It seems that Mr. Manning and perhaps his closest Conservative friends are trying to ride on the coattails of Pres. Donald Trump.  Do they think that if they rant and point fingers at all non-Conservatives they'll get the angry non-political people to jump on their bandwagon?  I think they are trying to tap into the disappointment that so many feel and are hoping they'll easily buy into being saved by a political party.  It's a dangerous game.

Rona Ambrose's comment that a government's role is to serve the people who pay the bills, not the well-heeled interests that talk the loudest is ridiculous.    She and many of her Conservative friends are pretty well-heeled and they speak loudly.  If hers isn't an attempt to create an "us and them" environment, I don't know what is.

I want leadership that cares about every single citizen--the Conservatives don't seem able to comprehend such leadership in their current mindset.
