That's Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. When they say jump, Trump says how high?
Lol.

Do you actually believe what you wrote?

Trump is an egomaniac that never wants to be upstaged by anyone. The thought that he would lower himself to take direction from another person shows that you haven't paid very much attention.

Lol, Trump can whine and moan all he wants. Ryan controls the purse strings, McConnell controls who gets to be in Trump's Cabinet and SCOTUS. He NEEDS Ryan and McConnell. Trump is not all-powerful like you want him to be you seriously sound like you wish Trump was a dictator or something

I'm in the same boat too. It's totally not fair at all, they all need to go! And yes, their kids, too. Their kids can come back when they are 18, but if they want their family with them, sponsor them like everybody else has to do

Lol, you believe the house didn't control the purse strings and the senate didn't control approving nominations until now?

Well, actually that doesn't surprise me.

Aren't you one of those people who think Hillary "won" the "popular vote"?

The press has been relentless on him since the inauguration.

At least during the campaign Trump was playing his political opponents off each other as well as the press. The MSM paused in bashing Trump to praise Hillary which set up a better dynamic...as far as entertainment goes.

We need a good third party/situation to appear on the scene and get the attention of the press off Trump for a second. That will recalculate the hyper settings back to a more benign level.

Hillary did win the popular vote. The sky is also blue, despite what Mr. Orange tells you

Wasn't HH a democrat?

Do you also believe there is a "most strokes" contest in the Men's 100 meter free at the Olympics?

BTW, what did "winning the popular vote" secure her? Oh, that's right, nothing, because there is no such thing.

One more question. Trump didn't campaign for the most popular votes, he campaigned for the most electoral votes. Do you think Hillary campaigned for the most popular votes?

I'm a Democrat and, although I am against illegal immigration, since no other country (that I know of) allows it, I don't think deporting 11 million people makes sense because of the cost. We would need so many more ICE agents, detention centers and judges, since we do have laws that protect people who are in the U.S. We need to focus on people who are violent criminals and target employers who hire undocumented workers. The wall is another bad idea because even border agents say an 18 foot high metal fence is a better (and less costly) idea. We just need to expand what we already have and add more surveillance.

Back to the subject, I don't know how long Trump will last. It really depends on how badly the Republicans think they need him. I mean, look at CPAC and all the hypocrisy. Just last year they wanted anyone but Trump and now they're cheering for him, even when they know he's full of it.

The main question is will Trump accept the results of the election after Hillary's landslide win?
