I absolutely adore Naso's shtick, which he's been at for over 10 years now. Basically, it has always went like this:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Of course - as alluded to above - Naso has never been supportive of Democrats or found them to be reasonable. He'll go back in time a few years and point to that period as being an era where Democrats were reasonable (as opposed to *now*, in which they're hardcore extremists), but you'll find the same claims made during that so-called "reasonable" time period. It's just his shtick...a way for him to cry crocodile tears about the party he hates. By 2025, he'll be talking about that reasonable pragmatist Obama who respected wholesome family values as part of his tirade on Hitlery Killton.

Hey, at the very least, my search for the perfect example of this post from years ago delivered arguably the best Naso quote ever for my sig!

Probably not in the sense of decreasing his chances of winning the nomination.  What Trump's 9/11 and Iraq War stuff does though, potentially, is make it harder for the party to come together around him if/when he does win the nomination.  It's more likely than ever that if he's nominated, many Republicans won't endorse him, and may even try to back some kind of 3rd party "establishment" candidate (who would probably struggle with ballot access, but would be put forward as a write in option).  More likely than ever that many Republicans will refuse to speak at the convention if it means promoting Trump, that there'll be controversies over delegate allocation at the convention, over the platform, etc.

Once someone wraps up the nomination, the obvious next step in the narrative is "Is the party now rallying around that person, despite any hurt feelings from the primaries?"  If Trump is nominated, this will be a running drama all the way until November, with new stories every week about how many in the party refuse to go along with being a party led by Trump.

The fact that he *still* doesn't have a single endorsement from a sitting member of Congress or sitting governor (despite leading the polls, with just two weeks to go before Super Tuesday) was already a bad sign for the notion that the party could live with him.  But "Bush lied us into Iraq" is just going to make things worse in that regard.

*sigh* I miss the days of the faux Benghazi scandal outrage by the right and far-left Hillary hatin' kooks.

Those faux top secret special access program emails on her personal email server?

Yes, those too.

Do you all on the far left of the spectrum not realize that you're rewarding Republicans every time you mimic these faux scandal talking points? You may think you're helping Bernie, but all you're doing is helping Trump.

Now, enlighten me again about how you all are the "true" progressives and how us "Hillary hacks" need to be schooled. 

Trump is terrible too, but that's no reason to help Hillary.

Yes, the thought of building a wall and banning Muslims and punishing women who have abortions are such negligible concerns to the progressive cause, right? We gotta break up the big banks (but don't ask us how!) and hold Wall Street accountable and get corporate money out of politics, those are more important than addressing the asinine proposals by the Republican front-runner.

..and that proves to me that you really aren't a progressive and just another sorry, sad Hillary hater. But then again, I'm not surprised seeing as how your candidate is all about himself and his "revolution" or "movement," whatever you want to call it. His true colors have been showing lately with his character attacks against her, which he originally said he wouldn't do. Hillary has raised tons of money for Democratic candidates all across the nation because she understands that a President cannot do everything along: (s)he needs Democratic majorities in Congress before any progressive policies can be proposed and implemented. Bernie either doesn't understand that or doesn't care, since he has done zero to none in helping get Democrats/liberals/progressives elected throughout the country. I don't see how he expects to deliver on all these promises as President with a Republican-controlled Congress.

(Sad part is that she actually raised money for him when he was running for Senate! Why would he let her do that if she's such a terrible, evil, corrupt person?

If your sole purpose is to stop Hillary from winning, maybe you should go join the Republicans.
