Cory Booker (48) has also been getting a lot of screen time lately too


I'm not 100% sold on Booker for some reason, but he's growing on me. I think the lack of bench argument is a fallacy though, just like the "Democrats stand for nothing but not-Trump."

I realize Trump proved that you can be an old figure of ridicule and still win the presidency, but it's not a strategy I want to count on.
Rubio's an empty suit and has no chance in national politics.

Do you still think he has a future? I ask because I'm honestly curious what someone more invested in the GOP think. If the new base is Trump's supporters, I don't think Trump can win them over, but if it returns to normal, does the party try and forget Trump ever happened and go with a full-on Never Trumper and leave anyone who was "complicit" where they are in Congress?

I think this answer changes drastically depending on what/if anything happens with these investigations, and whether or not Trump makes it to 2020. If he makes it to 2020 it would be very interesting to see if he has to fight a real primary or not.

WH has defined close family (for the travel ban) as parent (including in-law), spouse, child, adult son/daughter, son-in-law/daughter-in-law, sibling (whether whole or half) including stpe relationships. They excluded grandparents, grand children, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers/sisters-in-laws, fiances, and other extended family members.

The WH also said that a hotel reservation, paid or unpaid, is not a bona fide relationship w/ an entity in the US (I wonder if a Trump Tower reservation changes this).

All this information paraphrased from a NYT article I'm reading on my phone, but too lazy to link.

Well, in fairness, Trump would know about low IQs. I don't know about y'all but my money would be on Mika all day long in a Mika-Trump debate. Even better would be Maddow-Trump; we could pay per view that MF.

actually surprised he hasn't railed against Maddow yet considering she's been the ratings leader for cable news for 2 months now

That was low-key dropped

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/06/0 ... use-239264

It’s still not clear exactly what initiative Melania Trump will make her platform — during the campaign, she said she would use the role of first lady to speak out against cyberbullying. But that initiative has since been cast aside, another White House official said.

Her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, claimed Melania Trump is still passionate about the issue, even though she has yet to highlight it in any public appearance. “While cyber-bullying is something she speaks out against, that is but one subset of her focus around the overall wellness of children,” Grisham said in an email.

Senator Cassidy will either be a hero or a heel with BCRA/AHCA/Wealth Care/No Care/Whatever. Pushing back on the idea that maternity care can be dropped from essential health benefits he said:

Sen. Cassidy wrote:Women can't get pregnant without sperm


Sounds like a no without serious overhauls.

So some surrogate gets to CNN in time for the bonker tweet thing, but he is there to talk about healthcare so he is sitting there like a stone face from Easter Island. They keep asking him. Sounds like he is finally talking a little that the tweets are distracting. LOL

Gross domestic product increased at a 1.4 percent annual rate versus the 1.2 percent pace reported last month, which is still the worst performance since the second quarter of last year.
