You're aware Harris thinks Trump is trash, and a large part of that is due to his prolific lying?

You can be critical of Trump and still have valid and important opinions. As long as your hate of Trump does not dominate and corrupt your thinking apparatus, you can add value to the conversation.

I was never a Trump fan in the primaries, and I cringe when I hear his speaking style. But to denigrate him as a liar and narcissist is hilarious given:

1. All establishment politicians are narcissists, and most are fundamentally dishonest in serving their own wants.

2. Trump was the most transparent and open POTUS since Teddy Roosevelt. He just said what was on his mind. And we had decades of exposure to him prior to his entry into politics. It was never a surprise for who he was... so why then do you and others pretend it is a surprise?

3. It was the agenda behind Trump that I supported and still support. I can tolerate a bad personality getting it done... especially given the need today.

Still waiting on those tax returns from the most transparent and open POTUS since TR. And the White House visitor logs. And it's funny how the most transparent president since TR never would allow anyone but a translator sworn to silence into his meetings with Putin, while Putin would roll into those meetings deep. Oh then there was the thing about payments to the porn star and Playboy model he made during his campaign that he was totally upfront about, and which put his fall guy into prison for 3 years. Then there was the part where he was totally upfront in concocting a tale about adoptions as the purpose of a meeting between his son, son in law, and campaign manager and Russian agents in which they were actually there to receive dirt on Hillary Clinton. And on and on and on.

And I'm not sure why you think any of us Never Trumpers are surprised by who he was and is.

This is why you are an object of wonder. You say things like Trump is very transparent and open.

That's because he believes whatever Trump and his surrogates tell him because (wait for it)... it is the narrative he WANTS.
