Good luck to him and his future.

Repubs are showing themselves to be the brainless, yearning to be lead sycophants they've always been.

Bunch of snowflake betas.

Cpwardly troll comes out and attacks people who haven't even posted on this thread. Typical for that pinhead.

Apparently the owners of the station did not want to lose half their audience, IMO just a business decision.

So he decided to risk losing the OTHER half, eh?

So by your estimation 1/2 of the listeners can't handle even one moment of criticism of Trump?

What a bunch of snowflakes

"Apparently the owners of the station did not want to lose half their audience, IMO just a business decision."

That's close. It was a business decision. But it wasn't 1/2 of their audience they feared losing. It was probably a much bigger chunk of their advertising revenue, which is the lifeblood of any media outlet.

Devotees will not stand for the leader of their cult to be criticized and internal critics will be excommunicated.

You will toe the Trump Party line or else you will be eliminated and your family will be killed. Republicans accept this while Democrats would never accept this. Which side are the cowards on?

MSGT would also see obedience to the Nazis as a business decision.

Back in the day before the GOP became the Reich-wing party, there were Dems and GOPs and each had its share of "conservatives" and "liberals". The workings of Congress were not nearly so polarized. Political families of both parties and the wide range of ideologies mingled after hours and generally left political differences at the office. Nowadays, the "conservatives" of that 1960s-1980s generation would be ashamed by the tone-deaf, lock step, behavior of GOP conservatives from Reps Nunez and Jordan and Senators McConnell and others.

Whines but fails to retort the claim that he will not be found criticizing his Dear Leader Trump.

Which only proves the point.

Welcome to the club of partisan politics. Stick around kid, you will see a lot more of this type of activity every day.

Yeah, and Liberals have their fair share of people who would have appalled the Left that are in politics today. Why make a balanced statement and then ruin it with partisan hate?
