Is There A Video Of Chuck Todd From Yesterdays Daily MTP Where He Recites A.....

litany of crap that Trump has pulled from the primaries, through the run-up of the election and now into the presidency.

He went through a list of items - and the point he was making is that Trump got away with all this - that would have sunk many others - and he might just skate by this Comey firing and obstruction of justice like he did all the rest.

I would like to see and hear what Chuck had to say again - and I'm looking for the video.

After The Events Of The Last Few Days - All Of A Sudden The Beer Bash At The WH After AHCA Vote.....

makes the Repugs that participated - slapping backs, high fiving, smiling/laughing and taking selfies - look really, really foolish.

Do you think that the hard cold reality is finally setting in on them that they are cooked in 2018?

Do we have any poll numbers on Trump's favorablity since the Comey firing?

It has got to have dropped to all time historical lows for a sitting president.

MIA - Where's Jarad, Ivanka, Reince & Bannon?....

We saw Trump's B Team this last week: Spicey, Huckabee & Pence - but his A Team seems to be missing in action or really laying low.

Could they be hiding in the bushes too?

Isn't It Possible That Trump Himself Might Not Be Under Investigation......

YET!!!!

What if everybody around him is being investigated and the investigators are probing to gather as much info from the campaign staff and White House staff around Trump - working from the bottom up.

If Trump Really Did Fire Comey Because Of His Handling Of The Hillary E-Mails......

then Trump should call Hillary and apologize to her for his prior support of Comey.

Yeah - that'll happen!!!!!!

Why The Repugs Circle The Wagons Around Trump And Protect Him - My Theory.....

We've seen it countless times when Trump says, tweets or does something stupid that the Repugs come out in support of him and always give him the benefit of the doubt.

One would have thought that this Russian collusion and Comey firing would have been the last straw for them yet we've heard them support Trump through his latest foibles.

Why do they do this? Why don't they cross him and call for a special prosecutor or an independent investigation.

Well here's my theory.


Think about all the inside information that Trump was privy to with respect to the Repug Party. Stuff that he learned during the primaries and stuff he learned - their strategery (a Dubya term) - as he became the nominee and then president.

He's had conversations and been in meetings with all the Intelligensia up and down the Repug Party. His fellow primary contenders. The Chairman of the RNC. Speaker of the House. Majority Leader of the Senate. Senators and Congressmen throughout the Party. Repug Governors. Retired Emeritus Repugs. Repug Think Tanks. Right Wing talking heads up and down the media.

Just think of all the inside information he was able to glean from them. All their dirty little secrets and strategies they use(d) against Obama, Hillary and the Dems.

Think about how he now can use all that inside info against them and blackmail them now.

Trump has them over the barrel? If he goes down or they try to take him down - he'll just spill the beans and take them down with him. Hell - he might even make things up about them and their tactics. He's been known to do that. He might even lie.

And you know what - his supporters (aka the Deplorables) will believe anything that comes out of his mouth and any explanations he gives them.

We've seen that display all through the primaries, election run-up and now as he is president.

Whatever inside info he has - if he uses it - will inflict untold damage unto the Repug Party. Even if he didn't have inside info and said he did and started making crap up - he would be believed by his supporters (which make up a sizable portion of the base of the Repug Party) and he would do further damage to the Party.

Perhaps that is why they circle the wagons around him and give him the benefit of the doubt as he systematically works to destroy our government.

I believe that Trump has the potential to wipe out the Repug Party and all their jobs going forward. They embraced him. They took him into their confidence and we all know that it isn't beneath Trump to use what he learned against them. When backed into a corner - Trump will attack back like a rabid dog. It's his pattern. He'll do anything to save himself or convince himself that nothing is his fault. Everyone else is to blame.

This is why they lie for him to protect him even if it makes each and every one of them that do this personally look bad.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!!!!!
