    I address our Left leaning constituency here on TPF. I asked this a number of months ago, so I'm curious to see if anyone has altered their thoughts, or is at least leaning towards a direction change. I remember shorty after elections, CNN crying about Twitter, would every Trump Tweet be newsworthy, did every Tweet need to become headline news. My thoughts personally, were who made every Trump Tweet newsworthy, CNN?

    Does it not appear on some levels.....that Tweets and Russian rabbit holes...are a purposeful distraction. That you Democrats are pouring money and time and effort into anti-Trump endeavors, is it a sticks and stones policy by Trump? Are y'all being played?

    I mean....Gorsuch. TPP-less. Paris-less. Obamacare repeal imminent. Economy improving. On the actual scoreboard yer being taken to the woodshed. In the news, they pretend you've a chance to be elected in districts where record breaking money shows up....or say I don't know, the Republican makes a fatal error and chokes the shiit out of some pesky reporter. All the money in Georgia by the way could buy a vote for Ossoff, but could not buy a vote by Ossoff as he couldn't vote on his own election day. He ain't from that District.

    I mean...who is driving yer boat, Democrats? Who is steering your vessels? Do you ever consider....ever....a different course. Your older battlewagons and cruisers still around, but the age of the battleship is over, no? Air power? Different infrastructure? Tea Party like movement from within rather than from Soros or Moore? Are you being played, Comrades? Thoughts?

    Obamacare isn't getting repealed, only tweaked. Schumer calls that a death sentence. LOL

    The final truth for democrats was the Ossof/Handel election. They once again truly believed they were going to win. Just like hillary they "believed it". Ossof, The Trump Slayer

    Trump has categorically been dismantling much of what obama has done. Hes accomplished what no other president since before Reagan, hes slowed illegal immigration 76% Hes deporting more than anyone else. All while the Democrats, denigate him, have skits murdering and beheading him. Insulting him and his family and ranting endlessly about russia and "LOSING ELECTIONS"

    Still when one of the totally biased fully left wing media outlets prints a lie, our forum liberals get all giddy and tell us trump is going down.

    The biased left wing media keeps telling democrats they are winning <Hillary/Trump Ossof/Handel and they havent won yet. These same outlets and polls are telling us how unpopular Trump is and how popular obama is, YET Obama lost more elections nationally and statewide than any other potus and the dems are still losing elections.

    You have to read both sides to get to the truth

    According to the White House, Trump's Tweets are "official statements by the President". They often deal with important matters affecting millions of Americans, or with U.S. relations with other countries, or they express the President's thinking on some other currently newsworthy event. When his Tweets are strange or inappropriate - as I think you'd have to admit they sometimes are - I believe many people are simply (and perhaps a bit morbidly) interested in what the chief executive of the most powerful nation on the planet - a man with access to the nuclear launch codes, among other things - considers sufficiently important to make an official statement on, and what that statement is.

    As for the "Russian rabbit holes"...U.S. intelligence services have unanimously agreed and publicly stated that Russian attempts - some successful - to hack into voter data bases, etc., are a fact. Meetings, many clandestine and unreported, between Russian government officials and operatives and individuals associated with the Trump campaign happened. Both are realities - not conspiracy theories or "distractions".

    They often do have to do with important matters, often used to send messages to his base.....and used to play y'all as well.

    I appreciate your answer. You want to continue down this path in the midst of repeated failure. Wolf...you know what the definition of insanity is, yes?

    None of you have one shred of evidence. Not one iota backing your collusion, your 'affected the outcome', your illegal Russian connections, you've been played like a violin. Used like a French ........nevermind.

    This is where pride steps in. The progressive Democrats possessing a shred of integrity know this has been a farce but will not allow themselves to believe that they were manipulated or that Russiagate is just an embarrassment for them at this point. By all means continue...

    Exactly Mr. D, and I'm merely wondering.....does our Left here ever sense that? Are we being played...like chess pieces. I mean, they look out and see they're losing the game even and yet, continue allowing themselves to be moved, put in check.

    Who will step up? Who will step up in here? Our forum? Is there an adult who will pick up the piece of chalk, sit them down, force them to spit out the gum, and start teaching. Start to carve a platform. Find a candidate that ...oh....lives in the district he's running for office in. Maybe get lucky and have their opponent choke a reporter.

    If I'm not mistaken, the Russians proved your statement, incorrect, at least regarding the server in your bathroom.
