Lisa Murkoswki strikes me as a very kind and thoughtful person.

1. Why? eom

2. Because I watched her speech and came to that conclusion.

3. To be honest, I think there are kind people on both sides of the aisle.

But politics isn't about kindness or who you could eat dinner with.

John McCain, John Kasich, or Mitt Romney for example, are likely good men with whom I just happen to strongly, strongly, strongly disagreed.

I'm gay and all these men were against my rights, but I think in their heart of hearts they were decent people. They were good people who had some bad ideas and sometimes did bad things.

That doesn't mean I could ever vote for them or support them for public office because politics isn't about likability. It is about policy.

Trump, and his ilk, however. They are not "good people I strongly disagree with." They are bad people who do bad, horrible, heartless things. They are dangerous and on the verge of destroying our democracy.

4. I kind of get the impression she's a Republican with an ax to grind with the Republican Party

They fucked her over in 2010, and she held a grudge.

5. Same

It almost seemed impossible for a Republican to give a speech like that
