The people were booing Obama.

They didn't change. They are who they've always been.

What did change was who they nominated. They saw Cruz, Rubio, Jeb and the others that would have been similar to McCain in this clip and said "Nope. They're bitches. We want the braggart and racist who will lie, cheat and steal to get what he wants regardless of the consequences."

I have a Republican friend who is convinced that Trump is an aberration. Republicans, on the whole, don't like him. They just feel no choice but to vote for him and in 2024, they're going to revert back to the McCain ideology.

But this is not an aberration. This is who Republicans are. This is who they've always been. 2016 wasn't a fluke it was a precedent. One that we are seeing in 2020 again, to an even larger extent in many cases.

Sure, there may be the occasional principled conservative here and there. Some of them may be on this forum. But the vast majority of them looked at Trump and said "Yep. This is exactly who we want representing us."

And that should concern every sane person in this country.

Do we think there were no boos at Hillary’s concession speech? I don’t think I heard it, but I have to imagine there were some. Probably at Gore’s and Kerry’s as well.
