Douche Bags Gotta Douche

Or why as a "True Blue Conservative" Brett Stephens still wishes Hillary Clinton was our president.

Tax cuts. Deregulation. More for the military; less for the United Nations. The Islamic State crushed in its heartland. Assad hit with cruise missiles. Troops to Afghanistan. Arms for Ukraine. A tougher approach to North Korea. Jerusalem recognized as Israel’s capital. The Iran deal decertified. Title IX kangaroo courts on campus condemned. Yes to Keystone. No to Paris. Wall Street roaring and consumer confidence high.

And, of course, Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. What, for a conservative, is there to dislike about this policy record as the Trump administration rounds out its first year in office?

That’s the question I keep hearing from old friends on the right who voted with misgiving for Donald Trump last year and now find reasons to like him. I admit it gives me pause. I agree with every one of the policy decisions mentioned above. But I still wish Hillary Clinton were president.

I didn't vote for PDT to be the president of my church council. I didn't elect him to be my BFF. I voted for him to enact the measures that Brett Stephen thinks are good but not good enough. F*ck you.

Yeah, I want to be governed by an unindicted felon and lectured to by a douche bag.
