Politics Hillary Clinton Chose to Shield a Top Adviser Accused of Harassment in 2008

No. If you are talking popularity contest, she won that one. It was the one that matters, the electoral college, that she lost.

He didn't win the popularity contest either. It's a trend.

Well, then I guess congratulations are in order. The current team in office is almost 100% stupid, not-talented, and lazy. Mission accomplished.

She also was outed in her own emails and speeches saying she didn't believe in her platform. That there are things she says in public and things she actually believes. Who knows what she actually believes?

This was her position right up until she read the polling data on how LGBT would vote:



"I believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman. I have had occasion in my life to defend marriage, to stand up for marriage, to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage. So I take umbrage at anyone who might suggest that those of us who worry about amending the Constitution are less committed to the sanctity of marriage, or to the fundamental bedrock principle that it exists between a man and a woman, going back into the midst of history as one of the founding, foundational institutions of history and humanity and civilization, and that its primary, principal role during those millennia has been the raising and socializing of children for the society into which they are to become adults."

 

See, that's what I mean. For as much as you revile them, the National Security team, led by Gen Mattis, are doing good things. Somehow the tax bill got drafted and, even more astounding, made it through Congress. The budget may or may not get there. I understand if someone doesn't like the legislation (I get it, I didn't like ACA), but you can't deny that a) he's doing what he said he wanted to do and b) doesn't care if people don't like it. And he doesn't, by and large, have to rely upon Executive Orders to do so.

 

Ok... I have no reason to criticize Mattis. But there are a lot more people in Trump's adminstration than Mattis.

Other than the tax bill, everything he's done has been by executive orders. Well, maybe a couple of post offices got named, but the tax bill is the only major legislation. So I'm not sure what you mean...

When you're wrong, you're wrong.

Going to triple down on that?

 

Oh, wait, I forgot one major legislative accomplishment - the Russia sanctions. My bad.

So you did choose to triple down.

Going to go for quadruple down?

 

I'll give you a clue. Most of what he's accomplished had nothing to do with executive orders.

Pulling out of the Paris Climate scam wasn't an executive order. Not signing TPP is another example.

Your unelected (but appointed) government appointees trimming the federal registry of thousands of regulations isn't an executive order (nor were the implementation of those regulations by Obama's people).

Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to SCOTUS. That was a huge thing and done by vote of congress.

He's had more judges confirmed (also congressional votes) to the federal bench than any president in history (or maybe since FDR).
