Let Trump continue to be Trump. He is his own worst enemy. For example, let him pardon war criminals and attack war heroes like Lt. Col. Vindman. Under what calculus does that secure him the military vote? Trump is the most incompetent person we could have ever elected to the office of POTUS. He should be impeached simply for incompetence and dereliction of duty alone.

Never mind that courts ordered three of his adult children, court-mandated training classes, to teach them how not to abuse a charity for personal gain again. Never mind that half a dozen of Trump's closest political campaign cohorts and his lawyer have convictions on charges of corruption. 

We live in a bubble, but they think Trump will easily coast to victory in 2020. Never mind that he's consistently -10% in job approval and has never been over 50%. Never mind that Trump polls behind each of the top Democratic candidates even in red states like Texas.  Never mind that a plurality of the country wants Trump impeached and removed from office, and a majority wants Trump impeached and thinks that he deserves it. Never mind that the only reason he won in 2016 is that he got lucky and managed to thread the needle in the electoral college. Never mind that losing the popular vote again, which he will almost surely do, and winning the electoral college again is almost certainly not possible. You never know, though, Trump could win again, but it's highly unlikely. He has a good economy, but he's already gotten all the additional advantages out of that he can. There is little indication that he has any headroom left to improve his position since he can't seem to quit offending every group of independent voters on the planet. He's juiced the economy so much for his political advantage, that there is no space left to expand. But yeah, we live in a bubble.

Hi Rich:

I hope you too had a merry Christmas.  Did you stay away from politics with your lefty brother and neighbors?  Hopefully the finger(s) are healing well!  

In the spirit of joy, I am posting our Christmas card "front" picture - I spent an extraordinary amount of time this summer chasing hummingbirds around trying to get that perfect shot.  This was my best - not perfection by a mile, but still, pretty cool, I think!

For those of you posting about the Iran attack and complaining that our “idiot president did something stupid and started a war” I want you to remove your biased feelings towards the President and educate yourself on what happened. General Suleimani was actively leading an attack on the US embassy and was planning to kill US service members and diplomats in Iraq and throughout the region. Trump stepped in and took him out, to send a message that Americans will not tolerate this behavior.

For those calling it a “terrorist attack” on Trumps part, I’d like to remind you what happened in Benghazi, the US lost four men in a similar attack & our previous Administration wouldn’t even call it a terrorist attack against our own people, then tried to cover it all up.

I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about “they may have to bring back the draft, and i’m not fighting for this president” and that really shows your character, it’s not a president you’d be fighting for... its other Americans who these terrorist are actively killing you’d be fighting for! It seems to me, that many people would rather be left alone to play their video games, and trash the president rather than defend the ones keeping us safe.

I don't agree with every single thing Trump does, but this one I do! If you are killing and attacking Americans, you deserve the same fate as General Suleimani!

It saddens me as a citizen in this country, to see more Americans displaying their hatred for the President, so much so, that it exceeds their love and respect for the American Soldiers & their hatred for terrorists.

Darin, That's a bunch of crap, on par with the preacher-congressman who said Democrats love terrorists but eventually apologized for it. You ought to do the same. As far as the terrorist Iranian general is concerned, I'm glad he was droned to death and nobody but his fellow terrorists are shedding a tear for him. What we do know now is that four embassies weren't informed of the "imminent threat" and Trump reportedly made the decision to take the guy out 7 months ago--ok, fine but don't lie about it now. At this point, the rationale has shifted from an "imminent threat" to one of "deterrence". That is a reasonable explanation but don't cook up a story and tell us to enjoy eating it...

I guess as long as there is a "law allowing abortion", that is as much as those like Rod need to be able to justify these heinous acts on the part of Democrats.

Pretty damned sad reasoning and logic.  

Then again, when did any leftist Democrat approach any issue with logic and reasoning?  

Almost never.
