I'm glad this article in now just a moot academic description of now null-and-void what-ifs. I'm also glad that these Never Trumpers will find it easy to vote for Biden because we can surely use every vote we can get. But OTOH many of the very same Republicans listed in this old article as well as numerous others who I won't name helped to slowly turn the GOP into what it has become.

The fact that they are now horrified at and are running away from the Frankenstein monster that came outta the Pubbie castle does not totally absolve them from the fact that while they themselves did not perform the operation that brought him to life they sure as hell helped stock the laboratory with the equipment and supplies that were needed.

I have often heard many of these folks talk at length about how dangerous Trump is which is a step in the right direction but I have yet to hear even a single one of them take any responsibility at all for setting the stage and putting things into motion. It sure would be nice to hear some of them accepting some portion of the blame. And if not we'll just have to be satisfied with their vote if not their apology.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
