Also, how is Bernie a crook and a wimp?

Trump has made several promised, what has he actually accomplished that he promised during his campaign?

- Wall: not built
- Tax cuts: went to the wealthy
- Deficit continues to increase
- Coal jobs: still not here
- Healthcare: still broken

Added new tariffs which caused price increases for Americans. The trade war has hurt farmers and has INCREASED the trade deficit with China. The trade war is a failure.

You're right, almost every economist has stated that the tariffs are a terrible idea that will only end up hurting the American economy and people.

It's been a failure for over 30 years.

But you didn't care about how it hurt this country until Trump put the issue in the spotlight.

Now you care about the farmers in flyover country? Yeah right. I've got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn for anyone that believes that.

"At the end of the day, what is most important to me is to see that Donald Trump is not re-elected president, and I intend to do everything I can to make sure that doesn't happen.

But if -- and this is an if -- if for the next year, year-and-a-half, going right into the heart of the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump and Trump, Trump, Trump, and Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, and we're not talking about health care, we're not talking about raising the minimum wage to a living wage, we're not talking about combating climate change, we're not talking about sexism and racism and homophobia, and all of the issues that concern ordinary Americans, what I worry about is that works to Trump's advantage."


It's not going to do any good, impeachment will not even make it to the Senate floor, and it will allow Trump to play his victim card. My best advice to the democrats, focus on the issues.

Newsflash: Americans are overwhelmingly satisfied with their own healthcare and coverage. And what they think about OTHERS' healthcare is directly related to whether they think anyone else's access impacts theirs. In addition, "climate change" and "sexism, racism, and homophobia" aren't on any list of top concerns of "ordinary Americans."

So that old socialist parasite, Bernie Sanders, can flap his gums about those issues from now to 2020--and it'll be fine with me.

Sure they are. Keep repeating that mantra.

I disagree with Bernie on this one. Elizabeth Warren has it right. It's not about a political party or even about Trump particularly - it's about the oath taken to uphold the Constitution and the Law. They have an obligation to do oversight even if they are worried about the political fallout because the crimes committed are clear.

I think the sane people feel the same way. He is a rogue president that lies continuously and has been getting away with financial crimes for decades. He's the most immoral, indecent man ever to sit his big fat @ss in the Oval Office. He is a fast food loving, lazy, obese man who knows nothing about how government works and has no regard for the law or for the welfare of the citizens of America. He's loser. That was obvious during the 2016 campaign.
