   And unlike the left, if there are any conservatives   
   celebrating Rob Reiner's (and his wife's) death, I   
   haven't seen them.

   A point that leftists apparently think shouldn't   
   matter.

   I notice that Doc ignored this part of your response.

   And I wish he hadn't said it. But Trump is who he   
   is. As Doc knows, I was never a big fan of Trump   
   personally. But since he's doing great things for   
   our country, I am able to forgive some of Trump's   
   personal shortcomings.

   Yes, they absolutely did. But then people who are   
   able to celebrate the deaths of people they don't   
   like probably LOVE that the guy wants his political   
   opponents dead.

   Either that or he just doesn't care what they think.
