“it would take a Constitutional Amendment to change the current structure and two-thirds majority of states would never ratify it”

Make that 3/4 of the States.

Whether Trump does another thing in his entire life, he’s already accomplished a great feat. He’s exposed Liberals and their media as the pond scum they really are.

I agree with you about this article and its fundamental point.

While I do think Trump should maybe learn that he doesn’t have to respond to absolutely everything, the authors are urging the useless George Bush strategy on him. Bush was apologetic and cringing, relied entirely too much on other people (and was betrayed by them virtually every time), and essentially let the Dems and the left walk all over him. He never defended himself even in the mildest terms - and that just emboldened them to get more and more outrageous in their claims and threats.

Post #3 - very true. The Democrats have embraced Satanic thoughts, actions, and treacherous deeds for decades now. Their ultimate enemy is not Trump, patriarchy, conservatism, or the white middle class. Their ultimate enemy is God Himself. They are in rebellion against the Almighty.

The article is mis-titled. It does not really show the danger of de-legitimizing President Trump.

Trump will make his own record as President. He will overcome democrat's fake news.

But the interesting point is that BOTH RUSSIA AND THE DEMOCRATS attempted to subvert the election with misinformation. If you thought democrats were "better than that" you are dead wrong. The CIA is no better than it's Russian counterpart. It may be time to revise the way we make "intelligence"for the sake of American values.

The danger in fake news is that the attempt to subvert the election results using intelligence dirty tricks will be America's CIA heritage for years to come. Sad.

Midterm Senate Map a Democrat Nightmare
Democrats may be in for long drought, facing slew of 2018 contests in deep red states

Despite near-instant media prognostications the GOP could lose its slim majority in the U.S. Senate come the 2018 midterm elections, it is actually Democrats who face an uphill climb.

They’ve explicitly stated that in their most recent nominating conventions.

When the media decided they would criticize every single thing Trump does, no matter what it might be, they gave him carte blanche. Why even try to do what the left and media wants if you’re going to be ripped apart for doing it? Might as well do what you want and what’s right since the howling will be the same either way.

Trying to please the media is 180 degrees off course, we finally figured that out. The more heads exploding the better!

There is no danger for Democrats.

Their attempts at delegitimizing Mr. Trump’s presidency brings them closer to undermining completely the foundations of the United States and making the leftist revolution a reality.

IMHO

Without California’s Clinton numbers, Trump had the majority of the popular vote.

One state should not be able to overpower the collective will of 49 other states.

I haven’t heard anyone mention it but in his interview he said that basically okay, we’ll keep the press room at the white house but its too small and they will be clamoring for a bigger room. That means he’s going to rotate the press in and out and the famous front row is no longer going to CNNMSNBCABCCBSFOX. Should be fun to watch.
