Though, he is losing support from uneducated (college) white males. Who would have thought that would ever happen?!

But Congress is still funded. Optics aside, Congress can do what it damn well pleases. Scale down the delegation and fly commercial.

He just can't stand getting beat by s woman and beat bad at that. That's why he sent out Kiersten to say we can definitely provide the security the president needs, he was too afraid to say anything himself. He's still the loser here, everyone knows he wants to go on tv and lie his head off about the Dems and national security for an hour and she's not letting him. The trip is nothing to her compared to his visceral need for self-promotion and adulation from the deplorables. Big L there, Donnie baby.

I am sure it's just a matter of time before Speaker Pelosi sets him straight.

For political reasons, Dem leaders have to realize this is not the time to leave the country for any reason.

I hope she stays here.

If indeed she was still planning to go. She might have decided against it already, unless you know different.

What is the pressing need to stay here anyway? Trump's goading? A flight from overseas would bring her back in a matter of hours. Let her do her job. She's pretty damn good at it. She's way ahead of any of us.
