    Default Appears the President is losing his grip, along with credibility

    "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly complained to the White House that a pro-President Trump group’s ads attacking a GOP senator for opposing the Senate's ObamaCare repeal plan are “beyond stupid.”

    "Former top McConnell aide Josh Holmes told the Times: “That the White House is asking people to take a tough vote and then running ads against members while we’re still in negotiations is so dumb it’s amazing we even have to have the conversation.”

    "The group reportedly got a go-ahead to run the ads from Trump officials who were infuriated by Heller's decision"

    Given the President takes everything so personal, think we'll see late night tweets on Senate leadership anytime soon?

    Trump's ONLY way of "negotiating" is through fear & intimidation. He really doesn't have anything else.

    It's really a ham-handed way to get things done. No skills.

    Trump's attack ad blew up in his face so badly it's hilarious. SAD!

    McCuntell is using Trump as an excuse for being a failure.

    All McCuntell needs to do is pass a clean repeal bill and put it on Trump's desk. Trump doesn't need to negotiate shit. He will sign it.

    McCuntell is a failure. I don't expect the hyper partisan lefties to see it because they live in a world where when they crap their own pants it is Trumps fault.

    McCuntell and Ryan promised to repeal Obamacare. Period. It wasn't contingent on anything Donald Trump did or didn't to.

    Sadly for dim bulb Trump suckers, McConnell just doesn't have the votes to pass any "clean repeal bill".

    That he ever did is just ONE of the lies delusional Trumpkins believe.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    Sad day for Trump that no one fears rejecting him as either a Republican or Democrat. Republicans are more popular among their constituents than Trump himself. Democrats are (and should be) punished for colluding with Trump on his policies. Trump just ran an attack ad against a fellow Republican for not supporting Trumpcare, and the Republicans collectively sided with the guy being attacked. I have in my life seen a politician burn through political capital as quickly as Trump has in his first 200 (?) days.
