His core support will still vote for him so the GOP aren't really under any pressure except for what their moral compass dictates. And that means we're relying on the Republicans' ability and willingness to do the right thing and put the law above their own interests. Let's not hold our collective breath just yet. These expose (sp) have little effect on the republican voter or the party. It was just one snap shot from a quick interview poll the other day but one respondent probably summed up the Trump voter mentality - 'it's left liberal hysteria' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Something that should not surprise us. Trump's approval rating has gone up by about 1.5% in September. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpie Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Much talk about next week starting Impeachment Hearings and suggestions who will be called. Barr, Pompeo, and others including everyones top choice as their lawyer Rudy Giulliani. I cannot wait to hear what they are going to say about Trump, of course there is a small possiblity that they will not appear, if they do they will say I cannot answer that is Privileged, Lawyer client privilege, cannot answer . The Dems will go to Court to force testimony and surprisingly a Republican majority Court some of whom Trump appointed will uphold their right to silence. One lives in hope but having lived in an environment of you know, andI know, but try and prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just given me an idea, if Trump was medically stated to have a stress induced because of the allegations he has been subjected to by the big bad Democrats could he resign because of non physchotic medical reasons, have nothing proved against him and be adjudged not fit to answer to any of the crimes he has been alleged to have commited. he is out and could spin that he is still the greatest president there has ever been.

Sidelight Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Impeachment the latest tumble of a tainted and corrupt Democratic dice.

"Unable to win at the motion of the voters". That is incorrect. As you no doubt recall, Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump, and it was only through an archaic system called the Electoral College that handed Trump the victory. "Having failed with undoubted success with their Russian delusional illusion". tbh, I'm not sure what "failed with undoubted success" means. It sounds like an oxymoron. If you're referring to the Russian interference in the 2016 election, that's not an illusion. All American intelligence agencies are agreed that the Russians interfered to the benefit of Trump. It's Trump and his acolytes who refuse to acknowledge the truth. Don't bet on a Trump landslide victory in 2020. The impeachment exercise will fail because the Republicans in the Senate will circle the wagons to defend their man. But between now and election day, a lot of dirt will be revealed on how Trump operates, and how he and his family are benefiting from his presidency, and how he has broken the law on numerous occasions. And that will possibly swing enough voters away from Trump to deliver a Democrat victory. Trump's presidency has been nothing but three years of one scandal after another, while America's stature in the world has diminished ... the very opposite on MAGA. And that isn't an illusion either.

Sharpie Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Just watched CNN, they had the normal Breaking News announcement. Some time ago at a Homeland Security discussion on illegal immigration Trump suggested that if any of these people threw stones at any officials the army should shoot them. He was told this was not allowed, so he suggested that they shoot them in the legs, also not allowed. He wanted a wall but outside of the wall he wanted a ditch dug and filled with water, he then wanted snakes or alligators placed in the water. On the new wall he wanted extremely sharp spikes capable of impaling a person. He referred to his previous Homeland Secretary as Honey and Sweetheart in the conversation which was interspersed with obscenities. Is there one of the Trump apologists who can please assure me that they are sure that this man they support is not mentally damaged.

I am not sure he is going to last long enough to be Impeached. There are mnore Republicans speaking against him, and his mental condition, read Justin Z's post is declining rapidly.

Maple Leaf Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I don't think much has changed with Trump. There have been questions about his mental stability going back to his campaign speeches in 2016. There have been books published since he became President that make it clear that he's not the full shilling. Another thing that hasn't changed is that the Republicans in the Senate will defend him through thick and thin. Trump is the Republican's best bet for victory in 2020 and they will downplay all his buffoonery, and his crimes, to get him re-elected.

Sharpie Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I just watched the press conference with Trump and The Finnish leader. I have had occasions in life when I have interviewed accused and realised that they were not living in reality. Today I watched a man the President of the United States speak in the same manner. He has no relationship with reality, lies without conscience and is rude beyond help. Even his guest at one point gently rebuked him when he started answering a question that had been posed to he the guest. Trump has lost all rationale, what I see is a man who frighteningly actually believes some of the things he is saying. I cannot see how it can be assessed by an averagely intelligent person that the President is not ill, his mind has gone and the stress he is under is making it worse. If his loyal followers are truly loyal they would advise him to seek help at the least, and resign and get out of it all at the most. It is a sad time for the people of the United States, also for the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Trump is really howling at the moon now, lashing out at everyone. He is a dangerously unstable and is making a mockery of the presidency, a position which should be a thing of pride to all American citizens. It is up to the Democrats to come up a challenger with no baggage that can wipe the floor with trump and then the world can breathe a sigh of relief and take US politics seriously again.
