on live TV, zero voters he loses.

The rules do not apply to republicans, and democrats cant put their arm on a waist or they will be run out of town.

I wish I could see a way to survive this, I dont. Maybe, I will hope.

6. Republicans Are Not Complaining

Interestingly, Republicans are not complaining about any of this. We likely remember that President Obama could not buy a hamburger without Republicans complaining that he was increasing the debt. As far as I remember President Obama took two vacations a year. That always caused Republicans to have heart attacks. They were always complaining about how much it was costing the country and how it proved Obama was lazy. Now Donald Trump is rarely at the White House, but that is okay because the job is hard. I guess Trump's supporters will not make the excuse that at least Trump is giving they their money back through tax cuts. However, we know the real reason so many Republicans were so upset with President Obama going on vacation twice a year, but have no problem with Trump never being at the White House and doing very little other than eating, drinking, and playing golf. One of them is white and one of them is black.
