    Uh oh. It appears McCain is not going to be a hero much longer.

    But has been far more willing than anybody to be inappropriately self-flagellating in speeches.
    Saturday: While dedicating a Navy ship in memory of a president who actually served, Trump pivots to the sailors' alleged obligation to support his bill and give him a win. Monday: While speaking to kids, he does the same thing.
    First rule of public speaking: Know your audience and treat them with respect.

    Wasn't that the conventional wisdom going into the election?

    Dems were going to carry delegate rich states like California and New York. For republicans to win, they'd have to pull of an inside straight, and win every swing state, including places like Pennsylvania, where they'd repeatedly failed.

    Who's "we?" Was his audience made up exclusively of Republicans? And does he not know that his despicable party has won the past two electoral-popular splits?

    Trump? Treat non-billionaires with respect? /snicker

    What is going to become very interesting is who he can find to take those WH jobs. He treats everyone except his kids like shit, and top notch people are not eager to be subjected to degradation because Trump has his panties in a bunch.

    Yeah. Amazing how everything flipped in a matter of an hour or so. Almost like somebody flipped a switch.

    Don't bet on it.

    Trump had to be pushed to fire Flynn, and regretted it immediately.

    He's comfortable voicing his displeasure publicly. That doesn't mean he's ready to fire someone.

    Look at Bannon. He was supposed to be gone. Then we get stories about how he's regained influence with Trump.

    If these guys wait it out, they'll be fine.

    Spicey in particular has crawled through light-years of shit-smelling foulness to carry the water of Fucko, who gleefully hurled him overboard. Just like Sessions, etc etc.

    Anybody who works for this pig should know what they're getting into.

    Starman, you spelled "I am" wrong in your sig.

    Spicer wasn't thrown overboard.

    He chose to leave when he didn't get the job he wanted, and instead got a new boss. Happens every day in America.

    He didn't get fired despite being pretty bad at his job.
