El Burdo, my posts reflect my own thinking on various topics. They do not reflect the "GOP" as you put it. I consider myself, and always have, a "classic conservative," something that no longer exists in the Republican Party, which has been completely co-opted by Trump, who, by the way, is not anywhere near a classic conservative, or a conservative at all, for that matter. You correctly note that I have been negative, with good reason, in my assessment of Trump. You, however, misread my comment when you state, "so I was anticipating that you would find his behaviour reprehensible too. Instead you find mine so." I of course find Trump's behavior, both in this crisis and in his overall actions as an individual and president, reprehensible. I certainly did not indicate that I found your behavior or comment reprehensible. As I stated, I simply did not understand what you were driving at when you linked "what I have already said" with how I feel about Trump trying to buy the German anti-viral vaccine. I suppose this is another example of how the internet and various fora can lead to misunderstandings that take two or three back-and-forths to straighten out, something that could be done almost instantaneously in a face-to-face conversation. Such is our modern world of communication. Bill
