The fact of the matter is that they should have seen this shit coming from a mile away.

Or, more realistically, held their endorsement of them UNTIL it has been proven that they will put their money where their mouth is on these kinds of issues.

It takes two seconds to say, "Hey, I like the cut of his jib, but we have been burned too many times in the past for us to give a ringing endorsement. In particular, their unwillingness to distance themselves from the Democrats speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the American electoral system."

You know, be a fucking materialist for once? Actually wait to see how things play out while biding your time and organizing, as opposed to speaking shit and being fucking wrong?

But the fact of the matter is their job is to fill airtime and be funny. Not be correct. And so they will continue to do so.
