“America will never buy their act.”
They are ensuring that President Trump will be re-elected with a majority in both houses!
House Democrats appeared unified in their votes this week but I've spent the day talking to a bunch of them and many are extremely frustrated. All agree POTUS's tweets needed to be condemned; they spoke under condition of anonymity so they could be candid. (Thread) — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 17, 2019
2/ "The president won this one," said House Dem 1 of the Trump v Squad (AOC, Tlaib, Omar & Pressley) showdown. "What the president has done is politically brilliant. Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks and the president has now identified the entire party with them."
3/ Another issue: what are Dems focused on? Is it what will help the class of 2018 (largely more moderate than the Squad) get reelected? Dem Rep 2: "The president's words and actions speak for themselves. We need to focus on the issues that got them here: jobs, health care..."
4/ "...instead of the issues the president brings up deliberately. Anything that takes away from bread and butter issues is playing into his hands."5/ Other House Democrats are conflicted about having to defend the Squad given things they've said and done. House Dems cited: talk of supporting challengers to incumbent Dems in primaries, AOC's use of the term "concentration camps," anti-Semitic comments by Tlaib & Omar.
6/ This perceived selective outrage rankled some Dems. "Everybody was completely outraged by what the president said," said House Dem 3, "and everybody thought it was appropriate to criticize him...
7/ "...but this was the *first* time the House has taken action to criticize him in any way, We couldn't even bring ourselves to have a resolution exclusively condemning anti-Semitism uttered by one of those members" -- Omar -- "but we leapt to their defense here."
8/ A few House Dems noted that Omar and Tlaib just introduced a resolution affirming the right of Americans to boycott, perceived as an expression of support for the anti-Israel BDS (boycott, divest, and sanction) movement that most House Dems oppose.
9/ "So we'll hear a tirade of attacks on Israel from the same group," said House Dem 3. "Hopefully they won't be anti Semitic." House Dem 4 also brought up that bill coming "from someone with a history of anti-Semitism" -- Omar -- "So yeah it’s challenging."
10/ House Dem 4 recalls that "less than 2 weeks ago when members of our caucus were trying to support funds for children at the border," the Squad was arguing that "we're pro-putting kids in cages, we're against human rights. So there’s frustration."
11/ Others noted that this week the House Democratic Caucus stood by a group that is not perceived as standing by them. "I can't tell you the number of Members who are angry and annoyed about them criticizing us," said House Dem 3.
12/ AOC, in particular "gives her chief of staff license to get candidates to run against her colleagues and to go after them on social media. It makes people's skin crawl," said House Dem 3. House Dem 4 summed it up: "We were there for them; they should stop attacking us."
I thought PDJT was stupid, a dunce, a fool, a moron. That’s what the MSM has been saying since the summer of 2015.
Sounds to me like Tapper is fishing for a new employer as CNN continues to sink.
After you’ve played a hundred rounds of poker (losing all), you eventually realize the opponent faking you out, and rattling your cage....that they are smarter than you are at the game. This has taken 2.5 years, but maybe a small group of them are starting to realize the cat-and-laser tactics of Trump.

Saikat Charkrabarti has successfully staged a coup within the Democrat Party.
AOC, in particular “gives her chief of staff license to get candidates to run against her colleagues and to go after them on social media. It makes people’s skin crawl,” said House Dem 3. House Dem 4 summed it up: “We were there for them; they should stop attacking us.”

AOC is the Dems own Frankenstein’s monster.

Beah cry me a river, idiots.
Saikat Chakrabarti, who wears Nazi T-shirts.
Sometimes you just gotta call a Commie Ho a Commie Ho
How many times did we have to sit back and hold our tongues while this vile creature attacked from within -

Guts has nothing to do with it: Tapper is helping Pelosi try to keep the Democrats from going over the cliff with the Jihad Squad.
that's because Trump is playing inter-dimensional chess..
