Sharyl Attkisson’s Full Measure Unauthorized minors crossing the U.S. southern border with Mexico are now facing dangers in America worse than those they fled. Full Measure investigates.
Didn’t Graham and Bush pledge to support the GOP nominee regardless of who it was? They lied in front of the whole country.
Sorry but Flake is appropriately named and needs to be primaried.
On NBC, the question is, "Is the Republican party wigging out?" LOL. It is shining light on specific objectors to Trump.
Wallace is asking when Trump will change all of his positions to satisfy Ryan?
Now Wallace is asking what Hillary done to hurt Clinton’s women? Are you kidding? Is he an idiot?
Now Wallace is defending Elizabeth Warren. Poor little Warren and the supposed war on women.
Boy, Chris Wallace is doing his best to defend Hillary as he goes after Trump. Is Chris on Hillary’s payroll?
That excuse is rather old at this point and if you can't take a little criticism by dems who lie about everything there is than maybe its time to get the heck out of politics.
Truth will rear is head if you stay the course.
Racism has not been a problem in our party in years, and before that it was confined to the dems not us. It was only reseurected by the Axelrod types who are desperate for traction from somewhere anywhere since they have nada to run on, and the race card seemed to work so they keep playing it.
If we fall for it its on us.
Now criticizing Trump is not going to self fund a billion dollar race. Poor Fox Snooze lost the race.
If Romney and others continue to split the GOP, the resentment will turn towards them. Hate is like a boomerang, often coming back to haunt the very person who hates. Romney had his chance to beat Obama and blew it.
The county has suffered because of McCain and Romney’s low energy campaign. Trump has more energy working around the clock to defeat his opponents. We do not need more lazy candidates including Paul Ryan who is not ready. Maybe we are not ready for him either.
Not for the first time.
On ABC, Trump says he's willing to meet with Ryan and see what he wants. Interview between Trump and Stephanopolis is heavily edited.
Trump says he doesn;t think it is necessary for the party to be unified. Trump will do what he has to do, we (the US presumably) need to have fair trade, Trump has to stay true to his principles.
Stephanoplis points out that Hillary is playing the women's car, then plays a Trump snippet, then Obama playing the woman card for Hillary. Trump's reaction, he won with women, men, educated, not so highly educated. says about Hillary, the only thing she has is the women's card. Talks about making peace with Megyn Kelly on her initiative. He is not worried about the tapes of Trump on Howard Stern coming out. Says that what politicians say behind the scenes is much worse thatn whatever Trump says in jest.
Take at look at her husband, and how do you thing he talks about women? Stephy says shouldn;t Bill be off the table, if Melania is? Trump says it depends on his involvment in the campaign. Concludes that Bill Clinton is fair game. Plays clips of Trump talking about Bill clinton, worst abuser of women in the history of politics, and Hillary hurt many women.
In contrast, Melania is just a home-maker. Breaks to panel ... I'm chanel surfing.
Exactly you would think that the Donald would serve as an example to pubbies yearning to be heard to come out of their self imposed shell and tell it like it is. But so far not too many copying his style.It does take guts,self worth a managerial style and self confidence.Not many politicos steeped in these traits.
The politics of personal destruction is all you have when you have nothing else to offer. If not for hatred the Dem Party would not exist.
Pretty close,I can’t imagine embracing a party that has absolutely nothing to run on.
I look at it more as a function of choosing platforms. Romney and a host of others are trans-nationalists, they will always object to a nationalist platform. The split exists and cannot be reconciled. No hard feelings, one side or the other will get the levers of power.
I see the split as a good thing, and so does Trump. he does not think uniting the current membership of the party is necessary
Stephanoplis is a Clinton operative at work on ABC. He owes the Clintons for his career.
Hillary has numerous skeletons in her closet. They should be exposed over and over again. Does Hillary have the energy to compete for the next 6 months? She can play dirty politics but she is playing with matches. She may be burned by Bernie as while as Trump.
You ask if Wallace is an idiot, then give reasons why he’s gone past that state into gibbering Beckaholism.
...a whole bunch of elites like Wallace are watching their Own Personal Ricebowl about to get knocked over and spilled and JMHO we ain’t even begun to see the panic.
Of course Bill should be off the table when it he hurts Hillary and since when has Trump’s family been off the table? It was ok when Cruz made an ad with her in a suggestive pose.
Now Hume is calling Ryan a True Blue conservative and Trump is not. Too bad Hume is not the least bit conservative and he judges who is and who is not.
Tell Sessions, Palin and Sheriff Joe he is a lib Brit.
He says in 2012 as a businessman he is not looking to get in a fight with a politician, he wants to get along with them, of course he won't be critical. Says Hillary has in fact not done a good job, look at Libya, Benghazi.
Chuck Todd wants the tax returns. Trumps pledges to release them when the audit concludes. Hahahah. That puts Obama in a box, does he want to use the IRS to go after Trump, or not?
Now Brit goes the the phony Rove polls and says Trump has no chance unless he becomes a Rino like Ryan. No, Trump just and is having the biggest win in history so he calls the shots not the losers.
Quote:
“Quote from Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson:
The last two presidential cycles we were told John McCain was a conservative. His conservative review score card is a 37%.
We were told Mitt Romney was a conservative and he was pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-adoption, gave us Obamacare.
And we were told to hold our noses and vote for the sake of the party. These same people are now telling us that because their guy didn’t win, they want to hurt the party.
The issue here isn’t about Donald Trump — if you can’t hold yourself to the standard you hold everyone else to, the problem is with you.”
Nothing further needs to be said.
