    I think we should all just pause and think for a second about how glorious it is that our President is in a predicament with a porn star and his VP Pence is hell bent on the sanctity of marriage between man and woman (not gays). I bet Mrs Pence loves Trumpy. How on earth all the evangelicals are SO happy with Trump is hypocrisy at its peak

    The whole scenario plays out. Meuller says Pence did nothing wrong and he becomes president.

    Couple weeks later there's a leak about something Pence did and Meuller is reappointed. Rinse and repeat

    I agree. It is wishful thinking. Though I absolutely do not want Pence. He'd get pretty much whatever he wanted out of congress, and I don't think there's much of his agenda I could agree with.

    There is nothing pretty much I agree with. But as much as i don’t agree with him at least I know he can string together complete sentences.

    Pence was a governor and former member of congress. I think he knows how to pull the strings as president to get things done. He has a willing majority in both the house and senate to do some major damage on the social front. I would be afraid that is what his agenda would be.

    Trump is a nationalist, and his policies toward immigrants and immigration are just awful and downright scary to me. But I find he's more moderate than hard right wing republicans, otherwise, on social issues. Don't get me wrong, I think Trump feels he has to let republicans have their way on some things - and that's bad, too.

    They’re both garbage. But if miraculously today Trump was ousted and Pence took over I think he’d lose the next election. But there are millions and millions who vote for Trump because they are in awe of him because he’s famous. He can do no wrong. He’s in the middle of a dispute with a goddamn porn star and IT DOESNT MATTER.

    Maybe because candidate Trump said stuff like this:

    “Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

    Sadly, I think conservative voters are the majority, regardless of party registration. Independents definitely lean republican when it comes time to vote.

    I'm not so sure Trump will be reelected, unless democrats keep on doing what won it for him the first time. Out of touch, agenda enacted didn't work all that well, abuse of governmental power (think NSA spying, spying on congress, arrests of reporters, spying on world leaders, and lots more). Running against Trump isn't going to do it - as you say, he's a rock star (as was Obama).

    Go do some homework. And if you think Trump is a smart man that says as much about you as it does about him.

    Well actually I don't think you answered the question at all. I hardly think you even thought of me before you made the silly post. So let me ask it again, perhaps with more clarity.

    Why on earth would a smart man post a sentence like this one?

    Why would I write that?
    Because he has written and said so many things that are grammatically incorrect that you can’t just write it off as a mistake. He’s consistently said and written/tweeted stupid things.
    Is this making sense to you?

    Ok then. But his style has been apparent to everyone for quite sometime now. Are you just noticing the style? Or want everyone else to notice you notice?

    The noobs want to rehash the last year and a half so we have to suffer through it again.

    We're at the "Denny loves Trump' stage.

    Tedious at best

    I suspect it was virtue signaling.
