I didn't mean to imply that, M. Griffith. Sorry I miswrote a general complaint I have about voters in general who vote on personality, or only if a candidate is perfect.

I just don't see him picking Haley or Gabbard.

But, respectfully and imo, I do think you commit a common error of assuming the non-politician, private sector person of 2016 is unchanged/uneducated by being chewed up, taken advantage of, and spit out by our overbearing, Fascist/Commie State. Is it out of the realm of possibilty that DJT will be better advised?

What did Kushner do that was so egregious?

Also, please vote! Final totals matter, even in a loss!! Is this why the Dems have been winning the popular vote tally, because people throw up their hands and withdraw their vote?

You, our host, and most posters/readers in this forum might be completely right, but I still don't think so. I still think the un-capturable DJT is our teflon warhorse.

But, until November 5, my mind is open...

Read this piece by Peter Navarro on the damage that Kushner did to the Trump agenda. Kushner was constantly pulling DJT to the left.

Thank you. I remember reading that article now. Yes, Kushner is a worry, especially as family.

But, there will be many newer and better advisors, and Kushner is now not an unknown.

Do you happen to know if Navarro is still, or will be, on the Trump team? You don't need to respond, I can research.

Sentenced to 4 months in federal prison for contempt of congress.

Not positive but I don't think yet. Keep in mind Eric Holder was found in contempt of congress two or three times, was never prosecuted by the Trump DOJ.

Other Dems have done the same without consequence.

Until the R's figure out they have to play hard ball and play for keeps this will keep happening. Easy prediction. The R's will never figure it out so we are essentially doomed. They are going to put Trump in prison for something.

Until red state D.A's. begin to start charging Dem's for all sorts of things, even if, no especially if, it isn't true, and then imprisoning said Dem', this lawfare on R's won't stop.

Another easy prediction. They won't stop with Trump. He is only the appetizer. They will do this to ANYONE who threatens the system that all the Dem's and most of the R's serve.

We have the SCOTUS.

How do we keep it without a Republican POTUS?

What Republican will win other than DJT?

Your defeatism is self-fulfilling prophesy.

We unite around the tools we have. Trump is winning the swing states. There are many signs independents and public opinion is turning against the Dems.

It is TDS of peeps on the right who are sabotaging victory right when it is within our reach. The Dems are counting on this. That's why they are using you, and have used Trump's personality against us.

My strong opinion remains, all we have to do is continue to rally behind him.

At this point, we fight with the warhorse that got us this far.
