I also think the Ds and RINOs are going to successfully block true tax reform knowing full well it's going to harm the economy. The D's best shot at any success in the coming elections is to try their hardest to crash the economy knowing the Rs and Trump will get the blame.
The economy bottomed out and Obama befitted from $10 trillion of borrowed money and the Fed keeping interest rates low taking the economy the only direction it could go. If the Ds can successfully block tax reform and harm the economy, they know Rs aren't going to come out to vote thanks to all the broken promises.

Left the navy cause he could no longer tuck it

After yesterday's revelations regarding Fusion GPS, their connection to the Kremlin, and their collusion with the DNC --
I see it the other way. There's no way he DOESN'T run for re-election as long as he's healthy. Not doing so would be letting the media win in his eyes.
I guess I'm just looking at it through the eyes of a reasonable person, not a narcissistic billionaire.
If I had a brain tumor, I'd probably choose to spend the last few months of my life with my family, not ****ing the country up in Washington.
If I was an old ass billionaire, I'd probably choose to spend the remaining years I had on this planet enjoying the fruits of my labor as opposed to trying to make the country a better place in spite of a large contingent of the population and leadership trying to make it worse.
I honestly think Trump is having a ball right now in spite of everything. He thrives on conflict. I do think he's legitimately sick of the Russian BS (like the rest of the country), but I don't think he regrets running at all.
This. Like the above poster said for a "racist right wing nut job" in pretty "pro gay" they have rights , shouldn't be verbally assaulted... I know a few couples who've been together for 20 plus years. Gay marriage ? Whatevs
But this whole "trans movement " is absurd . And I've seen other gay men and women speak out against the ABSURD things their Saying/ this media Gauntlet of "trans this trans that " periods are for men too" " shaming men for liking women with real vaginas " etc etc
I ABSOLUTELY wish no harm or ill will. Trans people should be treated with respect (so to speak ) and absolutely shouldn't have to worry about hardcore verbal , societal and physical abuse. But let's not pretend they are just super normal people . Especially with the media now trying to shove down our throats that children can and should express their "trans feelings " (even tho it's the parents who brainwash them into this) or that kids
Should be able to decide to have a fu$king sex change .
It's simple biology (I know there are rare cases and that is sad/ difficult I'm sure ) but 99.6% of the time - biologically- you're 100% no questions asked - male or female . No matter how many surgeries you have or what you get chopped off or how much makeup or how many boobs you get will change that . You're playing extreme dress up .
How about you want to make this country a better place for your children and grandchildren who will have to live here for the next 100+ years after you're gone. The direction Dems had this country heading with a Hillary win would have saw Donald's fortune and his kids inheritance eventually be given to every mentally ill citizen in this country. If he gets crap done the rest of this presidency that he has been doing the first 7 months then I see no way he allows someone else to come in with a chance to ruin in versus sticking it out another 4 years to cement his legacy.
I'm not walking away with libs and Dems thinking they got the best of me and I'm no one. Imagine with Trump's ego. He won't walk away.
Name someone in your party that does that.
Reading about that piece of shit traitor McCain voting democrat on the health bill. Get to the bottom where comments are and there is this...
"MSN has temporarily removed commenting on our websites while we explore better ways for you to engage in discussion on the issues you care about."
Comments must not have fit the narrative.

Not a single one.
Not a single Democrat will do this. You're all in no matter what when it comes to the left. How many of you were critical of Obama? How many Dems were critical of Obama? How much of the liberal MSM were critical of Obama?
You all have no self awareness whatsoever.
I hope it doesn't make me sound like a bad person, but McCains sympathy card ran awfully short for me.
Screw that guy.
Screw that guy.
John McCain cannot die soon enough or painfully enough to suit me.
Yeah, eff him. I mean the guy was releasing statements bashing Trump from his f****** hospital bed.
Eff him and eff the idiots who actually vote for him in Arizona.
I can understand the frustration but this is over the top IMO. I've lost people to cancer and my wife recently went through a few months of cancer treatment - to wish that pain on anyone is inhumane. Fvkc cancer.
1. I see people saying some variation of "Just let Obamacare die its inevitable horrible death. Then the Dems will own that and take the blame.".......Ummm. No. Anyone paying even a little attention knows that with the House, the Senate and the WH, the Republicans own everything and will be judged responsible for everything. With our media, the Rs are responsible anyway. Anything reflecting poorly on Ds is buried or minimized.
2. I'll say it again: I don't want or need to defend Mitch McConnell generally - but on this failure, what was he supposed to do? He can't force Murkowski, Collins and McCain to vote a certain way. The people who campaigned on a promise to repeal and then vote the other way - they should get all the blame on this.

The spectacle McCain displayed with his vote was disgraceful. The only time I have actually felt sorry for Mitch when he just stood there realizing he just failed passing the biggest bill possibly in his career.
I'm wondering how much of either Obamacare or the Senate bill (or the House bill for that matter) Cher or John Legend can explain?
Wtf ever . Like bell and John legend really give a flying F. They're rich entitled celebrities and wouldn't be caught DEAD having to go to some of the clinics / have the type of shitty insurance many with "Obamacare " have.
Smfh
Will add that I firmly believe McCain covered for other spineless Republicans who did not want to vote for it either (his buddy Graham being one of them). He knows his time in Congress is almost done and is taking the fall so his buddies can claim they were on board when their re-elections come up. They all knew his one "no" vote would kill it. They are all scumbags.
GDP is improving. Already nearing 3% that Obama never hit once.

Read yesterday that in 10 years the number of Medicaid enrollees will be at 112 million (vs 72 million now, I think).
I'm wondering who's going to pay for that?

He put his ego over the good of the country.
Zero affect on any of them. They can afford the best doctors money can buy. They don't have to rely on the government to tell them where, who, and how they get their healthcare. Bunch of evil bastards all of em.
Nope he got the message real quick from his handlers on which way to vote. No ego needed when fear is instilled into a corrupt compromised politician.
Seriously- F Hollywood libtards.
Look I don't care if someone is democrat or whatever . But don't use your celebrity platform to spew stupid $hit that doesn't apply to you whilst also being incredibly hypocritical.
There HAS to be more "non left wing crazy " idiots in Hollywood . There just had to be- but my guess is they're to afraid to even remotely speak out in fear of being absolutely raw dog raped by the media and other Hollywood ilk .
Ugh

The Fraud of ‘Russia-Gate’ Exposed
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: Was the “Russian Hack” an Inside Job?
Key among the findings of the independent forensic investigations is the conclusion that the DNC data was copied onto a storage device at a speed that far exceeds an Internet capability for a remote hack. Of equal importance, the forensics show that the copying and doctoring were performed on the East coast of the U.S. Thus far, mainstream media have ignored the findings of these independent studies [see here and here].
Independent analyst Skip Folden, a retired IBM Program Manager for Information Technology US, who examined the recent forensic findings, is a coauthor of this Memorandum. He has drafted a more detailed technical report titled “CyberForensic Investigation of ‘Russian Hack’ and Missing Intelligence Community Disclaimers,” and sent it to the offices of the Special Counsel and the Attorney General. VIPS member William Binney, a former Technical Director at the National Security Agency, and other senior NSA “alumni” in VIPS attest to the professionalism of the independent forensic findings.
The recent forensic studies fill in a critical gap. Why the FBI neglected to perform any independent forensics on the original “Guccifer 2.0” material remains a mystery—as does the lack of any sign that the “hand-picked analysts” from the FBI, CIA, and NSA, who wrote the “Intelligence Community Assessment” dated January 6, 2017, gave any attention to forensics.
NOTE: There has been so much conflation of charges about hacking that we wish to make very clear the priIII. The Fraud of ‘Russia-Gate’ Exposed MEMORANDUM FOR: The President FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) SUBJECT: Was the “Russian Hack” an Inside Job?
“The Russians” were the ideal culprit. And, after WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange announced on June 12, 2016, “We have emails related to Hillary Clinton which are pending publication,” her campaign had more than a month before the convention to insert its own “forensic facts” and prime the media pump to put the blame on “Russian meddling.” Mrs. Clinton’s PR chief Jennifer Palmieri has explained how she used golf carts to make the rounds at the convention. She wrote that her “mission was to get the press to focus on something even we found difficult to process: the prospect that Russia had not only hacked and stolen emails from the DNC, but that it had done so to help Donald Trump and hurt Hillary Clinton.”
