    I think Lindsey Graham said the same thing after the RNC back in 2016. It’s been going on forever, but that’s the first time I remember one of them saying it out loud. Paraphrasing, “I’m a politician. You can have your facts, I’ll take people’s feelings every time.”

      I mean, giving him a very very large margin of doubt, there’s a part of this that makes sense. Like you’re dealing with people and you need to understand their feelings.

      BUT if those feelings are so far divorced from facts that they think that immigrants are eating pets, you stand up to your constituents with heart and concern and tell them why they are wrong.
