The corporations still run the GOP, and Trump is in league with them.

You can't, literally you can not, take over a party that runs on dark money without replacing it with your own.

The dark money party takes over you.

If you ever succeed in driving them out, they will take their money with them. That has not happened yet so don't kid yourself, the global corporations have you and your compatriots by the short hairs, which explains why you are all so frustrated about Trump's 'agenda' right now.

Trump is not nearly so frustrated as you are. His concern is to hold the base together, but he already has what he really wanted all along. Trump has already won, while you wait for a wall.

Yeah, we should have impeached him a long time ago. Seriously, you're comparing Obama, a 8 year president who had a couple minor scandals, to Trump who has so many scandals that we see a new one EVERY DAY. He is currently under 6 active criminal investigations. And thats just the ones we know about.


At a certain point dont some of you start looking at what you type, and feel a little shame?

Hillary outspent Trump by more than two to one with the darkest of dark money and still lost.

This is a junk website. Give us a decent link... Repubs love to talk about the fake “dark money.”

And AGAIN, Repubs can only complain about Hillary. Where is your defense of your boy, Trump??

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the Democrats. We saw that in the midterm election and there's no liklihood that Trump will even recognize the message of the voters. Trump needs to be gone for the benefit of the country but I'd not move forward with impeachment in the House until the Senate is on board. The ongoing investigations may move things in that direction. Trump is increasingly dangerous as he becomes less restrained by logic and reason due to the recent cabinet resignations. Ann Coulter and Fox News are now his primary advisors. The Republicans can save themdelves and get rid of him on their own either through Amendment 25 or by having him resign. Trump is clearly unfit to be President or Commander in Chief and Mattis' resignation coming in February (following Kelly's resignation) may force the issue among GOP leadership.

I'm warming up to this idea: don't impeach Trump. Let the rot fester and pile up the indictments. Expose it all: the crooked businesses, the collusion, his tax evasion. Expose not just Trump but all the Repubs who assisted him in his wrongdoing. Force the Repubs to suffer with the rotten leader they have, force them to suffer through a bitter primary where the party self-destructs in an internal battle between the true conservatives vs the Trump base.

And when Trump is gone in Jan 2021, take that stack of indictments and throw the book at Trump. Lock. Him. Up.
If things were 'as bad as they are today', back in 2015, Obama would have been elected to a third term

And The New York Times' Maggie Haberman reported that some conservatives who have worked for Trump or supported him are saying they "regret" doing so and that the administration is "off the rails"


The Republican Party is getting nervous, very nervous, with Trump in office. He's an albatross around their collective necks.
