Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Perhaps we need to develop some sort of criteria to make sure only certain people can vote, so we don't end up with POTUS like the 10 worst.

The problem is that you can't develop a criteria for what makes a good voter. If you could do that, you could just come up with the criteria for what makes a good president, pick the best match, and skip the voting altogether.

As it is, we recognize that everyone's life experience is valid, everyone's opinion should count the same, and everyone should have an equal opportunity to cast a ballot.

For trumpers lacking math skills - if you want confirmation that the EC does not reflect individual votes fairly, here’s a quick check you can do:

Divide the number of eligible voters and number who actually voted (use any year) in each state by the number of EC votes assigned and compare the results for each state - they will vary significantly across the country, highlighting just how disproportionate the weight of our votes are.

what the results look to me to be saying is if we had had another presidential election last night ... trump would have lost the popular vote (again) but would still be president since he'd win the EC (again)...

uggg...

I don't know about that.

I don't think he would have won PA, WI and MI again yesterday. He loses those three and he loses the electoral vote.

Not sure about Ohio either. I even wonder about N Carolina.

Maybe Florida, though.

You have to set the opponent.

But I don't think Trump would beat a decent Dem candidate last night in the electoral race.

Jeff Sessions officially OUT

game on.

time to step up, Dems.

I wonder if the senate repubs will try to jam approval of some flunky before the new senate comes.

Sessions just resigned.

Tiny says "We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States."

Excellent news - every time tiny touches anything close to the Russia probe he digs his own hole further. I hope he fires Rosenstein too, that will be an invitation to impeachment proceedings

Try. I bet you can.

I don't think it's good news at all. The Mueller investigation can be shut down tomorrow and the Democrats can't do anything about it until January.

This is not 1974. I don't think there are enough Republicans of good character to go along with an impeachment trial in the senate.

If Tiny knows that Mueller has the goods, he could become very aggressive about trying to shut him down. It might be the only card he has to play.

Do you really think EVERYONE's opinion should count the same?

The recused guy is out.

The new guy can fire Mueller or meddle in the investigation.

Obstruction to come.

In the impeachment, they can subpoena Mueller and ask all he knows.

Any severe measure will expose Trump as a guilty fvcker. GOP has been on the bandwagon because they know the public can stomach most of Trump’s antics, but directly shutting down the investigation would be too much. Therefore, I wish he would go that far and actually give Dems a reason to go on an out attack or at the very least kill his 2020 chances. Besides, if he attempted to end the investigation I believed there must be some protocol in place to ensure the results leak somehow. Trump knows he can’t run away from what’s coming.

Also with Sessions out, I believe some of Trump’s crew (the “grown ups”) will resign as they do not agree with this approach.

the current acting AG, the guy now in charge of Mueller,

LITERALLY WROTE AN OPINION PIECE FOR CNN SAYING MUELLER HAS GONE TOO FAR in his investigation.

Trump fires everyone who investigates him.

Mueller is next.

Will the republican party stand up? Will they? Probably not.

The Republican Party has given itself to Trump - it will do what Trump wants.

I can only think of 2-3 R senators who would vote to impeach if Mueller is fired. Sasse and Romney. The rest won't.

Yep. Matthew Whitaker (and whomever might follow him) had better be VERY careful what he does with Mueller. Doing what Trump has wanted people to do so far hasn't been good for them.

The only reasonable thing would be for Whitaker to recuse himself and allow Rosenstein to continue to oversee the Special Counsel.

Trump knows that he is in big trouble, and effectively firing Sessions shows it. Actions of a desperate man.

I hope they go after Mueller because it won't make a difference in the end. Now that Dems have the House, his report WILL see the light of day, as will Trump's tax returns. Any attempt to further obstruct justice will only make this administration look more guilty when it's all said and done. These blood suckers are going to see the light of day and it is going to burn.

Last night was a good night for Democrats. We have to keep in mind that, in many states, Democratic voters are contending with staunch voter suppression efforts, ridiculously gerrymandered district maps, and who knows what kind of foreign cyber interference. The Georgia election was clearly rigged and Abrams still almost pulled it off. O'Rourke almost won Texas (Texas!) as a progressive. Gillum would have won Florida if not for the disenfranchisement of 1.5 million potential voters with felony records. (They'll all get to vote in 2020, though.) Meanwhile, centrist Dems like McCaskill, Heitkamp, and Donnelly lost by significantly larger margins despite having an incumbent advantage. They are obviously orders of magnitude more preferable than the Republicans who replaced them, but in the long run, I'm glad to see the DINO faction of the party become less influential. It is long past time for Dems to stop worrying about appealing to Trump voters , who are obviously dug-in and out of reach, and emphasize turning out the base and stymieing voter suppression efforts. (On this note, McCaskill's Trump-friendly border security remarks in the days leading up to the election were a disgrace. She deserved to lose.)

The progressives are the future. The millennial and minority voters are the future. Not only is it a bad electoral strategy to tell them to "pipe down and be more civil" to people who vote for white supremacists like Steve King and Ron DeSantis, it's completely futile anyway. People are justifiably outraged and they're not going to stop. Arkansas and Missouri voters increased the minimum wage to 11 and 12 dollars, respectively. Florida restored voting rights to ex-felons. Other Republican states expanded Medicaid. Michigan legalized weed. These are all progressive issues. It might not be the right play in every race, but on the whole, I think the midterms showed that Dems shouldn't shy away from leaning into that left turn.
