I disagree. It's not just the Republican party who is being damaged, he is doing irreparable harm to the country with every insane tweet he sends and every world leader he insults. There are bigger things at stake here than political parties.
I hear ya and agree to a certain extent but a little suffering now makes the end result that much better.
He is unfit for office. However Hillary was even more unfit for office.
Trump is mentally unstable. No matter what you think about Hillary, she is of sound mind. Mental stability seems like it should be a basic requirement to hold the most powerful office on the planet, don't you agree? That is such an obvious statement no one could argue with it. Yet even you admit that that very low bar is one that our current president cannot clear.
I'd much rather see Trump in office than either Obama or Clinton.
Yes. Indeed, I would rather see Trump in office than Hitler, Stalin or Putin.
However, it does not really address the topic, now does it?
You may want to start a historical thread asking people whom they are glad are not in office instead of Trump. I have provided my three names, but there are plenty of applicants.
I may as well add Satan. Yes, I'd much rather see Trump in office than Satan. Now, I feel better about Trump!
Of course he's fit for office! What kind of question is that?
You apparently do not know history. These radical Leftist extremists in Congress are making it harder for Democrats to get elected, and they will try anything to overturn a legitimate election and throw out a duly elected President. This will come back to bite them hard in the future (it's already begun).
No, Donald Trump not mentally unstable. Please don't come up with an excuse for his preposterous, abhorrent behavior. He's just a douchebag idiot, and he knows exactly what he's doing.
What a silly observation. The same could be said about all the Republicans elected to congress. It could reasonably be argued that we have so many uncompetitive districts as a result of Republican gerrymandering as they control most state legislatures.
The election for president was competitive. Trump only lost the popular vote by some 2% and nearly three million votes.
My district is 50-50. We just elected a new Dem congressman in 2016.
I have said before, and I shall say it again: President Donald JOHN Trump's best hope against impeachment (should there be evidence to support such) or resorting to the 25th amendment, is the Republican majority in each chamber.
However, the President is alienating a lot of his Congressional support.
This is an 'opinion' piece, not factual reporting (some of our Trump supporters have difficulty in telling the two apart):
"Tom Railsback, one of the last surviving members of the House Judiciary Committee that voted to impeach Richard Nixon, recalls the moment he knew he and his party finally had to break with their wayward president. "I personally liked Richard Nixon," said Railsback, a Republican from Illinois who is now 85. "He campaigned for me. But I reached a point - a number of us did - where we all felt that this was the most important decision of our lives."
Now, this OPINION article opines that, in May 2017, Mr. Trump's support among Republicans was becoming shaky.
I have previously opined that Mr. Trump made no friends in the House when he called the House-passed healthcare bill 'mean'. Recall, he had initially called it 'well crafted' (although I doubt he read it), and hosted the Rose Garden celebration. Then, he turned on the Republican representatives. As I previously noted, it takes no great imagination to imagine the Democrat campaign ads against Republican House members next year. All will use the word "mean", as uttered by the Leader of the Republican Party.
I also doubt that he is winning friends in the Senate. Indeed, the Senate passed a bill creating even harsher sanctions against Russia (98-2) with reports coming out of Washington that Trump is pushing back and trying to ease the sanctions.
Look at yesterday's tweet storm. Instead of the media focusing on the passage of Kate's Law (which was reported on, but clearly overshadowed) the news was consumed not only with Mr. Trump's tweets, but the responses of a goodly number of Republicans (that Democrats condemned the tweets is not newsworthy).
If Donald JOHN Trump loses significant Republican support, then Trump's House of Cards will fall.
There have been reports, citing anonymous Republican sources (for the House and Senate members do not wish to be on record, yet) that Mr. Trump has little respect behind closed doors.
And for those you that claim all polls are false (save for the ones you like), remember this: House and Senate members seem to implicitly believe in polls. Both parties also conduct their own private polling. We do not know what the private polls show, but I bet it ain't that Mr. Trump has majority support among the American people.
Proof of the pudding? Look at the comments from Republicans yesterday about Mr. Trump's tweets.
Like or don't like his tweets, Republican or Democrat, his tweets have little to do with whether or not he is fit to be president. He may have a personality even his mom had trouble liking but until he does something that is truly damaging to the American people he has every right to remain our president. So far, he has done more good than bad as far as I am concerned. Do I think he is a little nutty or strange? Yes.
