day. Who's next? If I were Congress, and just after being threatened w/ heads on a pike if they voted otherwise, I would be nervous. In a way, the republicans deserve everything they got coming to them, they did bring it on.

The MSM gave Trump thousands of free hours of campaign coverage while they basically ignored the other two non-career politician GOP candidates named Ben Carson and Carlie Fiorini. Those thousands of hours gave him all the legitimacy he needed when, had they just given him as much coverage as the other two aforementioned candidates, he would have never sniffed 50% in any primary otherwise.

Folks, the MSM elected Trump and they ARE going to do it again unless Democrat voters 1)ignore them and 2)go out in force to vote him out.

Now he’s rambling again on and on? The good news I think is most people have made up their mind about him and a lot are now tuning him out as demonstrated by the SOTU ratings
