What do Trump voters think? When asked if Trump fired Comey in retaliation for the Russian investigation, their answer is “But you liberals wanted Comey fired!” A valid answer would be “no, my gut tells me that’s all liberal bullshit.” But they can’t even get that far. They think redirection is a good enough answer for any challenging question. They might be reasonable if only you could squeeze an iota of reason past the defense mechanisms. ---

And you know the Fox spin machine is working overtime so when these folks lose their health coverage Fox will be able to tell them how it’s still all the fault of the Democrats. ---

And you know the Fox spin machine is working overtime so when these folks lose their health coverage Fox will be able to tell them how it’s still all the fault of the Democrats. Also, we’ll be at war, and in wartime everyone must expect to make sacrifices–medical care must be reserved for our brave leaders and (to a limited extent) for the fighters.
