.

All to “send a message” about “your principles”.

Here’s some news: the message you’re sending is “I don’t care if the country goes to hell in a handbasket as long as we punish that vainglorious bastard,” and the principles you’re defending are “how dare you people fail to do what the clerisy tells you to do?”
