In the end, you will vote for whatever Republican is on the ballot.

You don't like him, I can understand but to say he is pathetic is over the top. His problem is: he does think he is running a business and he was very niave when he decided he wanted to be president. Most of what he wants to do is good, not bad and it is what he said he would do, the problem he has no idea how to get things done. Will he ever change? Most likely not, if no one has gotten through to him by now, it is unlikely they ever will. No matter what the future brings I would still rather see him in the white house than the choices we were given.
Really, Nita?

I'm very disappointed you are carrying water for this POS.

FYI, most of what he wants to do is line his pockets and set his children up. That's it. He has NEVER done anything for anybody but himself. He's not going to change now.

You know quite well he's a con man and an idiot.

It appears you have set your country aside for the party. Sad!

Trump want the senate to use a simple majority before they even have a bill that can go to the floor for a vote. Very premature to be tossing around threats, at least get to the point where there is a filibuster.

The tax plan was only quickly talked about though it was before this Comey thing and this Russia thing gained tons of steam with more and more entering the scope of the investigation.

That is soooo funny considering the last 6 years of the republicans.

Maybe the Republicans realize that "Trump's agenda" will likely put them out of office in 18 months. If Republicans thought for a minute that Trump had any good ideas they would be behind him in an instant. They are desperate to pass some legislation. The fact that they aren't tells you everything you need to know. Even his own party knows he is full of ****. They're all working real hard trying not to get any of it on themselves.
Yes, they are desperate to pass some legislation, and it appears, based on the 2 different AHCA bills the House passed, they they really don't care how good the legislation is - but, even so, I agree, they know he is full of s**t, and they are not willing to tie their futures to him.

If he keeps up the dingbat behaviors, and loses them some seats, they will turn viciously against him pretty quickly. Can't afford to lose the party for him, and they may have learned their lesson from this election and change their way of running primaries. Having 17 candidates was a train wreck that allowed a highly motivated minority to end up running the show. He may actually succeed in tearing the R party into bits.

The man is mental.
So Dems changing the rules to pass ObamaCare is OK?

When Democrats stand up for other countries not paying their fair share but demands that Americans pay more, that's hypocritical and anti-American.

During the campaign Hillary and Bernie declared it was time for the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share in taxes.” But when Trump demands that NATO countries put their money where their mouths are and pay their fair share somehow, they declare he is the embarrassment?

How ironic that socialist countries like Canada, France, and Italy are not living up to what they require of their citizens, “pay your fair share. No, the national embarrassment is allowing America to be taken advantage of within NATO.
