That's a hard thing to admit even when your guy is denying obvious truths, is tweeting nonsense stuff, and basically showing lack of stability and competence.
It's interesting watching them deny reality. Some don't even accept the fact of Russian hacking. Some buy the idea of all negative reports just being fake news.
Many don't acknowledge trumps bizarre tweets as abnormal.
I wonder how long it took the students at trump university to realize they were played for fools.
Don't hold your breath - 85% of republicans approve of rump.
politics is not a rational business
And how many butthurt libtards approved of Hillary the Lying Witch?
You're correct, politics is not a rational business, the Dumbocrats even managed to prove that in losing---LOL!!!!!

No. Everything is way more complicated than you make it appear to be. Starting in the late 1700 there were a series of laws preventing slave trading in some form. These laws were routinely ignored and tougher laws were introduced. By 1808, there was an act that prohibited the importation of new slaves into the US which was routinely ignored. In 1820 slave trading became a capital offense. The states seceded from the Union because of existing slavery laws. Secession is illegal and so was slave trading. It is true that an amendment to the constitution was finally passed after the civil war. It is not true that anti slavery federal laws were not present before the civil war. You are welcome to argue what "slavery" means. If you claim that a federal law prohibiting importation of new slaves is not an anti-slavery law, then I would argue that the 13th amendment was not either. It wasn't until the late 20th century that real reforms were made.

The slavery argument is not the correct argument for resisting federal law. It is quite the opposite. When slavery was outlawed by the federal government, states tried to secede from the Union. The civil war ensued to enforce federal law.
You don't know anything about this.
The Civil War began in 1861, following Lincoln's election to the presidency, because southern slave states feared his efforts to stop the expansion of slavery into new territories and to eventually end slavery in the nation.
Lincoln issued an executive order in the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 (almost two years into the war) that issued freedom to all slaves in the Confederacy, and not to slaves in states that had not seceded from the Union.
Slavery was "outlawed" by the federal government with the passage and ratification of the 13th Amendment of the Constitution. The 13th Amendment was first proposed in the House of Representatives on December 14, 1863 and proposed in the Senate on January 11, 1864. It passed the Senate in April of 1864 but didn't pass the House until January 31, 1865. The 13th Amendment only became part of the Constitution on December 6, 1865, when Georgia became the 27th state to ratify the amendment, satisfying the requirement that the amendment be ratified by at least 3/4ths of the states.
To recap, the Civil War started in 1861, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863 (which had no practical effect for the slaves in the Confederacy and no effect of any kind to slaves in Union states) and the federal government didn't ban slavery until December 1865, eight months after the surrender of the Confederacy.
So let me get this straight. You had 9 GOP led congressional investigations into Hillary Clinton, every slander and lie has been disproved without a shadow of a doubt, she withstood 11 hours of congressional inquiry and came out as clean as a whistle, and you still want to call her a liar. I think you're threatened by her superior intelligence and at a deeper level she kinda turns you on. Otherwise you're just stupid.

What you are saying is incorrect. Nothing has been disproved beyond a shadow of a doubt. Her superior intelligence was not good enough to get her elected. So either she is not so smart, or Trump is smarter than her.

Why did Trump exempt Mexico from the steel and aluminum tariffs?
I thought that that would be leverage for them to pay for the wall.
Well someone on YOUR team convinced YOU of lies, so that makes you the dumb one. Not all Americans are smart and most of the stupid ones are Republicans. You are easily conned by appealing to your confirmation bias rather than facts.

Because under Trump's Buy America gimmick Mexico has to supply materials and labour to build the worthless wall.

Think bigger. Interesting that on the day Trump signs documents to levy trade tariffs on Chinese aluminum & steel, Kim Jung Un invites Trump to talk about missiles & nukes. Coincidence? I think not. Looks like China may have finally got the message.

Yah, but are you going to release your tax returns the way the Dotard promised he’d release his?
Remember "little rocket man" and the LR lib echo chamber went nuts over it? Kim Jong Un is backing down from missile launches. Trump warned China to stop aiding NK and then this happens.

This North Korea news is perhaps the most relevant diplomatic breakthrough in our lifetimes to talk about and you lib boneheads screamed at Trump for calling out "little rocket man."
South Korea Natl Sec Adviser, Chung Eui-Yong: "I explained to President Trump that his leadership and maximum pressure policy together with international solidarity brought us to this juncture...Kim Jong Un said he is committed to denuclearization & will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests."
You libs look like asses today, just like your party mascot.

Nice deflection. Now admit defeat. Trump forced China to submit.
