Fake news. Trump makes up his own mind and isn’t being fed bad info by Javanka
great post
President has a real job on his hands with the GOPe; trying to get these spineless little worms fed through a soda straw. These pathetic losers will vote against his efforts at the slightest whim. With him giving the impression that he is siding with the establishment chosen one, he has eluded their attempts to put up a phony excuse that they can use to wiggle through the swamp.
The recent effort to repeal Obamacare has the same three stooges balking at Trump’s efforts. President Trump will work his magic on them. Their actions are jeopardizing the Senate majority in 2018. There needs to be some chalk talk with them very soon. With them on board, we will see if getting the 50 vote majority rule will get the thing done next year. If they don’t get on board, they have hell to pay.
The tax reform is another matter. It can happen in this session if McConnell gets his act together.
Meanwhile, President Trump’s patronizing effort to coddle the GOPe with Luther Strange’s endorsement had no effect. Roy Moore has won the run-off and goes to the general election against Democrat Doug Jones in December. Cheers to Roy Moore!
How is it that so many people get fooled by appearances...
limited horizons.
That’s what you said about Obama.

Prove it.
Oh, right, you can’t.
Get over the primaries, sore loser. It’s been 18 months; (or 10.5 if you were one of the ‘true conservatives’ who wanted Hillary to win) you can stop throwing tantrums now.
I’m of the opinion that it really doesn’t matter who we send to D.C. anymore. The fed govt is so large and corrupt that most politicians get assimilated to the borg upon arrival. Most politicians are lowlife scumbags to start with which makes that task much easier.
A 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state that needs to be brought to justice and radically reduced by whatever means necessary.
If Trump can’t bring it to heel, it’s over.
Very interesting about the corrupt Luther Strange. Thanks for posting all of that.
Now, the question remaining is WHY wasn’t Trump made aware of all this before he stumped for Strange?
Trump should really stay out of the primaries and support the candidates he believes he can work with, and he wouldn’t have to delete tweets.
Infrastructure spending is not socialism.
This monster that has grown out of the DC Swamp must be killed. This is not the functional model we need for the problem-solving tasks that our nation requires. These politicians have been diverted to activities for their own aggrandizement rather than tasks focused on the job we sent them to Washington to perform. They will push America into a totalitarian system if we let them. How we stop it will be the big task for the American voter.
Looks like Trump is the only one that knew it would be politically untenable to go against Strange and that if he did so and Moore lost, he would have a recalcitrant Strange - who may only be voting with him all the way because he wanted the spot to become permanent -and it would have been a double loss if Strange won. Now it is a double win that Moore won (if Alabama can seat him - gonna donate more to him myself) because Trump didn’t do the political no-no in this situation and is free to 100% support Moore from here on out. The egg is on McConnell’s face instead of Trump’s....
The Manhattan lib Jared was listed as pushing Strange posted in a article last night .
Kelly has isolated him probably based on Javanka orders .
These three libs / swamp monsters are moving on Amnesty !
They knew Moore was not on board the cheap labor express and wanted him gone.
I pray that Trump does indeed make up his own mind. But exactly HOW do you know what information Jared and Ivanka are giving Trump?
I don’t claim to know. I do know the ideas that Ivanka has publicly stated such as increased government involvement in maternity leave and child care would further the debt. I also know that “9/11” Jamie Gorelick is their “ethics” attorney and that Hillary supporter Dina Powell is in the WH thanks to them. Bad choices.
I think he was aware. Cliff Sims, the guy who blew open the story on the Gov. Bentley sex tapes (which led to his ouster, even though Big Luther sandbagged the investigation so he could get the senate appointment), worked on the Trump campaign.
Cliff is now serving in the White House as assistant to the president and assistant comms director!

Steve Bannon knows this. So all this malarkey about Trump getting bad advice on Luther is baloney.
If I know even the modicum of info that I know, we can take it to the bank that the president knows a 1000 times that.
My personal opinion is that for the GOP on a national stage, Luther Strange was more palatable than Judge Roy Moore.
Roy Moore talks about Jesus. He went to the mat and lost his job over the Ten Commandments. He stonewalled sodomite marriage in Alabama.
Roy Moore is everything the GOPe hates.
If Luther had done the right thing when he had the chance (instead of backing off the Gov. Bentley investigation), Luther could have beaten Moore because the people of Alabama general liked and respected Big Luther. I personally had a high level of respect for him for going after the gambling interests so fiercely.
But once he jumped over into helping Gov. Bentley escape justice, the people of Alabama decided to give Big Luther the boot.
And I’m not sad about that.
So the top political advisor doesn’t know how Trump got political advice?
That’s kind of a problem, no?
Yep Trump traded support for Strange to Mitch for something. It’s called politics.
“So the top political advisor doesn’t know how Trump got political advice?”
“That’s kind of a problem, no?”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You weren’t specific as to which “top political advisor” you are referring to. So I am left to assume (yes - assume) you are referring to Bannon.
So my response will be with respect to that assumption.
It is my take that Bannon is making this question in a rhetorical manner and not directly.
Bannon assumes that people would know that “Trump got political advice” from GOPe, and especially McConnell. And this would be a very correct assumption by Bannon.
As we see everywhere, the assumption is that the bad political advice is McConnell and the GOPe and that Trump was just following them. Articles, comments, etc., are about this assumption.
So, again, Bannon is challenging POTUS DJT to reflect on “how Trump got political advice?” And to take appropriate measures against the GOPe and deep state.
Bannon knows better.
Strange was a 100% Trump voter-—health care, Gorsuch, judges, health care AGAIN.
He is voting for THREE MORE MONTHS.
It is both silly & bad politics to slap a guy who has given you all these votes because you don’t know what he “MIGHT” do in the future. Not to mention Trump ALREADY HAD Moore’s support.
If you’re a pro football team-—say the Bucs with a very average Trent Dilfer at QB-—and he is having a good year, but you have the rights to draft Peyton Manning, I don’t care how good you “think” Manning will be, as long as you have games this season to play, you don’t even act like he’s there cuz for right now you have Dilfer & YOU STILL NEED Dilfer..
Only you could have a problem with Moore’s victory. Bug off Debbie Downer. Even Trump is singing praise for Moore this morning.
