BOOM! Chris Hayes nails it.

In just a few short months, Trump has managed to do to the Republican party what he did to his Atlantic City casino...bring a thriving enterprise into complete self destruction.

My quick transcript, Hayes' words were better, but you get the point.

why the idiots who voted for him thought it would be any different with the presidency is way, way beyond me.

Just like chimpy and his legacy of failure.

Past behavior is the best predictor of future actions.

Of course, the corporate media basically glorifying dump and covering up his lousy record didn't help. Nevertheless, to any voter with two brain cells to rub together, this catastrophe was completely foreseeable.

in order to save it, I suppose is the message. Something like The French Revolution or Facist Germany, Italy and Japan during WWII.

and they really haven't recovered much (Marina now the Gold Nugget) or at all (Plaza, supposedly to be torn down) and the Taj (recently bought by Hard Rock who will hopefully breathe life into it after Icahn let it sit vacant).... That's the danger here!

the arrogance and lack of principles of the GOP politicians have done it to themselves, they elected him, they have supported him, they are responsible for all the stupidity he brings to the party.

To give so much credit to Trump is ignoring facts, and those are the general corruption of the republican party, their thirst for serving the masters while screwing up the rest of the country, including bringing the USA to the lowest level in the eyes of international leaders.

For Germany to say that even without Trump it will take a long time for Europe to consider the USA as a leader...Does Chris Hayes understand what that means? They understand that the problem is more than Trump, they understand that it is the leadership in this country that is the problem. The republicans have done so much damage in so little time that it will be hard to fix things before they get worst.

It took Obama five years to get the country back after the rampage that Bush and Co. caused, but it is going to take longer now because this devils have touched on every corner of the country, they have given the Russian carte blanch to do havoc to our democratic system, and that is going to take a lot of fixing to get it back to what Obama left. So many laws these jerks have reversed, in the environment, God forbid if the stupid tax plan moves forward, etc. etc.

I don't know exactly what Chris Hayes said, but if he blamed Trump only, he missed he only hammered the nail half way through.

and now electing Trump the world sees that the US is very unstable and is not trustworthy. Obama had to do a lot of work to fix damage relationships that Bush administration caused throughout the world and convince them that what Bush did would never happen again.A democrat president can come in and try to fix things but I don't think the world is going to forgive or trust us again because they know it is a given that once a crazy republican president comes in that their will be massive chaos to deal with on the world stage.

They still thrive enough to fuck everything up for the rest of us, fuck with the right to vote, fuck with the right to choose, fuck with the right to self-determination, fuck with the right to survive. They think they're just "starving the beast," when they really wind up starving PEOPLE.

that's what happens when you have a stupid a$$ man squatting in the WH who has no knowledge of politics or diplomacy or how the government even works. Just gets his news from Fox news.
