CNN asks Americans about Trump after Cohen, Manafort legal troubles. It gets ugly real fast.

CNN recently asked a wide-range of Americans living in northeast Pennsylvania — Republicans, Democrats, and independents — for their opinions on President Donald Trump following the legal developments surrounding Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen, two men deeply tied to the president.

It’s clear the segment did not go as CNN planned.

When CNN correspondent Jason Carroll asked residents in Luzerne County — which supported Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, but flipped to support Donald Trump in 2016 — for their thoughts on the president following this week’s news, he was met with reactions that will shock east coast elites.

Anne Marie Lenahan, a registered Democrat who voted for Obama then supported Trump, told Carroll she is able to overlook Trump’s moral failings. However, she added one caveat: She said it would not “be good” if money used to cover up Trump’s alleged infidelity came from “campaign funds.”

“However, I would still vote for him again,” she said.

The Leftist Media is a parody of itself.

President Trump’s alleged indiscretions took place years/decade before he became POTUS. He has brought nothing but Honor and Dignity to the White House.

Sitting here in my wheelchair in my manufactured home I could raise more for 2020 than Trump spent hushing up the two hookers. It’s a drop in the bucket.

You can say that just about any issues. That one man one vots works at all is a wonder.

Who said it works? It would take a book to describe everything that went wrong for the nation as a result of the last five Democrat Presidencies.

Major world wide blunders and horrible losses of life as well as the creation of vast amounts of misery world wide was the consequence of letting people like Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama occupy that office.

If you read deeper into the history of the Kennedy family, you quickly discover that they are corrupt pieces of sh*t who deserved far worse in life than what they got.

Joe Senior was just a corrupt organized crime @$$hole, and the entire lot of them were immoral to a degree that many would find hard to imagine. Joe Kennedy used to have prostitutes, and when he was done with them, he would ask his sons if they wanted any of them.

They were an absolutely sick and disgusting family.

“And they see Cohen as a shyster NYC lawyer who only worked for Trump because he got lost on his way to a job interview at the Clinton campaign headquarters in Brooklyn.”

Good one. Badda-bing! Badda-boom!

Re-read your post #29, you definitely have Manafort convicted for essentially “something, but I am not sure what... yet”.

Which is the left-wing narrative that enables their support of the egregiously political Mueller prosecutions, precisely.

The reality:

1) There is no evidence whatsoever that the Manafort-Trump relationship was anything but above-board.

2) There is no reason to believe that any prosecution of Manafort would have occurred in the absence of a Manafort-Trump relationship.

These two facts, considered together, make a Manafort pardon far less than the political suicide note that it is being made out to be.

"Regardless of Manafort’s virtue, he was prosecuted exclusively on the basis of his above-board and perfectly lawful and ethical relationship to Trump."

From Atlas Shrugged":
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris.
"We want them to be broken. [...] We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. "

“It is now clear to many that dims do and did hold down our nation, Trump has reversed that and it is still getting better”

indeed. We simply don’t are about fake news about fake scandals ... We Trump supporters quit listening to the lying leftist fake stream enemedia years ago because we know they’re nothing but a bunch of lying, anti-Trump propagandists promoting the Democrat Party ... so of course we don’t care what bullshit the lying leftist fake stream enemedia is spewing ..

the lying leftist fake stream enemedia has finally reaped what’s it been sowing for the last three years: namely complete lost of all credibility; no one who’s truly been paying attention listens to them anymore ... they can cry wolf falsely only so many times until no one believes them anymore ... and that time has finally arrived for the lying leftist fake stream enemedia: they’ve cried wolf hundreds of times every day for three years now and every speck of their credibility is gone forever and can never be recovered ... ever ...
