    He attacked the raid while failing to disclose a personal vested interest in said raid.

    He attacked the raid because it was a Gestapo move. His support of Cohen and Trump is no secret. Are you trying to claim that he would not have attacked the Gestapo raid , if he had never asked Cohen for legal/financial advice?

    Really?

    This seems disingenious to me. Even if you don't want to discuss specifics of the poll, you could still have an opinion on the general topic. It's fairly well known here that I don't really give a sh*t about polls, but I often participate in these threads if the polling topic interests me at all.

    Journalistic ethics demands that a reporter disclose when they, or the organization for which they work, have a personal relationship with an individual or organization upon which they are reporting. And that is especially true when they are offering a personal opinion on the individual or organization.

    Is that a difficult concept to grasp?

    Overall, 6 in 10 say they see the investigation as a serious matter that should be fully investigated (58% say so), while around a third (36%) say it's mainly an effort to discredit Donald Trump's presidency. Those figures haven't changed significantly since February despite recent escalations in rhetoric from the President against the investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller specifically.

    Three-quarters overall (75%) say the President should agree to testify under oath for the probe, if he is asked to do so, similar to the 78% who felt that way in January.

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/27/politics/cnn-poll-russia-views-entrenched-partisan/index.html

    A Fox News poll released Wednesday reported that a majority of Americans believe that special counsel Robert Mueller will find that President Trump committed criminal or impeachable offenses.

    Fifty-six of respondents in the poll said they believed Mueller’s probe will find that Trump committed the offenses. And 67 percent say they believe it’s at least somewhat important that Mueller’s investigation continues.

    Sixty-four percent of respondents in the poll overall also said they believe Mueller is treating the White House fairly.

    Why should anyone announce who their lawyer is? Do you think that's an obligation on their part or common occurrence? Do you know, or care, who Rachel Maddow's lawyer is? This is just a desperate, and failed, attempt by leftists to initiate a smear campaign against anyone who dares challenge The Swamp.

    Democrats don't want Americans to be successful, they want them dependent on government. Dems want to be the entitled elite that doles out the nation's products to the poor that then shows their elite benefactors with praise and adoration.

    A prosperous independent people only want government to handle that which has been constitutionally charged to government. Why would a Democrat support prosperity?

    They don't. They want us helpless, disarmed and dependent on benefit cards they control.

    Prosperity IS independence and under Trump, it's increasing:

    CBO Projects: GDP Headed To 15-Year High

    [​IMG]
    President Trump Signs The Tax Cut

    The Congressional Budget Office’s budget and economic outlook released this month projects that real Gross Domestic Product will grow by 3.3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018.

    That would mark a 15-year high.

    “In CBO’s projections, real GDP expands by 3.3 percent this year and by 2.4 percent in 2019,” says the CBO report. “It grew by 2.6 percent last year.”

    The last time real GDP grew by more than 3.3 percent from the fourth quarter of one year to the fourth quarter of the next was in 2003, when it grew by 4.4 percent, according to the historical data published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

    This is the same reason why dems wouldn't stand and clap when Trump mentioned record low black unemployment at the SOTU speech.

    That is outstanding news about the economy.

    I heard on the radio today that in reality the Dems ought to sue themselves since they are solely the cause of their own problems.

    Meanwhile, the independent projections are for around 2.0%. That is, the Trump economy is sluggish.

    Remember, economies are demand driven. The insignificant sum that most people got from Trump's tax-cuts-for-the-rich has been been eaten up just by higher gasoline prices. I'm not blaming Trump for higher gas prices. I'm just pointing out that gasoline prices are up fifty cents a gallon since he took office, therefore people have less money to spend, so that's one factor slowing down the economy. Whether a billionaire has more money to invest from his tax cuts affects that not a bit.

    And late 2017? That was overheated due to hurricane recovery reconstruction. That's tapering off.

    Tariffs? More downward pressure on GDP.

    Interest rates? Already low. Cutting won't help. Pushing on a string does nothing.

    The stock bubble? Over and done.

    It's hard to see where the anemic Trump economy is going to get a boost anywhere. That's awful news for Republicans. Before the midterms, even our nutty conservative MSM won't be able to spin away how bad it is.

    So why do conservatives support such failed economic policies? It gives them an excuse to rile up more hatred against Mexicans. That's about the only tactic they have left.

    2016 produced 1.458% GDP. Please give me a link to your post describing this growth under Obama as "sluggish"
    2017 produced 2.273% 56% more growth than Obama's exit year. No one predicted that Trump would increase economic growth by 56% in his first year, yet, he has.
    No ****, Sherlock, we are switching from cheaper winter blend to more expensive summer blend, Silly! Happens ever frickin year and every frikin year that we have a Republican President, the Left freaks out over it. Seriously, do you really have no memory cells? You can really flip out in complete surprise, every friken year over the transition from winter to summer blend? Are you advocating a policy change that we just run winter blend all year round?
    Is the net negative trade balance an addition, or a subtraction from GDP?
    The Fed raised rates all through 2017 as they began their exit from the extraordinary measures of the last decade. They will continue to raise rates. We have to, pension and retirement funds have been chasing yield and are dangerously misallocated.
