I don't hold that against him. He had his political consultants telling him what to do, and he was also a class act. Besides, he did fight back, just not as memorably as Trump.

I still think Romney would have made a pretty good president.

His approval rating according to who? The pollsters who said Clinton had a 98% chance of winning? The problem with lying all the time by the media is that no one has any trust in them now.

The list of those who cannot figure out where Moore's head is includes Michael Moore. The fact that Trump stands for and advocates many of the same positions important to working Americans that Moore has fought for for years is inescapable. Still, MM feels the need to hate him....just because. He continues to struggle in search of a good reason.

They've cried wolf one too many times. Nobody is alarmed anymore.

Im getting pretty sick of this particular peice of nonsense.

Nate Silver is in my mind the most accurate, and he gave Trump a 30% chance. And guess what? Thats a pretty darn good probability. Having 30% when your opponent has 70% doesnt mean you are going to lose. It means you have a 30% chance.

Even the 98% nonsense means-YOU HAVE A CHANCE.

The media and people who understand statistics dont judge polls by a single result. Gah!

Absolutely! Well said and 100% correct. Sadly for us...

CNN arrived at 545 am and promptly put six CNN stickers on front row chairs...Most other news outlets struggled for one...
CNN sent producer level and major political reporters...They had an obvious agenda..Not the truth of a story but an agenda

I see more control possibly in the future... CNN will get a seat...Doubt it will be front row

CNN reporter was an asshat...He made his bed

Fake sleezy news...

We know definitively that our media lies..Fabricates published half truths..And we know from past reporting that CNN is rabidly anti Trump

Trump treated the CNN reporter like the rude child he was

I watched it live too.

My first thought was he took a lot of questions compared to Obama at his press conferences. This is not to say Obama deliberately doesn't answer a lot of questions just that Trump doesn't go on and on with each single answer, eating up time. If he wasn't the President, he'd make a good press secretary.

The announcement of the guy that got the VA job got lost in all of the other news that came out of the press conference. He better be good because picking someone from within the VA doesn't seem like a good idea on the surface.

Looking forward to the first Trump State of The Union address.

Another thought I had was that he should have someone sweep his Trump Tower offices for bugs.

The lawyer/accountant who talked about his business interests did a terrific job because even I understood her. No legal gobbledygook. I thought she was really interesting.

And, he put baby (CNN) in the corner.

But the point is that Trump set the tone without having anyone removed. You claim that bullies usually shut people down. That doesn't mean Trump was the only bully, however. He was just louder and had the name calling ready.

I wonder why Trump didn't just have the reporter removed for disruption.

Your obvious hatred for President Trump will have no effect on his plans for repairing the damage your boy caused while in office.
He's behaving exactly the way we hoped he would. Get used to it.
There's a little dog a few houses down the street that I hear barking every time I go outside. You remind me of him.
It's become just background noise
