This isn't about policy though.

Honestly? I don't see the WH coming back on anything short of a miracle right now.

And if they do turn back to the middle for the general (and actually mean it) then {shrug} not really a big concern for me if they win or not. Not the least bit interested in a RINO in the oval office, especially not one that would have just shown themselves to have all the ethics of ... well, of a politician.

Barring a genuine miracle (or several of them), I believe the nation is largely lost & doomed to continue to spiral down the proverbial drain. Already dead most likely, the body is just still twitching.
