Orangeutan's JournalWhy would Corker do Trump the courtesy of calling him
before the Senate vote to tell him he was a "yes"?
After their Twitter war, it seems Corker would have nothing but disdain for Trump. I just don't get it. I don't get these f***ing Republicans at all.
Will the Repug's jettison Trump, now that they have their cherished tax cut?
It's been speculated that they were just keeping him around to rubber-stamp the bill.
Does the Donald look better in green . . . .
Or should he stick with orange?

Voters sure do have short memories
Like--48 hours short.
Trump's Gallup numbers peaked (or cratered) at 62-33 two days ago (tying his all-time marks for high disapproval and low approval), shortly after the Flynn plea deal broke. Then yesterday they fell off to 61-34, and today 60-35. Voters are already normalizing this. Same thing happened a month ago with the Manafort indictment. Sadly, I expect in the next week Trump's Gallup ratings will go back to what they have hovered around for months. What will it take to break through voters' obdurate skulls?
My tweets on trump's Twitter feed disappear shortly after I make them
Are they being wiped out, or do they just get shuffled with the thousands of other tweet replies he receives?
What's more, for weeks now none of my tweets on Trump's feed have drawn a single reaction from others, which makes me think they're being wiped.
The other odd thing is, when I go to my home page, it shows I have made 110 tweets, but when I click on that, none of them show up.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Thanks.
Five tips for contacting senators
1) Say your full name. You're not a bot, so don't act like one.
2) Whether phoning or emailing, keep the message short and sweet. Focus on just one objectionable provision of the bill, whether it be Medicare, the deficit, or something else. Make that point strongly, and let someone else hit a different point.
3) Stick to facts--but don't get bogged down in numbers. Where you can, attribute those facts to an authority, such as the JTC or the CBO. Here is a good synopsis of the bill for background to draw from:

4) Contact 5 friends through email or Facebook tonight and urge them also to reach out to senators. And ask them to contact five of their friends to do the same. Exponential organization.
5) Close with an appeal. And be nice. 
Here's an example of the above five points: Senator Lankford, my name is ____ _____. The AARP announced today it opposes this tax bill, warning the bill could lead to billions of dollars in cuts to Medicare. So please, Senator Lankford, stand for Oklahoma seniors! Thank you.
Trump calling out Lauer, others. Is that really smart, Donnie?
Will Trump's hubris come back to bite him in his lard ass? If he keeps spouting off on this topic while pretending he's not far worse than some of the other offenders, hopefully it will enrage even more of his past victims to go public with their accounts and the thing will pick up steam.
Wow. Go big or go home.
"I don't even know the woman."
He also said he didn't even know where the restaurant she described was--a restaurant where he was said to sit in the same booth every night.
Just wow.
Just making it worse for himself.

What Moore will say, sometime tonight
"I am not guilty of these scurrilous accusations, but since my candidacy has become a distraction, I will step aside for the good of the party."
