McConnell, in Private, Doubts if Trump Can Save Presidency

Exactly. Trump started it off by creating so many meaningless feuds in the primaries, McCain, Cruz, Rubio, Bushes, Romney, and more. Trump even started a feud with Fox News. Then he creates more once he has been elected. It does seem Trump is reaping what he sowed. Call it karma.

Goebbels said: A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth

but ironically he also said:

There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.

I think people are seeing Trump for what he is: A big fat liar.

OMG, what a mess the RADICAL left is trying to make, this is total and complete BS and one has to wonder why? What exactly has Trump done to create this kind of hatred on the part of the left?

What planet do you live on again? Does your planet have one or two moons?

Poor whittle Trumpee such a nice man and he's the victim.

While I disagree that Gorsuch is fine, I agree with your post in general.

It's not so much that Trump is a climate change denying, Islamaphobe who wants to wall off America from the rest of the world. It's that he made up a lie about Barack Obama wiretapping him and tripled down on it, when everyone said, "Come on man, just admit you got caught with your pants down. It happens. Be an adult and admit you made a mistake and everyone can move on."

That communicates an unfathomable amount of insecurity to the American electorate. We need someone secure in his station, rather than lashing out at Meryl Streep, Nordstrom, The Mayor of London, etc.

How was his claim about wiretapping a lie? They have admitted to it. If it was done for political advantage or not is debatable and there isnt any proof that Im aware of that it was, but the wiretapping did happen.

The last polls I saw said Hillary would win the election. Really don't give a damn about polls but care more about results and the American people will always vote their pocketbooks, they did in 2008 and again in 2016. One of these days you radicals are going to understand that

Yawn... do you seriously not understand the difference between an election poll and opinion poll? That said, even though election polls are much more complicated than opinion polls, the 2016 general election polls had Hillary up by 2-3 points, which was the margin by which she won the popular vote? Spot on!

Maybe you should study up on that and then return humbly to the debate once you know what you are talking about. Sorry, you may not like science, but most of us respect it.

It's all moot, as Trump*s malfeasance, incompetence, negligence and general lack of intelligence is leading to his rather quick demise as an American POTUS. He will be gone by this time next year.

The 5% threshold gets you some of the presidential matching funds. It took 15% in the polls last year to supposedly get a third party candidate into the debate. Now the debates are run by the bipartisan debate commission who sets the rules and standards. The presidential debates used to be sponsored and run by the League of Woman's Voters. But the League had the audacity to allow Ross Perot in the debates back in 1992. So the two major parties yanked the debates away from the League.

So don't hold your breath waiting for any third party or independent candidate to be included into the debates. If one manages to gather the 15%, the bipartisan debate commission will just change it to 20% or find a reason not to include the candidate.

If I were to make any changes it would be that any candidate that get on enough state ballots to achieve 270 electoral votes automatically qualify for the fist debate. Both Johnson and Stein did that. The second debate I would raise it to 400 electoral votes, Johnson qualified once more, Stein not. In fact Johnson was on all 50 state ballots and that would be my threshold for the last debate.

I like your suggestion on debate invitations.

No, it didn't. The FBI said they have no evidence of Trump's claims.
 
McConnell, though doing his part to destroy the traditions of the Senate, must be pleased at the President wanting to strip the Senate of its traditions in order to give the President a meaningless signing ceremony. He knows the President doesn't care about what a bill is or does, he just wants to look big. If we valued the naming of our country's official bird breed, it would be the same as altering 1/6th of the economy in the eyes of the President. He just wants to look like he's winning. Nothing else matters.

Respectfully, your remark regarding "Attacking McCain......" is not accurate. Trump has a very effective and successful "Bully Pulpit." His base will give him the support he needs at the congressional level in upcoming elections. As I mentioned earlier, the GOP is fundraising at twice the rate of any of its nearest competitors. We will take seats in 2018. With seats, we will achieve our goals. We will then add another conservative member to the Supreme Court. Liberals, commies, socialists, fascists are on the wrong side of history. If you think the Justice Department under Jeff Sessions is goofing off, then you are not the savvy political mind that you think you are. Be patient, Trump is really your worst nightmare. He is going to save America.

One warrant was granted for a server communicating with Russian banks. Not granted for political reasons.

At a House Intelligence Committee open hearing on March 20, 2017, Comey stated that neither the FBI nor the Justice Department possessed any information to support Trump's wiretapping allegations

I suggest that you learn the true role of the Federal Government as well as a true role of personal responsibility and realize that today's Democratic party doesn't understand either, apparently neither do you. Donald Trump has done absolutely nothing to hurt you your family or this country. You don't like his personality neither do I but that doesn't matter results do

I have never seen a new Pres squander his mandate so fast, zero legislative victories, multiple investigations, and a sly endorsement of the KKK. All this in only 7 months, strap in, its going to be a long 4 years.

It won't be that long. But unfortunately Pence the tele-evangelist and going to bore the pants off of us after Trump leaves.

yes there is no proof that the information gathered was used as a political weapon. That is true. I dont think anyone can fairly say that it was or was not at this point but I am hopefull that this is one of the things the mueller investigation will put to rest.

Trump was correct in saying they were tapping his campaghin.
