that just usually means they can hide their assholiness in polite company. The GOP is losing even that veneer of class.

They're all cut from the same dirty cloth.

the ruddy, mottled face screams alcoholic to me. Not a perfect "science" as plenty of folks have skin problems, but knowing the allegations, it sure as heck matches up.

and allows your "true self" to be visible.

I'm a very friendly mellow drunk. not really much different than when I'm sober. But I haven't been "drunk" since I was maybe 28 years old.


People who are "mean drunks" simply are much better at hiding the meanness (to various degrees of success) when sober.

Ted Cruz is probably a very mean drunk and likely a bigger asshole.

Trump is probably more boorish and "pussy grabbing" when drunk.

The top conservative is tRump, a known grifter who lies, cheats and gets retribution on those who cross him. Below him are others who are loyal to him unendingly. That is not the American way our founding fathers envisioned.

Conservatives, are the mob.
