“That should count for something.”
It doesn’t. I think for Miss Lindsey it’s a case of “keep your friends close and your eneies closer”. If he can intrude on Trump’s inner circle it’s easier to do damage - political espionage. His relationship with McCain always will be most important.
Do you have any examples of that ever working? Trump just had 4 years of keeping his enemies much closer than anyone else. How did that work out for him/us?
The Senate is a tough nut for Trump (and us).
It was designed by our Founders as an oligarchical institution- to an extent.
Mitch and Graham’s internationalist donors are going to have to compromise with Trump’s American voters though.
The House is a more amenable institution.
Unlike the do nothing weasel politicians who've been making bad country killing decisions for 35+ years now...Right?
Btw, Trump will meet face to face with just about anyone. He never backs down. He's met with all kinds of weasel political posers and worse. You have not been paying attention.
“Maybe Graham is angling for that job. “
Insightful.
His refusal to meet with Nimrata Hayley was a good sign, and then this happens...
Who knew the swamp was as big as the Great Lakes and 5 miles deep? Trump was totally surrounded by spooks, backstabbers, rats and turn coats of every political stripe, both parties and he still made America great again.
You don’t seem to have a clue about any of this.
Nikki Haley is out of office so she has no influence. Linda is still in the Senate so she has influence.
True. I was thrilled when he dissed Nimrata. I hope she’s happy that she turned on Trump when she did. What did she THINK would happen — that he’d forget? She should’ve read his books, especially the parts about loyalty.
“You don’t seem to have a clue about any of this.”
Since that has nothing to do with my post, I guess I’m not the clueless one.
Mitch and Graham’s internationalist donors are going to have to compromise with Trump’s American voters though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They have no intention of compromising with us, they mean to crush us, even if it takes electing Democrats to do it.
We should return the favor.
Trump is just as silo’d in his own cultural bubble as Deep State politicians in DC are. He keeps looking for a point man to run his business, but keeps picking enemies.
Where the Hell is Bannon?
Trump can make them.
I know you think Trump a fool.
I don’t.
That’s about all we have to say to each pother isn’t it?
BS. You’re as much as a Trump supporter as Comey is.
Graham? Really? Does Trump never learn? Step away from the backstabbers Mr. President.
“Murk and Cheney at least have to be put out to pasture.”
Everyone who voted against Trump in the unconstitutional show trial needs to be put out to pasture, as a starting point. All of the ones running again should be at the top of the list to primary with our best candidates and with our time and money.
I suspect Trump is of the same opinion, regardless of what Lindsey or anyone else tells him. MAGA folks need to take the primaries at least as seriously as the general election and not be defeatist about it all. Trump, for his part, needs to get behind a single challenger in each race so our vote won’t be split when going against the RINOs.
If he could make them, why didn’t he make them not cooperate with the Democrats cheating him out of office?
For someone who can’t tell the difference between “can” and “could” you’re perfect to call Trump a fool LOL!
Trump doesn’t need anything from Senators or House Members anymore. He’s free.
That’s what terrifies you people.
You are the fool using the word fool, fool.
