I think that is one of the key reasons people used to convince Franken to resign. It won't work directly, though - Trump won't resign.


Oh, of course he won't resign. But with these accusations back in the news it will probably make for some good Twitter meltdowns from him.

And if the Dems win back the House in 2018 (and I realize that's an enormous *if*), they can open up investigations into these allegations.

I'm actually surprised there are so many blue counties throughout the south.

There are large regions in the Southeast with majority black populations. The Mississippi delta is one example.

The guy is on record saying that things would be much better if every amendment beyond the 10th were repealed.

Well to be fair, the 13th was particularly problematic in Alabama.

Sadly, Trump Is Winning

"This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write and admit: Trump is winning."

Trump says if it hadn't been for the hurricanes, growth would've been as high as 4%.

I would guess the opposite. Wouldn't hurricane disaster create lots of spending and economic activity. People have to dig into savings and replace things. All kinds of construction and repair jobs start to come into play.

I don't know though.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

He's delusional.

Pretty soon he'll be saying if it weren't for the hurricanes he would have won the popular vote by 4%.

"Moore’s loss is good news for patriotic Americans. The media would have set up tents outside Moore’s Senate office around the clock, capturing his every utterance, so they could broadcast anything stupid he said and demand that all Republicans defend it or disavow it."

So in other words, Ann Coulter confirms Trump supporting Moore was stupid in the first place.

Coulter is critical of Trump on many
counts, she's always disagreeing with
him. She's like me, that Trump's job
was to keep the wine soaked bridge
troll out of the WH, which he did
admirably.
