How Do Repugs Even Think That Trump Has A Chance For Re-Election In 2020?.....

They can't be that brain dead. All they have to do is recall what happened in the November 2018 Midterm. The Repugs were pretty much whipped and mostly because of Trump.

Why do they continue to bet their future on Trump going forward? Does anyone really believe that Trump has a chance on getting re-elected? One would think that the Repugs would be doing everything that they can now to distance themselves from Trump. I just don't get it. What is he holding over them to make them keep on supporting him?

It's Happening - The MSM Has Given Trump The Green Light To Call It A National Emergency.....

Listening to Hardball now the consensus is that Trump's only way out of this corner he backed himself into is to invoke a National Emergency. They are saying that Trump would come out looking good if he did.

They are basically in the process of normalizing Trump's behavior as an autocrat in this situation and green lighting him to do it.

So everytime Trump pushes the crazy envelope - the MSM let him get away with things and normalize his behavior.

Sorry folks - this democracy is on a pathway to demise.

His Walkout From This Meeting Today Was Part 2 Of His Plan To Shift Blame To The Dems.....

Part 1 was his oval office speech yesterday. Part 2 is his trying to make the Dems look bad by walking out of this meeting. Part 3 is his visit to the border - I think tomorrow - if it is still on. I'm sure that that border visit will be choreographed in his favor with a bunch of people taking his side.

The good thing is that the American People aren't buying it and the poll numbers are going south for Trump.

So Now He Is Blaming A Humanitarian Crisis On The Dems....

We all know that Trump created the humanitarian crisis. Now midstream he's changing his words because he backed himself into a corner with this wall.

You need to listen closer Mr. Trump. Pelosi will negotiate on 'border security' - but she and the Dems are not going to give you a wall.

Take Trump's Speech Of Last Night & Substitute Gun Control Where He Talks Of Border Security.....

Rewrite his speech to include examples of people being killed by guns and the mass shootings we've experienced here in the U.S. if you want to elevate something to the level of a National Emergency.

In comparison - we do have a National Emergency with respect to guns versus border security.

Other Then Lawrence O'Donnell Has Anybody Else Mentioned Trump Using The Speech As A Fundraiser.....

Last night after the oval office speech - L O'D told us about the e-mails that went out before and after the speech that were intended to raise campaign money for Trump off this speech. To me that is big news because it is a visible abuse of such a solemn environment on the part of Trump. Oval Office speeches should be reserved for only the most important issues that a president is faced with.

I've listened to some of the reporting this a.m. and have yet to hear anyone else mentioned this outright conning that Trump used this oval office speech as a fundraising activity.

Am I being too critical here of Trump? Is it 'ok' for the MSM to give Trump a pass on this abuse of his position as president?

Is this another example of the MSM normalizing Trump's behavior?

Is anyone else as outraged as me about this?

I'm Worried That Some Of The Comments From The Talking Heads About Trump's.....

Oval Office speech are almost dares to make him invoke a National Emergency.

They are kinda saying that he chickened out by not invoking a National Emergency. The problem is that Trump doesn't like to look weak or like a chicken.

I wouldn't be surprised now if he digs in more on this shutdown and even goes as far as invoking a National Emergency.

Right now - he's probably watching the TV to find out how well he did and what the talking heads are saying he should do next.
