The Trump implosion thread!

Quote: terapined

Trump is a lame duck President

That's a CNN line, heard it 3 times today.
Trump is done, he's lame duck, ready
for impeachment, has ruined his party
for 2018, he's pondering resignation.

The Libs are eating this fake news slop
like it's a free Xmas prime rib buffet.
They are rolling around on their living
room floors peeing themselves in delight.
They think they won the lottery, when
they are actually looking at last weeks
numbers. lol

There's a new game:

Look at ANY Republican's Twitter account, search for "golf," and soak in the insane hypocrisy.

I'm giddy

That aint fake news
That's news to be giddy about

Republicans cant govern.
Republican party imploding because they cant get jack passed
Freedom caucus on one side, Paul Ryan on the other side.
Who's in charge lol
Steve Bannon threatening congress members with being Trumps sh*t list
LOL
When your approval is tanking, your sh*t list is meaningless

Quite the opposite. Republicans showed that they are not puppets of the President. The Democrats were unable to do that under Obama..... "I have a bill.....please vote for it.... of course you don't have to read it!" The Republicans will vote for a bill that they support, and not because the President tells them. The Republicans are not united, never have been. The extreme Right is what sunk this bill, not the moderate Republicans who are closer ideologically to the Democrats! Interesting times!

Their failure wasn't resisting Trump the bully.

Their failure was not even voting on something that they said that they were going to do for 7 years, something that they had done dozens of times before, with full Republican support, in empty gestures.

Of course, that Republican support for all of those earlier measures was also illusory. They had no fear that those bills would actually pass.

If the moderate Republicans want to work with the moderate Democrats, and leave the fringes on the sideline, they can do that. Will the leadership of either party allow that to happen, or will the members do it anyway despite what their leaders say?

That is the real question. My guess would be a resounding no from the Democrats and a likely no from the Republicans.

Well, he was right. Trump doesn't cost the tax payers $920,000 each time he goes golfing in Florida. he costs them around $3 million, plus the additional losses to local aviation due to air space closures.

See, the sad little man named after a lizard was complaining President "Obsma" was obviously not wasting enough money.

This is how gov't used to work, before
Obama. This is at the heart of why the
Dem party is in such bad trouble
nationwide. It's more like a cult than
a political party. You have to believe
the same as the party core or you're
ostracized. Tim Allen was saying about
Hollywood the other day, if you are
on the Right, keep your mouth shut
or they'll beat you up. There is no
tolerance for anybody but Libs.

This wasn't a Trump defeat, it was a
stinky bill that just was not liked
by enough members of Trump's
party. The orig bill in 2009, it was
presented and the Dems said to
Obama, their fearless leader, Zeig
Heil, mein Fuhrer, we have not even
read it but we are all behind it. We
see how that worked out for everybody.

Why are the republicans giving up on this issue
If the Repubs were serious about health care
They would announce they are going back to the drawing board
Instead its the exact opposite.
They are totally giving up. Not even working on it
WTF
7 years chomping at the bit to have a meaningful vote
and
nothing
no vote
they aint working on it
A whole lot of nothing
amazing

WTF is trump promoting Jeanine Pirro's show on Fox
WH says Trump behind Ryan
Pirro says the party needs to get rid of Ryan
Sending mixed signals just throws gas on the divisions.
Boehner must be chuckling, simply switching Speakers does not solve the problem of a fractured party

This was my thought exactly. Delineate what the problems are with the proposed Trumpcare Bill. Make changes to it. Try and get the new version passed.... or... at least do this.....

Find some specific provisions in Obamacare that you want changed and make those individual proposals. Doing nothing is pathetic.
