I just happened past a TV that was tuned to MSNBC and heard Jennifer Rubin saying "what has Vladimir Putin done to deserve a summit meeting?"
Amazing! Just Amazing! Rubin, of course, is commenting on the stories that preliminary negotiations are underway to set up a meeting between President Trump and Putin. A meeting between the heads of the world two largest nuclear powers is a good thing. They can discuss areas of mutual interest or disputes that need resolution. Rubin, however, is a never-Trumper who has to be against the summit if Trump is moving towards it. The actual reality doesn't matter. If Trump were to announce that he has no plans ever to meet with Putin, Rubin would, no doubt, denounce Trump for insulting the Russians.
At some point, the anti-Trump forces have to realize that the good of the nation requires that they sometimes refrain from attacking every move made by the White House. A meeting with Putin could be a good thing. Similarly, the great jobs report yesterday was good news for the nation, so Nancy Pelosi shouldn't announce that jobs don't matter (as she did, sadly.) The reality is that we are all Americans. We will all prosper or falter together. Success for the USA is a good thing, even if it means Donald Trump can take credit for that success.
Indeed, if there ever were a clear reason why the never-Trump movement cannot succeed, their deranged response to good news is it. Most Americans still are governed by common sense.
