"Half Of Trump Supporters: Deplorable"

Posted By Mel Maki

Clinton calls opponents racist, sexist, homophobic, or xenophobic. Her supporters say, "Yes!"

Did you all see this Wikileaks email chain? The good stuff is in the middle. The context is a couple of New York Times reporters seeking verification from the Clinton camp of what they believed Bill Clinton's concerns might be.

Well, the certainly did run that kind of campaign!

Bubba saw the risk points all along. Apparently the campaign "knew better" than one of the greatest campaigners of modern times.

I'll bet her campaign staffers wanted to minimize Bill's visibility and input.

And the list keeps growing...

Did you read it? Organizer said it is not a protest against Trump or the legitimacy of the election.

Trump is so thin skinned he had to whine about this one, too:

There aren't any writers that think this is funny. None. For this crew of writers it's about politics-not laughs.

OH, OH, OH! These jokers held their annual national conference and 200 people show up. OH, OH, OH!

How bad does it have to get? So bad that some liberals are bouncing on the bottom and this is the best they can come up with.

Er, ah, I really like the idea of turning off their anti-aircraft defense systems...

Obama wouldn't screw with their defense systems. This is bs.

Trump's New Year Tweet

Posted By Mel Maki

Trump might be the workaholic type that tries to do more than one can easily do. After getting buried in work Trump might decide he doesn't have time for all the social media nonsense. Won't take but a few weeks to find out. Better if he didn't participate in some of the extras. The which artists controversy for the inaugural? Who cares? How about celebrity-free? Governments don't need poets or rock groups. Correspondents dinner? It's just a "look at me" for the media. Axe it.

Interesting to see how far Trump takes his disagreements with establishment republicans. He needs them.

In recent history:

Gee, I wonder why...
How many Republicans were polled? Looks like only 23% Not a good poll.
Do you really think the voters that swarmed every rally would turn on him before he takes office?

McCain: "No Evidence Of Illegal Voting"

That gosh-darn liberal disputing Trump:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/24/politics/mccain-no-evidence-of-illegal-voting-cnntv/index.html

Difficult to prove either way. The Obama administration has spent eight years blocking states from gaining access to federal lists of non-citizen and other possibly illegal voters.
