62. There are few things that I have in common with Meryl Streep

Tue Jan 10, 2017, 09:03 AM

Jan 2017

but the most important thing is that neither she nor I will be convinced of Trump in a positive light. He is not fooling me or many other people. Kellyanne is not going to get anywhere either.

The one person I keep wanting to see from campaign time is the Rev. Faith Green-Timmons of Detroit. He came to speak at her church about water issues and he started maligning Hillary. The good reverend made him cower like a puppy, she politely but firmly shut him down. The whole country needs her.

Thanks for making this an OP... damn "gaslighting" just seems to fit. Cha Jan 2017 #52

It does fit. The aim of the gaslighter is to make the target lose confidence mnhtnbb Jan 2017 #54
