    I still don’t understand how you look at Rove’s generation and say “damn, they helped turn their party into raving lunatics with their approach to politics, we should welcome their endorsement of our party.” If you think this is only about how shitty the republican party is, you are missing half the point.

      Where do you get welcoming of endorsements?

      It’s not like anyone thinks they are less crazy than before. The hope is that their supporters take a step back and realize something is wrong with the current crop

        Welcoming, celebrating… Whatever you want to call it. Seems like people are cheering for it, and I don’t think they should be. Force those fuckers to create a new party or something, but I would have hoped any response to this kind if endorsement would be derision and shunning. I can’t imagine that anyone still on the Trump train at this point is going to give a fuck what these W-era staffers thinks.

          Acknowledgement?

          I think the confusion for you is that you’re under the impression they are being invited to the Dem Party, they are not

            Idk… I see a fair bit more than acknowledgement in the comments here for example. Quite a bit of “we’ll take all the votes we can get”. Pretty gross, especially considering the votes on the left that the party apparently won’t try to get.
