Start to shift attention to your 2020 candidates, insurance coverage and tax cuts.

Russiagate is a political win for Trump. Trying to fight that is stupid.


I couldn't agree more with this take (except maybe the apology). Continued fighting only looks like sour grapes and feeds into the GOPs view that this was nothing but a witch hunt and Dem vendetta from the beginning. "They're out to get me by whatever means necessary, don't let them get away with it."


Yep.

Any further wailing from the Ds on Capitol Hill or elsewhere on this subject is like whining from the Saints about the no interference call in the NFCCG. How about winning the game on the field instead of expecting the refs to bail you out?

Stop whining. Start winning. Need the health care issue to take hold for 2020.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday that Attorney General William Barr should come before the Judiciary Committee to discuss special counsel Robert Mueller 's probe.


There is some more to this, like wanting to investigate Comey, Loretta Lynch, Clinton, etc.


It's been the same Lindsey Graham since the day of the 2016 election and he got a look at just how well Trump did in his state. His previous path was the path to a certain primary challenge and loss.

There is no mystery here.

Sure and I think politically the best way to get it is to take a very moderate line and make it a question of "what's he got to hide?" The more, however, the Dems push "impeachment," the more the call to release the full report can be successfully cast as an attempted witch hunt, where Dems will just be looking to leap on any little thing in the report as a way to delegitimize the president.

I think the difference here, if you are thinking of Hillary and what the Republicans did with the emails, Benghazi, and the like, is that Trump is a sitting president. Its much harder to get hose kinds of things to stick to someone who has already won once.

You need substance, real every day kitchen table bread and butter for regular people substance, to unseat a sitting president (Carter, Bush). Or overwhelming evidence of a real crime (Nixon).

Start running ads about Trump directing his DOJ to overturn ACA and how his budget is going after Medicare.

That’s an issue that has legs and moves political needles for people.

And it’s real. And it’s haloening.

Hell, enough bad publicity and Trump maybreveree course.
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

House fails to override presidential veto of emergency power resolution for wall funding...Congress cedes more power to executive mostly along party lines...Republicans are for limited government and are staunchly against executive overreach lol.

Trump might be president for life so deal with it.

Republicans are for limited government only where it serves their purposes, i.e. allows them to add to their riches. Otherwise, they are so far up your ass, Google Maps couldn't find them.

Rudy Giuliani falsely claimed on Fox News Monday night that special counsel Robert Mueller was paid $30 million to head the Russia probe—and host Sean Hannity did not (bother to) correct him.
