Ode to #NEVERTRUMP

These are observations, and they can apply to BOTH PARTIES (because BERNIE) ..I have not cast a vote for Trump and at present have no plans to IN ANY PRIMARY

Every Passover, with family around the table, and in observation that every generation there arises those who wish to wipe out the Jews there is a song we sing.

Dayyenu - It would have been enough for us

So on this Tuesday as #NEVERTRUMP forces are coating their door posts with the blood of their pure conservative lambs here is a lyric:

If you had only just really reduced the rate of growth of spending
     It would have been enough for us

If you had only just made realistic plans to replace Obamacare
     It would have been enough for us

If you had only made a single REAL effort to secure the border since the subject came up in 1986
    It would have been enough for us

If you had only made realistic plans for military victory in Iraq
    It would have been enough for us

If you had only planned for the real result of not acting on the ‘red line’
    It would have been enough for us

If you had just recognized what the Chinese economy meant MILITARILY
    It would have been enough for us

If you had ONLY just found Lois Lerner in contempt and pushed the effort to jail her to the absolute maximum, and I mean MAXIMUM
    It would have been enough for us

If you had only made realistic plans for the results of free trade for our workers
    It would have been enough for us

If you had only reacted to the real results of free trade instead of doubling down on it, and denying
    It would have been enough for us

If you had dealt realistically with Iran, and with the TREATY in the Senate
    It would have been enough for us

If you had not had those pictures taken with Al Nusra think alikes in Syria demonstrating you understood the issue and realities
    It would have been enough for us

If you had asked WHY Russia felt the need for SEVERAL new classes of ICBM’s, SLBMs, and missile submarines while we kept ours from the 1970′s and 80′s
    It would have been enough for us

But you didn’t.

And now as you see the angel of death (Trump) descend among you rather than recognize your errors, you plan on ensuring HRC (OBAMA III) becomes president?

Rather than plan for the long march through ideology to practicality during an unfortunate and unpleasant Trump INTERREGNUM, you are planning and you are seen to be planning a coronation march for an amoral, entitled, Hillary.

We will say of the GOP in the coming years:

If they had only REFORMED when Trump beat them with a stick
    It would have been enough for us

Great.

This reminds me of the litany against King George in the Declaration of Independence.
