    Prove me wrong. Otherwise, you’re just pissing in the wind.

    I don’t agree with the majority of your interpretations, but I’ve said the party has overreached and made mistakes.

    Ultimately, it’s on the right side of history. No doubt about it.

    It’s your right to disagree.

    Looking the other way on illegal immigration was conservative businessmen wanting to make money off the cheap labor. Liberals just didn't want to treat them like an inhuman second class once that stopped being profitable.

    I recall him saying adding to the debt was unpatriotic. So he didn't add to it?

    Gotta pay for credit card wars eventually. Took courage to take responsibility for the actions of his predecessor.

    Besides, haven’t you heard? The deficit doesn’t matter when republicans are in charge. Only an issue when they’re in the minority.

    Very complicated.

    Manafort worked on op-ed with Russian while out on bail - CNNPolitics

    "Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was ghostwriting an op-ed while out on bail last month with a Russian who has ties to the Russian intelligence service, Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Muller's team said Monday."

    "Even if the ghostwritten op-ed were entirely accurate, fair, and balanced, it would be a violation of this Court's November 8 Order if it had been published," prosecutors wrote. "The editorial clearly was undertaken to influence the public's opinion of defendant Manafort, or else there would be no reason to seek its publication (much less for Manafort and his long-time associate to ghostwrite it in another's name)."

    WaPo: Roy Moore Accuser Shares New Details About Their Relationship

    Woman shares new evidence of relationship with Roy Moore when she was 17

    Debbie Wesson Gibson was in her attic hauling out boxes of Christmas decorations last week when she noticed a storage bin she said she had forgotten about. Inside was a scrapbook from her senior year of high school, and taped to a page titled "Those Who Inspire" was a graduation card.

    "Happy graduation Debbie," it read in slanted cursive handwriting. "I wanted to give you this card myself. I know that you'll be a success in anything you do. Roy."
    -----------------------------------

    "At a Nov. 27 campaign event in the north Alabama town of Henagar, Moore said, "The allegations are completely false. They are malicious. Specifically, I do not know any of these women."

    "Gibson said that after finding the scrapbook, she was not sure whether to make it public given the threats she received after publication of the original story. Then she heard what Moore said last week, she said, and contacted The Post.

    "He called me a liar," said Gibson, who says she not only openly dated Moore when she was 17 but later joined him in passing out fliers during his campaign for circuit court judge in 1982 and exchanged Christmas cards with him over the years. "Roy Moore made an egregious mistake to attack that one thing - my integrity."

    Between the love of Moore and Manafort's obliviousness to the situation, this administration has me numbed. And it's only a few minutes into Tuesday.

    Every Republican needs to understand if Roy Moore is elected, he will be their running mate next year. The Democrats will have ads out making the Republicans look like the T-Birds in Grease.

    It was posted but wasn't much discussion. More important things were tossed out, like how Flynn is a victim and Hillary is the real problem.

    Manafort is an arrogant, ignorant asshole who things he's above the law (see Trump, Donald).

    Hopefully he rots in jail. Or cuts a deal to get bigger targets.

    The news cycles are mind-numbing.
