actually your habit of repetition of previously answered questions is what has been exposed.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.

Trump can not lead without followers, and he did not have enough followers to consolidate power in the R party which he was trying to take over, so now he will be impeached and cant get much done...that is the first thing....and he is not to blame for that, he gave it everything he had, we the people did not....we failed Trump.
Secondly as I have said over and over nobody who understands the first damn thing about Trump pays attention to more than one out of ten words he says...to understand trump one listens to him as if he were a woman, it is not the literal meaning of the words that matters, it is his attitude that does, it is what he does that does, and we know from experience that he is incredibly emotionally honest....."SEE SEE SEE TRUMP LIED TO YOU!" gets you no place, because in that you betray your lack of understanding of Trump, as well as a lack of understanding of why I like him.

The vigor of a society is directly proportional to its capacity to conduct difficult conversations.
VICTIM CULTURE IS WRECKING A LOT OF IMPORTANT THINGS, TO INCLUDE GUTS AND RESILIENCE.
Non-answers are your stock in trade.
Don't like being called on it?
Try actually and truthfully answering questions.

I do not doubt that Trump "gave it everything he had." It's just that he has no skill, knowledge or ambition to learn in these areas, just like we said. His Admin is cannibalizing itself. He promised to hire the best people. Does anyone thing these are the best people? He framed himself as the master negotiator. He doesn't seem to be able to negotiate with allies, not to mention foes.
The truth is that everything we see today was known during the campaign but supporters were willfully blind. I watched him give vague speeches and now see the same thing after elected. He seems like a kid giving a book report on a book he hasn't read. Bluffing is what got him this far and he can't bluff his way any longer.
You are right, it isn't his fault -- it's the voters' fault.
"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." --J.S. Mill
Trump was more than just about anyone else in my lifetime exactly what he sold himself as, which is why his support has stayed so high in spite of a relentless year long attack by almost the entire Elite Class, using all means at their disposal, because the ends always justify the means with these assholes. .
The Elite Class will get their man, the corruption of America is way too pervasive for them to fail, but it should scare you what a tough row to hoe this is proving to be.
EDIT: This is why:
Why leftists don't trust Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, and Deval PatrickAt any rate, if I had to guess, I'd say we're in for a rather bitter fight for supremacy over the Democratic Party between big money elites on one side and Sanders Democrats on the other. But for actual individuals like Harris, it's worth considering the extremely weakened state of the party elite compared to 2013. Clinton's defeat completely shattered the elite's reputation for competence, and they will have a much harder time beating back a left-wing challenger in 2020. Even on purely tactical grounds, it probably makes more sense to permanently throw one's lot in with the left
Course if we were half as smart as we think we are we would have figured this out at least a decade earlier.

We've come a long way from "read my lips" being enough to put a trustworthy man like Clinton into the Oval Office.
When we discuss lies, we should probably try to distinguish between insubstantial and dangerous ones. If someone says he will make Mexico pay for an alegorica wall it shouldn't be as badly treated as people that tell you that peace can be maintained without violence or that public debt is fine to pay for social programmes.
Love when you can, cry when you have to, be who you must, that's a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival, and one day we'll all understand. - Dan Fogelberg
Like dangerous ones being that nobody on Trumps campaign colluded or met with Russians?
