Anonymous Op-Ed Crock

Everyone else has jumped on this on one side or the other, so here's my two cents worth on the NY Times anonymous op-ed piece, and why I think it's a crock.
  1. It's self-serving.
  2. We essentially know nothing we didn't already know.
  3. How has it made anything better? Indeed, it's just as likely to make things worse.
  4. The entire GOP and right wing owns this presidency and has been totally complicit in it. Trying to take credit for the "good stuff" while blaming Trump for the "bad stuff" is simply revisionism. Do you think you are protecting "real" conservatism? In 2018, this is the real conservatism and you are part of it.
  5. If you really want to be a hero, let me remind you that there are 500 kids still separated from  their parents and 3,000 of our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico are dead because of the administration you are a part of. Do something about that instead of writing a cover-my-ass "essay".
