[Hoot Gibson]

I realize you're at an extreme disadvantage when you're not quoting some brainless #NeverTrump, but you could at least try and come up with your own material when making your pathetic attempts to insult those who disagree with you. Which BTW, is everybody on this board.

You are obsessed with being part of the majority. You should know by now, that I am not somebody who you can intimidate into conforming with group think, nor am I somebody who responds favorably to your insults. I have not changed. You have. I am the same consistent conservative that I was when I joined BGR more than six years ago.

Let's clear the air on something here. Hoot has made a reputation for supporting his views with sources and lucid posts. Most of the visitors to this forum regularly indicate their appreciation for his efforts. I'm one of them. You on the other hand have done precious little to articulate your views on any particular position whatever. Just coming on here and slamming conservatives won't win you many interested followers. When you say you ride the fence, you're saying you don't really know what you think. Why don't you lead off and expound on the issues that you care most about?

You are the one who started this exchange of insults. Even when I stopped responding to your insults, you persisted in taking shots at me. When I agreed with you, you were nothing but supportive. Fair weather friends are no friends at all.

Two things are likely to happen with Trump. He will either lose to the weakest candidate who the Democrats have ever nominated and Democrats will be blamed for the next four years, or Trump will eek out a win over the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever nominated and Republicans will get blamed for the next four years.

In either case, I am very comfortable with just saying no to two horrible alternatives. So if am the only one of 10 regular posters on this forum or the only one of 10,000 BGR posters who holds that opinion, it will not matter to me. I don't measure my self worth on how many people agree with my opinions. So, feel free to continue to remind me how unpopular my opinion is. Your opinion of me bothers me almost as much as rain bothers a duck.
