President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Another words, he would have changed the message to please whatever audience he was playing to?

Welcome to politics, Donald Trump!

 

If he ever criticizes someone for something he isn't known to have done, I assume he is secretly guilty of it. Projection is all he knows.

 

Cubs win!

 

By Curious? Pence would have shot it for sure.

 

I can't remember if I voted in the primary. We're pretty late in the cycle.

Rubio is who I liked the best/thought had the best chance to win, even thought he looked shaky a couple of times.

 

Dude just can't think on his feet. He's that point guard who tries to drive the lane every time instead of dishing off.

 

Can you point to something, anything, to back up this assertion? Did he break new ground? Did he uncover any new evidence? Did he come away with even sort of complete picture of the era?

He did get questionable testimony from a couple of distributors who had already been arrested and were handed to him by prosecutors. He did hurt some peoples' reputations by implicating them using hearsay that wouldn't stand a chance of holding up in a court or even a professional sports disciplinary procedure. Maybe that was the objective?

Here's what Gene Wojciechowski had to say about it...

The Mitchell investigation was doomed from the beginning. The report itself is 409 pages of cotton candy -- wisps of truth teased into a Don King hairdo full of air, hearsay and perhaps wishful thinking. Blow softly on it and it bends and rips apart.

I don't fault Mitchell for its failure. He was asked to dig into the steroids era without being given a shovel. Had he not piggybacked onto several ongoing government investigations, the Mitchell report might have been the length of a Del Taco menu.

The biggest reason Mitchell recommended no disciplinary action based on his report was that there wasn't anything in the report upon which a case could have been built against anyone.

Mitchell, a member of the Red Sox board of directors, shouldn't have accepted the job to begin with then put his name to shoddy work. He embarrassed himself.

 

So are people supposed to vote for the president they think will best get along with Congress?

 

If Bernie would have won in this bizarro world election I assume he would have carried the Democratics to control of Congress as well.

 

Hillary wouldn't have been competent? She lived in the White House for eight years and also served as Secretary of State. She knew where the toilet paper was kept.

 

Chelsea 2020!
