I tend to agree that we shouldn't oppose Trump just because he's Trump and Trump is a (fill in the blank) , we should oppose bad policies. So far, haven't seen much in the way of good policies coming from the GOP and Trump.

There are few things that Trump has done and I've said, "OK, I give him a pass. It's not bad", (Like the MJ stuff) But those are few and far between.

I don't see you opposing the bad stuff, John. You supported his stupid ballroom...ballroom....
