It is quite boring when you just make it up as you go. Can you imagine what the outcome of "trump world" as we perceive it.

No its the legions of "Progressives" who are obsessed with the personality, the person, the lablels you like to apply to Trump who are dumb. And I hope you all continue to obsess over him and "getting him". I don't agree with everything he does, or most definitely says, But, the left's obsession with "getting Trump" will play right into his 2020 re-election.
No ideas or proposals to better America. Cant win in the arena of ideas because it does not fit into your identity/labeling system whereby everyone has a category that they are supposed to fit into. Can't even DISCUSS a range of ideas so you all resort to name calling (labeling) and worse censoring/blocking otherwise shutting down.
Inherent to the Dem/Blue/Progressive way is to conceal your true motives/agenda. You get things done by way of deception. "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor".
Democrat programs give you Medicare, Social Security, Head Start, public education, family leave, assistance for the poor and elderly, protections from corporate greed, gun safety regulations that help keep citizens safe from shoddy infrastructure and construction to safer automobiles, foods and medicines to trying to stop the impending environmental disasters- red tide, massive flooding,(think Harvey and Midwest floods) and wildfires. What do the republicans offer besides unfettered greed and thoughts and prayers?
And that keep my doctor remark might be true if we had universal healthcare but sadly it's still a private for profit enterprise that writes contracts with doctors and drops contracts with doctors. So what Obama should have said for the simple minded is: 'You can keep your doctor so long as the private plan you choose or keep has your doctor in its network.
Even though your doctor is in network now he/she may choose to leave network or (because it's private) be dropped due to circumstances beyond mine or your control. You can however continue to see your doctor but your insurance may not cover your visit or you can shop around for a policy that has a contract with your doctor. One of the advantages of the ACA is that you
can shop around in open enrollment (or if you lose your insurance due to loss of job, move etc. anytime) for a more suitable plan without fear of being turned down because of a per-existing condition like you could in the old days'.
So are you trying to bring Obama’s doctor comment into the orbit of trump’s constant and insidious lies?
As far as Democrats and the KKK. Who pushed for and signed the Voting and Civil Rights Act into law? A Democrat. Who signed an executive order integrating the military? Truman a Democrat. Not all Republicans are racist but if you’re racist -in today's society- you are most likely Republican starting with trump.

Hmmm, " ___________________________________ Operated As a Foreign Agent". Is it coming into focus now? Project onto your political enemies to divert attention away from yourself. Mueller Report? Wait for the Huber Report to be delivered?
Link: Financial Bounty Hunters Testify: Clinton Foundation Operated As Foreign Agent - Sara A. Carter
Content:
The Clinton Foundation operated as a foreign agent ‘early in its life’ and ‘throughout it’s existence’ and did not operate as a 501c3 charitable foundation as required by its and is not entitled to its status as a nonprofit, alleged two highly qualified forensic investigators, accompanied by three other investigators, said in explosive testimony Thursday to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
John Moynihan and Lawerence W. Doyle, both graduates of the Catholic Jesuit College of the Holy Cross and former expert forensic government investigators, gave their shocking testimony before congress based on a nearly two-year investigation into the foundation’s work both nationally and internationally. They were assisted by three other highly trained experts in taxation law and financial forensic investigations. The forensic investigators stressed that they obtained all the documentation on the foundation legally and through Freedom of Information Request Acts from the IRS and other agencies.
The investigation clearly demonstrates that the foundation was not a charitable organization per se, but in point of fact was a closely held family partnership
Former Utah U.S. Attorney General John Huber, who resigned when he was appointed by former Department of Justice Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the Clinton Foundation and the issues surrounding the approval to sell 20 percent of U.S. Uranium assets to Russia, declined to attend the hearing. Chairman Mark Meadows, R-NC, who oversaw the hearing stated that it was disappointing that Huber declined, leaving Congress in the dark regarding the DOJ’s investigation.
Investigations into the Clinton Foundation have always been plagued by politics but Moynihan wanted to make clear in his opening statement that this investigation was one of many his firm has conducted on nonprofits and had nothing to do with politics.
Doyle and Moynihan have amassed 6,000 documents in their nearly two-year investigation through their private firm MDA Analytics LLC. The documents were turned over more than a year and a half ago to the IRS, according to John Solomon, who first published the report last week in The Hill.
“The investigation clearly demonstrates that the foundation was not a charitable organization per se, but in point of fact was a closely held family partnership,” said Doyle, who formerly worked on Wall Street and has been involved with finance for the last ten years conducting investigations. “As such, it was governed in a fashion in which it sought in large measure to advance the personal interests of its principles as detailed within the financial analysis of this submission and further confirmed within the supporting documentation and evidence section.”
At the onset of the hearing, Moynihan wanted to make perfectly clear that the intention to look into the Clinton Foundation was not political but based on their work with the firm.
“At this point, I’d like to answer two questions, who are we? We are apolitical,” Moynihan told the committee. “We have no party affiliation to this whatsoever, No one has financed us… we are forensic investigators that approached this effort in a nonpartisan profession, objective, and independent way…we follow facts, that’s all.”
“We have never been partisan,” he added, speaking on behalf of all five members of his group testifying to Congress. “We come from law enforcement and wall street where each of us has dedicated our entire lives and praised the rule of law doing the right thing pursuing facts. we follow facts. that’s all.”
“None of this is our opinion,” he went on state: “I emphasize none of this is our opinion. These are not our facts. They are not your facts. They are the facts of the Clinton Foundation.”
He disclosed the reason his firm decided to take on the Clinton Foundation and the fact that they paid for the investigation out of their “own pockets.”
“Are you doing this for money,” said Moynihan to the committee. “Yes, this is how we make a living.”
Moynihan and Doyle swapped back and forth between there testimony and opening statement, making it clear they were working as a team. But the most shocking statements came from Moynihan’s statement as he read the laundry list of violations by the Clinton Foundation.
Moynihan stated “Foreign agent,” as he began to read from a long list of violations discovered during the course of their investigation.
Who’s minding the store, looking out for the donors and minding the rule of law?
The Clinton Foundation “began acting as an agent of foreign governments ‘early in its life’ and throughout its existence. As such, the foundation should’ve registered under FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act),” he said. “Ultimately, the Foundation and its auditors conceded in formal submissions that it did operate as a (foreign) agent, therefore the foundation is not entitled to its 501c3 tax-exempt privileges as outlined in IRS 170 (c)2.”
Doyle, who was also outlining a litany of violations by the foundation, noted that currently there are approximately 1.75 million nonprofits in the United States that annually generate nearly 2 trillion dollars, which is 9 percent of the U.S. GDP.
“Who’s minding the store, looking out for the donors and minding the rule of law,” said Doyle.
“On that note, we followed the money so we made extensive spreadsheets of their revenues and expenses, we analyzed their income statements and we did a macro-review of all the donors, which is a very (jumbled) sort of foundation,” said Doyle. “Less than 1/10th of one percent of the donors gave 80 percent of the money. So we follow the money.”
Moynihan added that the foundation “did pursue programs and activities for which it had neither sought nor achieved permission to undertake.”
Particularly, he noted the case of the Clinton Presidential Library in 2004. He noted that the foundation’s role before and after the library was built was a misrepresentation to donors “of the approval organizational tax status to raise funds for the presidential library programs therein. In these pursuits, the foundation failed the organizational and operational task 501c3 internal revenue code 7.25.3.”
Additionally, Doyle stated that the foundation’s intentional “misuse of donated public funds.” He stated that the foundation “falsely attested that it received funds and used them for charitable purposes which were in fact not the case. Rather the foundation pursued in an array of activities both domestically and abroad.”
“Some may be deemed philanthropic, albeit unimproved, while other much larger in scope are properly characterized as profit-oriented and taxable undertakings of private enterprise again failing the operational tests philanthropy referenced above,” Doyle said.
Philip Hackney, a tax law professor at Louisiana State University, who is a former Exempt Organizations lawyer at the IRS, and Tom Fitton, president of the conservative government watchdog group Judicial Watch also testified at the hearing. Judicial Watch has been at the forefront of fighting the Clinton Foundation in court to access documents requested by FOIA. Hackney and Fitton testified during the first panel of the hearing.
Testimony suggests FBI open criminal investigation into Clinton Foundation.

Not all Republicans are racist but if you’re racist -in today's society- you are most likely Republican starting with trump.
Your big lie started with "Democrat programs give you...". ALL of our taxes are used for these programs. "Gun safety regulations that keep citizens safe from shoddy infrastructure and construction"???? Dont know what you were trying to get across here but the abilitty to defend one's self was covered back in the late 1700s. It's called the 2nd Amendment.
And of course, it would not be a Blue Teamer unless they used "racist", "dumb", or some other name calling.

Trump is NOT building the wall. It's a charade and it will cost him IF the Dems run a serious candidate. The key is if a Left Centrist candidate can withstand all of the far Left crazies pouncing on them, like the Bernie crowd. If the Dems run Michelle Obama, and I am convinced they will, it will engergize and consolidate the Dems and bring a LOT of women out to vote. The whole Obama machine ran a stellar ground game in the 2008 election. Trump does not have anything close to that.
On the wall, Trump was primarily elected to stop/fix illegal immigration. Instead, what is happening is that a massive organized effort is in play to dump as many illegals across our Southern border as possible going forward. It will embarrass Trump and his "outer rings" base will not show up in 2020. The hard core Forever Trump crowd will never abandon him, but it's not enough.
Further, I think that the Fed/War Machine will crash our economy between now and election time, and since Trump has hitched his popularity to the stock market/economy it will be his to own.
I hope I am wrong. Our country cannot withstand another Obama. We are closer to civil war/Balkanization than most people realize.
