        That’s the point, this isn’t true. They will find another.

                It’s just as much of an assumption to think it would stop, and given past examples the GOP doesn’t tend to stop initiatives when they switch figureheads.

                  and that democrats don’t exactly change foreign policy when they are in power. however, we seem to be seeing what’s more like the sundowning of a mad king than anything approaching what we could describe as “policy”

      you know i have had this argument with my doctor. you still have to treat the symptoms. treating the cause means you have to treat less symptoms, but you still have to treat the symptoms or death comes a lot faster.
