This idiot has simply not been able to shift gears from being a corporate mob boss to working in government. I don't think he'll be able to and when he's made enough enemies, we'll have a chance at getting rid of him one way or another.

Personally, I'd like to see him contradicted and ignored to the point he blows a major fit and either quits or is hauled off for a nice long rest.

Is that the Republican leadership received "campaign" money from a super PAC that was backed by the Russians! The Russians kept very good records of who got what, and provided Trump with the names!


Just a theory, but they all seem to jump when Trump snaps his fingers, don't they?

Do it my way or else I'll come after your seat.

Trump will claim the people will take his seat away but that was Trump letting a Senator know he would go after him.

Heck just lost a bid for the Senate to Catherine Cortez Masto. I predict that he is going to primary Heller from the right and get PINO's support.

I think he said that in order to debate healthcare total repeal had to pass first. I may have heard it wrong. Probably not, though.

And yeah. The maggot did threaten Heller.
