    That's about the size of it.

    And what other outcome could anyone expect.

    Trump walked right into a no win situation defying everyone who warned him.

    And he even continued to charge into the abyss even after the Special Prosecutor handed down an indictment that not only named the names of the Russians who headed the effort. but detailed how they did it. and laid out the path they used to launder the money!

    Putin owned Trump on that stage,. even before the first question from reporters. And it went quickly downhill from there.

    One of the 12 walks across Red Square and his head explodes into a red mist. President responds like Vlad, "The United States has never..."

    Plausible deniability, we bees friends...

    We can only hope, because voting Democrat is NOT an opinion.

    The country wasn't in the sewer before the Bloviator-in-Chief, isn't in the sewer now, and won't likely be in the sewer after the Bloviator moves on.
    Most Democrats want ICE to change and don't support opening the borders. Don't be absurd.
    At this point, Trump is odds on to lose.

    Symbolic of Slick Willie's pair after Hillary finished with him in 1998?

    Why should we be reducing tension when Putin is jacking us up on one side? We should be putting more pressure on Russia until Putin stops.

    No, he gets criticized for doing it backwards, and counterproductively.

    Does Trump get tough with our adversaries and bad actors? No, he cozies up to them.

    He "gets tough" with long-time allies and small, weak countries who aren't likely to fight back.

    He does major damage to longtime alliances and our long-term interests in search of often-illusory minor short-term benefits.

    He thinks starting trade wars with the entire rest of the world is "winning", instead of harmful to everyone. That's not "tough"; it's stupid.

    For most things, it's all about Trump's ego and ignorance. The one semi-adversary he "got tough" on was Iran -- even though Iran was adhering to the denuclearization deal, even though Trump didn't have anything to replace the agreement with, even though we have little direct trade with Iran and everyone else involved -- including Russia -- still support the deal. So Trump pulling out was not only unjustified, it was triply stupid: little effect on Iran, while giving them the right to restart their nuclear program any time they wanted, while alienating the countries whose cooperation is needed to actually put pressure on Iran. Brilliant!

    Trump calls the European Union a "foe" while fist-bumping Turkey's dictator. He talks trash about the British PM and then denies doing so, calling it "fake news" even though the interview was recorded.

    And yet he never seems to talk trash about Putin. What do YOU call someone who viciously attacks our close allies, yet can't bring himself to utter even the mildest criticism of a dictator who hacked our elections, invaded Crimea and Ukraine, and supports several countries -- like Iran and Syria -- that we claim to oppose? Hell, he doesn't just not criticize Putin -- he brushes off Crimea and Ukraine and says Russia should be allowed back into the G-7. That's not "diplomacy". That's doing Putin's bidding.

    Well, you probably thought Hillary was going to win in a landslide and reconstitute the Warren Court by replacing Scalia with a prog.

    You guys picked a fine time to run a unlikeable Hillary who couldn't figure out which states to run in. Trump on the other hand was tireless and he hit the right states over and over and over again!

    How much of the “right states” was based on stolen analytics data fed to him by Russia?

    If there is evidence of that, where are the indictments? If you don't have squat after two years, I'm supposed to believe you will pull it out of your hat, at this late hour? I'd ask you if you believe these foolish fantasies, but, I suspect that you do!

    Further, if the Russians stole this data and fed it to Trump, why wasn't Hillary benefiting from it, if it was her data? mmmmmh!?!?! That poor idiot was campaigning in Iowa and Arizona while she was losing Florida, PA, WI and MI!

    Maybe it's time you got over Hillary and start focusing on whether Trump is doing things that will improve your life or destroy aspects of America that you and all of us actually value.

    So calling out a POTUS who trashed our country is "melodrama" to you!

    To me, it's melodrama to represent the idea that he trashed America.
