Probably just someone like Sheldon Adelson, trying to influence public opinion in favor of Trump by throwing money in their pot. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I think they have raised so much money because they are scared. They know the races are going to be closer, so they know they will need more money to run them. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | I was watching Fox channel tonight. Many of the talking heads are sure railing against the Trump investigation. No fair to look any farther into Trump's affairs than necessary. When did the rightwing stop liking rummaging through their opponent's affairs looking for rubbish or crimes? Ever? Or just when Trump got elected? Besides, there is nothing to find. Right? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | More hypocrisy Trump said that under his leadership the country would “follow two simple rules: buy American, and hire American.” President Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida has asked permission to hire 70 foreign workers this fall https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/07/20/during-made-in-america-week-president-trumps-mar-a-lago-club-applies-to-hire-70-foreign-workers/ 15 housekeepers, 20 cooks and 35 waiters One of the steps is to advertise locally. They don't have to advertise nationally. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Stephen Colbert did have a wonderful one liner on his show. Donald Trump JR said in retrospect he would have done things differently last summer in meeting with Russian lawyer. Hindsight is 20-20. Colbert agreed that American voters would see things differently in 2020.
It does occur to me that many people think that Trump tweeting 8000 times, spending 320 days at Trump golf course and not passing any major legislation is about as good as it can get for four years. |

That outcome has been mentioned here and in other places...if you get nothing done, it could even bring you votes from the people happier with the status quo than the outcomes promised by the other party's candidate. Trying to "fix" anything that is even halfway considered an entitlement is like grabbing the bare ends of a hot electric cord...there is a shocking amount of resistance even if everyone knows the entitlement is broken in any way. Not fixing them is to the detriment of our nation as a whole, but that matters not a whit to the average politician intent on remaining entrenched in office. |

But he isn't getting 'nothing done'. So far he's cancelled over 600 job killing Obama EPA regulations, with many more coming. He's getting a lot done, screw the 'major' legislation. Obama kept the economy strangled with his executive orders. Besides, I'm with Mark Twain and Will Rogers who thought the country benefits most when congress was on vacation. They can't screw anything up, like was done with that 'major' legislation Obummercare. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Trump's Presidency will not be considered successful unless he gets something done by some other means but Executive Order or other Executive Branch means. Memory is short; not so long ago we (those who might not have been Obama fans) were chiding him for governing by EO and not doing much after the ACA. Now you are saying that Trump is getting a lot done by reversing/ eliminating and implying that should be considered success. I guess one has to decided which one is true... you can be a success governing by EO or you cannot. We can't have it both ways. No matter what Rush says. |

Better hurry, he only has 7 1/2 years to go.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
