"On my very first day on the job, Mr. Trump forced me to lie about such a stupid, childish, insignificant thing like the size of the crowd at his inauguration. What credibility do you think I had left after that? If you answered "zero," move to the front of the class."

So the Repub candidate decks a reporter and
gets arrested and then wins the election in
MT. They love stuff like that in the cowboy
state, of course he won. He would have won
anyway, Trump took the state by 20 points
and he's more loved than ever according
to the polls. Great story, though. Old West
stuff.

One factor - 37% of the voters voted early, and those people could not change their votes. Some of them wanted to.

Just wait until a Fox reporter gets the same kind of treatment. Then the snowflakes will melt.

A fox reporter was there and witnessed the crime.
All major news outlets used her eyewitness account regarding the crime.
Foxnews barely reported it even though they had a fox reporter witness the crime.

He said this a million times on the campaign trail...


Thanks. Is lying an impeachable offense? Make believe that DJT has done no other bad things, is this bald faced lie enough to impeach? What if we can find 50 similar lies? Does he have to commit a crime to be impeached?

THIS lie isn't an impeachable offence, but lying under oath is (just ask Bill Clinton) as is obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and contempt of congress (Nixon)

No, he won't be impeached or removed from office for numerous broken campaign promises, including ones that he never intended to keep, and other lies to the public.

He won't be removed from office explicitly for mishandling classified info, because he is allowed to do that.

He won't be removed from office for his business conflicts of interest, and enriching himself with his policies. Unethical, but not illegal. Mostly. Some are trying to go after him using the emoluments clause.

What he could get impeached and removed from office for is obstruction of justice for this Russia thing, whether or not any ties to Russia are proven OR dis-proven.

This is the first EvenBob YouTube video I've ever watched. It's a historic day.

Ya know, I'm honestly a little relieved we don't have to care about 4 years of Hillary's coughing fits. I don't think they're any indication of some life threatening illness as some of the crazies on the right do, but they don't look good.

But mostly, I'm curious how she went through three 90 minute debates without even a clearing of her throat or a sip of water...

Actually, I have had Fox on a bit today. They reported on this story several times and even question whether or not the candidate was fit for office. They had the reporter on at least once.

Sorry...not paying THAT much attention to know if she was only on once...
