The main accusation that came from Michael Wolff's book Fire And Fury was that Donald Trump was like a child where everything was about him. We already knew that but the book addressed the issue with White House staff anecdotes and quotes. How did we handle this difficult character description....we....who supposedly occupy the higher ground in this civil war/revolution/collapse of the United States of America...it's culture....and it's society? Did we admit that we were concerned also that he was often easily persuaded by whoever was with him that day....and then deal with that? No....we showed that there was really very little difference between us and them as far as transparency and ethics go. We set up a straw man and proceeded to beat it down....which was easy to do.
The straw man was the accusation by some that Donald Trump was insane. We obscured the genuine accusation that Donald Trump acts like a child at times.....and that he thinks he's a genius....it's in the genes don't you know....we replaced this accusation that could not be so easily destroyed with one that could....that he was said to be insane.....and we gave him a really hard Rorschach test.....to prove that he wasn't! Good job conservatives.....you play the Democrat game very well.
We were critical of Barack Obama when he puttered around the golf course as America burned. Candidate Trump tweeted his outrage. So now President Trump golfs way more than Barack Obama ever did. Do we protest? Of course not....he needs his exercise.
The Democrats gave us eight years of talking points in the media where they all seem to miraculously choose the same words. We called it time after time after time......and now we do the same thing!
We would get frustrated beyond measure when Barack Obama or Bill Clinton would do something dramatic to steer the attention away from something not so complimentary in the news. President Trump is the king at this as he throws us a really big bone to chew on....then almost immediately yanks away our supper dish.
We wanted Barack Obama's birth certificate and academic records! What was he hiding? They want Donald Trump's tax returns. Outrageous......that's his own business!
Folks, I listen to conservative radio talk shows almost throughout the day. They're very picky on who gets on the air.....and the caller better stick to the topic that they gave the call screener. They don't want the real probing questions about President Trump....not all of the talk show hosts by any means.....but certainly Rush Limbaugh. How many calls does he even take! And they're usually..."Oh Rush what an honor to talk to you....you changed my life....mega-dittos on every single word than comes from your formerly nicotine stained lips.....tell us more on how wonderful Donald Trump is.....and how the stupid things he says are actually genius!"
Mitch McConnell used to be the opposition during the campaign.....now he's a pretty smart guy. Ivanka was a persona non grata once.....no longer.....and stay away from Jared.....stick to the Russian issues.
On this latest government shutdown 'victory'....your celebrating too soon folks! And ignoring the fact that President Trump initially said "send me a bill and I'll sign it." This is classic....let's laugh at the departing army and have a party!
We build up this stock market rocket.......but no longer even mention the national debt! What are we going to do when this baby comes crashing down along with all the other good economic news? Well, we'll blame somebody else of course! Obamacare is no longer very important....nor is true tax reform.....nor is a genuine wall....nor it seems is even North Korea! What's really important is the 2018 elections and Donald Trump's reelection! How blind we have become. This conservative movement was not as vigilant as it was believed to be. Here also......as in the Christian church in America....there is only a remnant.

The miscalculation that was made by conservative talk radio......once again much of talk radio....by no means all of it....was that it was presumed that if they actually held Donald Trump's feet to the fire that we....who were not very smart without their guiding hand....might make big mistakes after thinking for ourselves.
