She Handled The 'Jokes' Gracefully

The following post is from this past April after the White House Correspondents' Association dinner:

          She handled the 'jokes' gracefully. I'm talking about Carly Fiorina when candidate Trump said...."Look at that face....would anyone vote for that." Sarah Huckabee Sanders also handled the grotesque jokes at the correspondents dinner gracefully....both examples were disgusting.....but we seemed to forget the former.
          Do you remember when candidate Trump posted side-by-side photos of Heidi Cruz and Melania...."the images are worth a thousand words".....or do you remember the video of Donald Trump ridiculing the disabled journalist? Oh, you don't believe that story? Watch the video. How about the embarrassing photos that Ted Cruz tweeted on Melania's modeling days? Oh, he didn't use any of the photos did he?
           "Idiot...dummy....clown....dope"....these were adjectives used all the time by candidate Trump. How about "lying Ted?"  The View panel member Elizabeth Hasselbeck was in a battle with Rosie O'Donnell over the Iraq War....Donald Trump said in an interview that Rosie was right and that Hasselbeck was..."not a very smart person, she's one of the dumber people in television." Megyn Kelly questioned candidate Trump in one of the debates on his descriptive of some women as "dogs....pigs...slobs....disgusting animals" Donald Trump's famous answer was...."Only Rosie O'Donnell.'
            We criticized Barack Obama golfing so much but are silent as to Donald Trump's golfing much more. We demanded Barack Obama's birth certificate but defend Donald Trump hiding his tax returns.....and a hasty Nobel Prize for Barack Obama was absurd but a hasty Nobel Prize for Donald Trump would be great. (They're not talking about that anymore)
             I've posted criticisms of the White House Correspondents Association dinner each year for the last few years but the issue here is how we conservatives can not only conveniently but incredibly forget Donald Trump's history of mean-spirited remarks.....but then again....that's typical in how devotees cannot see the faults in their own gurus.
            The bottom line is that conservatives rationalize it by thinking that they are turning a blind eye to the real Donald Trump for the good of America......but that's the same excuse that patriotic liberals gave for not calling out Barack Obama or Bill and Hillary Clinton....'the Democrats just have to stay in power....for the good of America!' We have given up the high ground on the Right. We use the tactics of the swamp dwellers and laugh at how successful those tactics can be. Political assassination worked good for them.....and now it seems to work good for us....just keep the heat off our man.....the people will never know the difference.
             Now the big push is on to elect Republicans....so another six months of conservative talk radio will be wasted telling us that President Trump needs support for his agenda! We conservatives have abandoned ethics, principle and critical analysis....so I guess President Trump's agenda is indeed our agenda.....it's just not the same agenda upon which he ran for president.
            This republic does not stand on who Donald John Trump is or even who he said that he was....nor has it stood because of our Constitution....as wonderful at that was....or it's military....as courageous and powerful as they were and are! It stands or will fall on whether or not its people humble themselves before the God who birthed it....sustained it....and used His rod and staff to guide it....and gave it that constitution....and its military power....and unless something extreme and radical happens in its pulpits and consequently in the hearts of the people in those churches....it will surely fall.
