Did you read the post I responded to? I think not based on this reply?

Specific quote: "Republicans are always better educated and wealthier than democrats."

Wrong.
Fair enough. Personally I think the republicans and democrats are at the bottom of the barrel. If one does not have the critical thinking skills for them to understand that there are more options than D or R and the parties are doing nothing for their loyalty. Well to me that is not very smart at all.

No other president has treated the press with as much contempt.

Yeah, but the president of the United States should not be one of those people.

Trump went after Sen. Jeff Flake today and will undoubtedly go after Corker now as well as all those in the past. There's not many bridges left to burn. I suspect some of those GOP folks have their sights set on 2020...if they can survive 2018.

So what if the President is incompetent (!!!???). You accept that the guy is incompetent but he has control over our nuclear arsenal...that's what!!!

Congress incompetent? I think we agree in principle but not on specifics. My list probably has different names.

If you run into many incompetent people each day you might ask to be moved to a different ward.

The press is a corrupt entity of the Democrats now, and they treat the President horribly. The people got smart, and elected him anyway. The press/media is no longer a watch dog, but a propaganda outfit for Democrats.

and you think that it is okay for the President of the US to not be competent?

I am glad the Republicans are starting to notice this. I am sure they noticed it but weren't speaking up.

So you're saying that the problem is education?

My question is: How much easier can it get than to call out Neo-Nazi's and Klan members? If Trump cannot do something this easy, and his own party has trouble confronting Trump over this, what does that say about the Republican Party? It tells me that is it morally bankrupt.

Such a sad spectacle.
