    They would had Trump eating out of their hands. Narcissists are easy prey for crafty people. The Democrat party dug their own grave.

    Obama received the majority of votes cast by the voting public which neither of the GOP presidents in the 21st century have done>Both elected by the unknown electors of the electoral college??Not the peoples choice!!

    When I comes to support

    How many supporting Trump were “Birthers”?

    But the real telling statement in this is the last line

    “Simply ignored virtually all his “tweets” and most outrageous statements”.

    It suggests cracks are forming in the solid belief “all things trump are good”

    How can anyone get along with Democrats who lie constantly and who won't stop until they subjugate those who oppose them?

    I do not wonder. Frankly I will take us all back a few decades to when I was then a very loyal Democrat and some might call me then, a radical supporter of them. Without pause, my only votes were cast for Democrats commencing with President Kennedy. I voted for Carter. Carter truly was a huge disappointment or I would still be a Democrat.

    What flipped me? A darned good book. A super book in fact. A time for Truth by William Simon. Frankly the way the book was described, I expected it to totally trash republicans so eagerly I read it. Trouble was when republicans got trashed, they deserved it. Such as Nixon going along with a national speed limit and his raising taxes. Nixon agreeing that oil was either old oil or new oil to be priced totally different.

    The book ended up presenting a compelling argument against the Democrats so I changed parties.

    They prolly woulda fielded better candidates running on actual platforms, instead of the 'I hate Trump the most!' 'No I do!' show that America just wants to turn off.

    "2009 senior Republican figures planned a campaign to bring Washington to a standstill."

    "In his book, Draper opens with the heady atmosphere in Washington on the days running up to the inauguration and the day itself, which attracted 1.8 million to the mall to witness Obama being sworn in as America's first black president."

    "Those numbers contributed to a growing sense of unease among Republicans as much the defeat in the White House race the previous November. The 15 Republicans were in a sombre mood as they gathered at the Caucus Room in Washington, an upscale restaurant where a New York strip steak costs $51."

    What has happened these 2009-2016 years was what I expected to happen immediately after Obama took office and Republicans announced that they were the "resistance" and would fight against President Obama at every opportunity.

    I've wondered how different things would've been if Republicans had chosen to cooperate and get along with President Obama. I'm not suggesting that they support his policies or his appointees. But what would've happened if Republicans had

    1) Avoided all talk of resistance and opposition.
    2) Tapped down the personal attacks on him and his family.
    3) Avoided the sneering condescension of him and his appearances.
    4) Avoided the arrogant condescension and sneering attacks on his supporters.

    One wonders indeed.

    Trump is a joke and that's not a lie.

    Donald Trump is an object of derision among other world leaders.

    Must be why Macron acts like a little schoolboy when in Trump's presence but a giggling gossip girl when not.

    Another crack

    Admission that the TWONK in chief is a narcissist

    Unfortunately it also means that the narcissist will follow the most prestigious flatterer which is why we have seen Trump ooze all over Putin, Kim and Erdogam

    You really think the Market could have gained more than the 10,000 points since the ‘16 elections?

    Its a bubble fueled by debt.

    Government debt, corporate debt, and personal debt are at record levels.

    A prick will burst the bubble. The biggest prick on the horizon is Donald Trump.

    You mean the Democrats should have forgiven the President when he asked for foreign interference in our elections for his personal benefit, used extortion on a foreign leader as an incentive, then obstructed Congress in its oversight role.

    Is that really what you are saying?

    Please provide examples of Democrats making personal attacks on him and his family.

    What gets me is that this “demand” is made by someone who only 2 days ago was arguing that Michelle Obama was really a man

    Like trumps insistence that he had proof that Obama was not born in America... hence by implication, not really an American and not having America’s interest at heart. In fact I heard conservatives say tha Obama actually had an agenda to destroy America

    And then there were the loud and constant assertions that “character matters” so that Clinton should not be president for this reason
    You mean like the condescending attacks on liberals for the last thirty years?
    Why in the world would one ignore what someone said?
    Obama said “you can keep your doctor”. How is it that was ignored?
    He was call a liar while giving his state of the union?

    Dayton... I respectfully do think that you have a point
    But again, respectfully, what ever problems there are with trump... he just keeps inflaming the situation... it just goes on and on and on. And, please, you have to agree that a large number of trump supporters just love when he says outrageous stuff.... hardly how one would behave if you wanted to bury the hatchet

    News flash,
    1. Trump talks out of his ass based on things he heard. And uses lots of hyperbole.
    Lots of what are being called lies simply aren't.

    2. Fact check.org is a biased organization not to be fully trusted.

    No I don't wonder at all since most rational people don't take trumpians seriously and find Dear Leader to be an embarrassment to the office and nation. He ran away after another pathetic performance at a NATO summit. Laughed outta town so to speak.
