Democrats don’t care about intent. Democrats care about made-up scandals, and President Trump just played into their hands.
Of course the Democrats don't care about intent. Fortunately, they're not in charge, and the majority of this country does care about intent. But nothing the President has done here has "played into their hands". That's just hysteria.
This was a mistake, and if you cannot see it, you are BLIND.
What precisely was a mistake? The President's response? BALDERDASH.
What Sessions did was a mistake, of course. But it was a relatively minor one. People make mistakes all the time, and this one is a NOTHINGBURGER.
If you expect no mistakes to be made by this administration, you are living in La-La Land. When one does happen, it doesn't mean the sky is falling—certainly not in this case.
When dealt a bad hand, the administration has to respond as best it can. That's what it just did, IMHO, second guesses notwithstanding.
Everything the President said in his response makes perfect sense to me, and I'm glad he said it.
There's no way to magically take this whole incident and "make it didn't happen", so the admin dealt with it in a reasonable manner. What else do you expect, if not that?
You're going to need lots of Tums if you don't expect this kind of crap every single day from the Media, whether it be for big mistakes, small mistakes, or even no mistakes (on days when there are none).
There's absolutely no justification for the abject hand-wringing that I'm seeing, and that's what is playing into the hands of the Enemy more than anything else.
This administration is less than a month and a half old, for God's sake!
I was very precise.
I cited the one sentence I take issue with, in an otherwise-flawless statement.
YOU DO NOT CONCEDE ONE SINGLE PICOMETER WITH THE LEFT. They are already making things up out of whole cloth, so when you say “He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional," you have just conceded ground.
You can call it hand-wringing and hysteria all you want.
I call it, calling out some bad tactics.
I call it being a realist.
Believe what you will; I have my opinions about this, and I hope the President operates without concession of a single MICROpoint from now on. In this environment, where the press lies and twists things beyond all recognition, YOU DO NOT HAND THEM A FREE CONCESSION.
“There’s absolutely no justification for the abject hand-wringing that I’m seeing, and that’s what is playing into the hands of the Enemy more than anything else.
This administration is less than a month and a half old, for God’s sake!”
Agree. Don’t continue to feed the emotional hysterics of the left. The win is in. We will act like winners.
