I have the right to say that I hate the messenger while liking some of the message.<br /><br />Grow up?! Yes, it's "my blog," but I thought that we could agree to disagree about Trump the man. I'm wondering if this is the case anymore. If this is your attitude, I will unsubscribe if I have to. I don't need any "advice" about how to feel if I care about Israel.

He may have the right policies and the other party is not an alternative, but somehow it just doesn't feel right. And this is because Trump is unlike any previous president. At least before 2016 we did not have a choice where no matter how we voted, we were in you-know-what. (That would also have been true if Hillary had won.)<br /><br />I remember a bumper sticker in 1993 that read, "Is it 1996 yet?" I know how that feels. I think even those who are reluctantly supporting Trump (because they hate the alternative) are also asking themselves, "Is it 2024 yet?"sheldanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696749138880768464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-71251295683567229722019-07-03T06:18:55.370+03:002019-07-03T06:18:55.370+03:00a, Mr Cohen, but the media can't understand wh...a, Mr Cohen, but the media can't understand why the people don't agree with them.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-6564371776649890102019-07-02T20:53:39.594+03:002019-07-02T20:53:39.594+03:00Batya, thank you, your praise means a lot to me.
