Seriously, I'm sick of the democrats trying to be the bigger person. Let the GOP ruin people's livelihoods if you know those people will end up voting for you.

As per usual, ignoring that
Trump names anti-regulation billionaire Carl Icahn as special adviser on regulatory reform
Quote:

"It’s time to break free of excessive regulation and let our entrepreneurs do what they do best: create jobs and support communities. President-elect Trump is serious about helping American families, and regulatory reform will be a critical component of making America work again.”

Yeah, because the last time you got deregulated, you created jobs and helped the economy el oh el

Trump's supporters won't care. So many of them do not and never did believe he would improve things. They wanted to stick it to the society that they felt was leaving them behind, the smug college-educated leftist people who tried to tell them how to talk and what was best. They don't care to think about tomorrow, can't put all the pieces together even if they did, and love anything that makes a liberal angry. They'll scream when the ACA gets taken away, and then vote in the midterms for more Republicans and Teahadis who blame government for taking away the health care and insurance that the government gave them, ignoring that it was the liberal side that gave it to them in the first place. They're angry, they don't like feeling stupid and powerless, and taking it out on smart people who shout them down is all they know to do. You can try to understand them all you like, but all there is to understand is that they hate you for being smart and will hurt themselves to spite you, then blame you for making them do it.

You do realize that the action of deleting 30k e-mails, using bleach bit to erase evidence and hammering blackberries or even the main component of it being on a private server did not start with FBI.
It started with Clinton.
Ya'll keep blaming everyone else except looking at the root and core issues: lies, noncompliance and corruption
|
- Deleting 30,000 spam emails is not criminal activity, otherwise the FBI would have included it in their review.
- What the hell does "bleach bit" mean?
- Destroying physical technological devices is part of federal protocol.

2020: A look into the crystal ball
When Democrats and independents were offered some possible 2020 Democratic presidential contenders, Sen. Bernie Sanders (44 percent) and Vice President Joe Biden generated the most excitement (43 percent), with Sen. Elizabeth Warren favored by 34 percent of voters. However, most voters would like to see “someone new” (66 percent). Another Hillary Clinton run would excite 23 percent of voters, while 15 percent were indifferent to a Clinton candidacy, and 62 percent said she shouldn’t run.

Sanders and Biden lead the 2020 race as of now. But most people would still prefer someone new. With Warren in third place and being "new", I wonder if she'll snatch?

Donald Trump has named his former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, as his choice to serve as counselor to the president, his transition team said in a statement.
Trump, in the statement, said Conway “played a crucial role in my victory. She is a tireless and tenacious advocate of my agenda and has amazing insights on how to effectively communicate our message.”
Not Kellyanne becoming one of the most powerful woman in America. Perched for her 2020 run.

A legend...in the making
Conway single handedly rerouting the campaign to win the election.
Why can't the media give a blonde white woman proper credit?
Blame everything when Kelly was the one behind clear messaging which broke Clinton.
Blonde icons always win

Biden? Warren?
Wow, I thought the left didn't learn from the re-election of Pelosi but this is even more telling.
If the country is "divided" based on those that accept the low standards of the broken establishment vs. those that are against the establishment how are 2 candidates a apart of this establishment going to make waves.
It's best to get a fresher younger perspective that can motivate and energize the party.
But I do hope Bide and warren push through...more confidence of a 8 year Trump reign in that case.

Um because there was another Woman giving Trump a run for his money.
She wasn't that grate to deserve widespread recognition. She barley won him the election. She got lucky.

I think she was great and I remember people here saying Kellyanne couldn't be trusted with her internal polls.
There wasn't a 98% prediction for Trump's presidency by the way.
Barely won??? First Clinton was to win the electoral college in a landslide and didn't and now after Obama won around 10M more than his competitor barely is used for less than 3M votes essentially one of 20 states removed making the difference.
Ok...Kellyanne REMAINS an icon with legendary potential in the making

I'm only looking forward to (me)Melania's public appearances and speeches for the kiis. That's it. That should make this 4 years a bit fun.

Reid dragging Debbie 
"The DNC has been worthless….I hope they will choose someone who is a full-time person, not like that congresswoman from FL.” --@SenatorReid
And she still kept her House seat after all that, definitely in the top 3 kiis this year

This week, we learned that I will serve on four committees in the Senate — Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Select Committee On Intelligence, Environment and Public Works Committee, and the Committee On Budget.

Come through, first female President.  If she (and other Senate Dems) manage to blockade reckless immigration, budget, security and/or climate measures put forth by Trump and his cronies, she could easily land herself a spot as a 2020 front-runner.

Barack and Michelle said they would begin to scout up and down for new Dem talent once they're out of office.
Save us, power couple!
