President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Does our KellyAnne know about this?

 

I'd argue it's not that it's too late, the problem is it's coming from a guy who no longer has to win an election. It would mean more from someone who was fighting for his seat than someone on the way out the door.

 

Wilson is a great follow. How did he get into your feed, Inky?

 

Like all they do to all Republicans who haven’t converted to Trumpistas, he will ignore Wilson. And Corker. And Flake. And McCain.

 

Unless Trump sees the video on Fox and Friends.

 

Certain folk don't need to understand the story to start slavering madly. They just need the words "Hilary Clinton" in there and they know it just be a big scandal.

 

Interesting opinion piece calling out the say and do nothing anti-Trump Republicans.

Opinion | Jeff Flake’s Defiant Surrender

"If Corker really means what he keeps saying about the danger posed by Trump’s effective incapacity, he should call openly for impeachment or for 25th Amendment proceedings — and other anti-Trump Republicans should join him. If Flake really means what he said in his impassioned speech, and he doesn’t want to waste time and energy on a foredoomed Senate primary campaign, then he should choose a different hopeless-seeming cause and primary Trump in 2020. George W. Bush should endorse him. So should McCain, and Corker, and Romney, and Kasich, and Sasse, and the rest of the anti-Trump list. They should expect to lose, and badly, but they should make Trump actually defeat them, instead of just clearing the field for his second nomination.

And not only for the sake of their honor. The president’s G.O.P. critics should engage in electoral battle because the act of campaigning, the work of actually trying to persuade voters, is the only way anti-Trump Republicans will come to grips with the legitimate reasons that their ideas had become so unpopular that voters opted for demagoguery instead."

 

There is something to be said for empowering Trump by walking away. If you really want to change things, stick around and fight.

 

I think this is pretty obvious at this point.

 

A *lot* of the Bernie vs. Hillary arguments that still pop up online are started that way.

 

Everybody has their buttons, don't they?
