“He went on: “And we just want their support, because we need support. You see that with what’s happening in Congress. Nobody can get anything through Congress. We need support, so thank you, senator. Senator Heitkamp. Everyone’s saying: What’s she doing up here? But I’ll tell you what: Good woman, and I think we’ll have your support — I hope we’ll have your support. And thank you very much, senator. Thank you for coming up.”
Looks like an ominous threat “I hope we’ll have your support.”
Trump might as well support Heitkamp. The Republicans in the Senate have done him no favors. Not that it would happen, but I would not be flabbergasted if the President switched political parties or at least resigned from the GOP as an independent. It is a Gary Larson world we live in.
Maaybe she has signaled that she wants to switch parties?
The way the republican senate has been treating him?
The do nothing leadership in the house and senate?
The Republican Party is dead ..... let’s form a ‘conservative party’ with some balls.
Maybe she'll switch parties—or maybe President Trump is still sending a message to the GOPe Congress that he's sick and tired of their obstruction of their own party's President.
Anyone who thinks the President Trump is just bungling through these statements naive, to say the least. The GOPe better watch their a$$es, because the times they are a-changin', come 2018. Primary challenges galore, people changing parties (like the WV governor), and so on.
The Revolution is on, and those who choose to stand on the sidelines and obstruct—especially GOPe Swamp Things without an ounce of loyalty or appreciation for the ekectoral benefits that the President provided last November.
President Trump is necessarily taking the long view—and it's a two-term view—with respect to #MAGA and the corrupt Uniparty Swamp. Both #DrainTheSwamp and #MAGA will fail if some of these corrupt Congressional pukes aren't replaced with new, bold blood—statesmen who are willing to think outside the crooked globalist establishment box.
President Donald J. Trump is a Revolutionary in the truest sense of the word, and it's up to us—his army of deplorables—to provide our blood, sweat, tears, and loyalty to ensure that this movement succeeds.
No man is an island. President Trump can't do it alone, and he's not getting much help from the DC Swamp—including that cowardly majority composed of members of his own party!
God Bless President Trump and use him as an instrument of His Divine will. This is the greatest opportunity that has been afforded to the American people in the post-Civil War era, and if we squander it, it'll probably be another 150 years before we get another chance—if ever...
President Trump should tell and list who the pro-Trump politicians/candidates are and who the anti-Trump politicians/candidates are. Also, that would be a good way of separating the RINO Republicans from the Conservative Republicans, and it would make much more of the general public aware of who they are, prior to the primaries and general elections.
Trump is a great president. He wants to get things done, and can afford to appear magnanimous.
If you do not know now,m you never will. Trump is a MAster of the Dog and Pony show of politics.
Good for President Trump!
This will certainly help Heitkamp, but she may have already placed a hold over ND voters, who are not as conservative as their reputation.
When the President visits a state and he’s not on a campaign trip, it’s his job to be cordial to all the local elected officials, regardless of party. And for all that we talk about partisan battles, a huge part of what happens in Washington is non-partisan or bi-partisan or cross-party in character. Perfectly possible for a Democratic Senator to do a good job, while at the same time hoping she’s replaced by a Republican who can do a better job.
Short answer is No She will not win but will lose like 7 or 8 other Democrat senators. Co
Don’t need another party. Dims and gope would love that. Need to continue the takeover of the pub party. Let the remnants run to dim party.
She’s supposed to be the easiest GOP senate pickup in 2018, given that Trump won her state by 36 points.
So I take this as a shot across Mitch’s bow to start cooperating or see Trump muck up some GOP senate races next year.
Again, the overlapping liberal Democrats in Trump’s family and admin must be pleased.
He approves of the swamp more and more every day. He didnt drain it and now it is up to his ears.
I’ve thought - and have said so here a few times - that Trump will pivot and run as a democrat in 2020.
Such a thing might even bring the democrat mainstream back to their senses.
I think Trump is finally being Trump.
For two years he told us he was a man of action. He told us he is a deal maker.
This is what he is doing. I think he did the calculation of what they would end up with after 20 days of getting beat up by the opposition. It likely came out to be about the same deal that he got. And he got Harvey relief as well.
Think about what’s coming in the next few months: Two huge hurricanes, North Korea, and a challenging economy. Look for stories about the collapse of the petro dollar—and that could lead to the dumping of the dollar very quickly.
This is not the time for twiddling his thumbs. This is a precarious time. It is a time to lead—and he is finally doing it.
First of all, North Dakota is a cherry red state. And second, the Democrats there still hate President Trump, and so his endorsement is an “anti-endorsement”.
North Dakota population, around 757,000... there are not many people there, let’s hope they are smart enough to elect the best leaders. I’m not sure how she was elected in the first place. Of course, supposedly, the population has swelled some due to an oil boom. There are mixed signals though on that.
I had heard she wasn’t so liberal either but one of the posts indicate she’s still pretty liberal.
But will he? Who knows?
