I'm unaware that any spending has been stopped. Would you please enlighten me? I think we're talking past each other here. Neither I nor Ann Coulter are against any effort to stop excess spending. The point being made is that the rhetoric doesn't move the needle any more, and if Republicans want to stop spending they're going to have to get elected first, and harping relentlessly on stopping spending when they have never done anything about it even when they had total control, the voters no longer listen to them. They need to find a different path to success. Coulter points to the immigration debacle, which is 100% on the Democrats, and 80% of all voters, Republicans and Democrats alike, are very concerned about. She is urging Republicans to jump on that bandwagon with all they've got. I don't think you disagree with the point being made, you just don't like the person making it because she got crossways with Donald Trump. And if that's the case I would tell you that's what makes me think you are a full-blown Trumper. Maybe I'm overreacting, but Coulter doesn't name or mention Trump in her piece, but you seem (to me, at least) to be taking issue with it because it's her. I'll apologize if you say I'm wrong.
