    Yeah, any Republican would have hired Bannon or Mnuchin, right? (Neither of whom have been at Goldman for years, btw, so it's not like he just went and poached folks from Goldman.)

    (They, along with Flynn, the SoS, the Israeli Ambassador, and others weren't picked by Pence either.)

    No other GOPer would have hired Bannon because they wouldn't want to be associated with white nationalism.

    This is silly too. You never made this argument during the campaign.

    You mocked the leaked emails as containing nothing but inside baseball -- Chelsea's a brat!!

    The media didn't even spend much time covering the leaked emails.

    Meanwhile, the talking points have been distributed. The emails were "weaponized!" LOL.

    And, we have Krugman saying there was an "epic media malfunction" that contributed to Hillary's loss. WTF does that mean? Should the media not have covered the leaked emails?

    We don't know who illegally leaked Donald Trump's tax return pages, or what their motivations were. And, no one seems to think that publishing and reporting on them was an epic malfunction.

    Who leaked the Access Hollywood tape? What was their motivation? Why aren't we questioning our decision to broadcast and cover that?

    They might not watch her show, but they know she's a NYC liberal, who is nothing like her.

    What's the evidence for this?

    All we have is leaks.

    And, let's not pretend the leadership of the CIA hasn't been politicized.

    I'm a worker!

    I don't have a college degree, and make my living with my hands.

    Saying that people got the idea that Hillary Clinton had a problem with electronic communications and saying that there said emails contained inside baseball that people shouldn't have cared about are two non-contradictory statements.

    Trump specifically asked these people for their votes, and spoke to their issues.

    As much as people laughed at the idea, he was the second choice of many Bernie supporters, ahead of Hillary Clinton, who was viewed as out of touch.

    She literally didn't visit a single UAW union hall. LOL.

    I really hope that Tom Arnold does have the tape he says he does (I don't think he does), mostly because I want to see what move the Grand Master Trump apologist makes when really cornered.

    I see Trump for who he is, warts and all.

    You defended him nearly as much as I have.

    I know that, and you know that. But you have turned into chief defender here. I get it. It's funny. I wish there was a secret board here, like Doc's site has, where you could say what you really think of him out of Barron and Starman's earshot.
