    All of the conservatives who are coming out against Trump now are just bad liars. Everyone knew, at least for the last decade, how bad of a human being the man was and is.

    I understand that sometimes you have to make tactical alliances for politics, but to come along later and say that you don’t know a certified scumbag is in fact a scumbag, that’s just unbelievable. I would prefer if they come up with a plausible lie. For example, they could say that they knew he was bad personally but they thought his policies were constructive, or they believed that he would try to clean up the swamp, or they thought Hillary was going to be a disaster so they needed to oppose her by any means necessary, or anything that might have a grain of truth to it. Those things might also be lies, but at least give us something. Show some decency.

      Ikr? Like as soon as he started running people knew all his dirty laundry.

      I talked to a few people and they would just look me in the eye and say no.

      Cons don’t care about facts.
