    How do you know there is no actual truth of any Russian trump connection? We do know there was a connection with our elections, you may not want it investigated, after all it’s not as Important Obama’s birth certificate. (Sarcasm alert)
    Using your logic, Fox News is fake news any open mind, as you say, can see that ..what is so Interesting is when the news is anti trump, it’s “fake news”...when they comment on trumps asinine tweets, it’s fake news. I. Am Sure your also saw hundreds of Muslims in New Jersey cheering 9/11. I’m sure you believe trump didn’t inherit a growing economy and booming stock market, of course when that’s pointed out..”it’s fake news” and I’m sure you don’t believe trumps a sexual predator who romped with a porn star while his wife was home with a new baby...fake news!

    Trump is the president .....so it’s ok for him to be the joke of the world, though people aren’t laughing anymore, the Hillary Russian uranium “kickback” has been debunked...and Bill Clinton can get any fee he wants....Sad, the Clinton foundation has given billions to women and children all over the globe..but you hate Hillary more than you care about the needy.
    It’s better to do nothing to help like trump..so you’re not investigated. Oh wait, he did have a fraudulent university
    What is so sad....no one denies Russian involvement it s how much is the question, read a little and learn

    Forgive me.. you are correct you should home school so you can tell your children Obama was elected only because he’s black. You can teach them that some neo nazis are good people.you can teach the. That climate change is a hoax and you can sit and pray all day. In between you can explain why a man who boasts about grabbing ******* and has an affair with a porn star while his wife is with their new born is good moral behavior. You’re right, you should home school

    I've seen numerous reports on Fox criticizing some action of Trumps, and that is as it should be. What's more, I don't accept every thing I hear that supports Trump- there are people at every news point that write a story to show favor, and I do doubt any reporter who only sees part of the story. However I've yet to see anything on CNN that wasn't critical of Trump- not one single credit or recognition for things that were good. They act like that's not possible. We expect politicians to down-play the negatives and exaggerate the positives. News is not supposed to do that- when it does, it's become propaganda.
    .
    And "How do I know there is no truth" is a speculation without merit- designed to cast doubt. How do I know you didn't steal the car you are driving? After all, there you are in possession of it. It could well be stolen. How do we know there is any truth in your claim that you actually own it?

    See how easy it is to use allegations to cast doubt, to shift voter perception? I didn't lie in that statement- I just posed a possibility that implied you might be guilty. Once such things go out in politics, it will create a trace of doubt in people's minds, and some will take it as fact without further question.
    That's why such things are bad for everyone. Personally I would like to feel I could trust my government's actions and statements most of the time, and I'm not interested in the "might be" trash-hanging that has dominated the news for almost two years now. We used to be able to rely on most all news sources other than tabloids. Now, we can't trust any of them to give us the whole truth.

    I'm afraid you missed a couple relevant points.

    (1) Rasmussen Poll, FEB 2: Trump's approval rating jumps to 49%.
    Between the SOTU speech and the FISA memo, the Dems lost substantial ground. More to come- which could add to the trend..
    That will of course translate into GOP candidate benefits.

    (2) The DNC is virtually broke going into the election period- only $400K total according to fed reported filings. That wouldn't cover the cost of one campaign for one representative.
    Meanwhile, the GOP is flush with cash.

    What's it say about Democrats that the only positive they have is that they're not Trump?

    It all comes down to who runs the media cycle. With a record number of Republicans retiring we could beat Democrats silly with fresh new faces who make the midterms about issues instead of Trump

    It takes a lot of balls (and a detachment from reality) too admit being that foolish. I find that the only people left supporting this tub of goo have little but hate in their hearts and couldn't care less about the welfare of this country.

    The rest of what you said doesn't deserve to be quotes. It's simply fox news talking points, ignorance of history, devoid of facts, and everything that is wrong with the modern republican party.

    With your support of this joke you surrender all credibility. Trump supporters don't deserve dialogue. They need to be marginalized at the polls to put them back in their holes where they belong.

    Yet another example of your hate and bigotry toward anyone not a leftist. Keep it up for all to see.

    Follow the money.
    With so many incumbent Republican congressional representatives throwing in the towel after having endured the reign of trumpery since January, 2017, it could be that the neo-nazis and other white supremacists who enthusiastically hail their Trump as their "Glorious Leader!" are getting an even firmer, foothold in the GOP.

    Do you have a left in America? As far as I can observe, the American very-extreme trumpites are eaten up with self-contempt for their own inferiority, and hate everyone to try to work it out of their systems.

    Yeah, but the extreme left which you represent quite well is absolutely convinced that every critic of Obama is a racist, that every Trump voter is a neo-nazi or at least sympathizer, that the only possible reason people don't support open borders is xenophobia...

    You are not fooling anyone with these hair splitting excuses, we know very well how the left thinks and operates.

    I see you did not read the definition of "intolerance".

    The facts are clear. Is employment better, the economy better, tax situation better? Yes. The situation is better than when obuma was in control. But severe intolerance prevents certain people from admitting it.

    Employment and the economy were already trending that way. Go to bls.gov and educate yourself on employment and economic trends over the last 8 years. The economy didn't just start doing better when fatass took control. Also, to paint that idiotic clown who speaks at a 3rd grade as a master of macroeconomics just shows how desperate you are to give the incompetent in chief credit for something. The guy failed in multiple bankruptcies of companies that were tiny in comparison to our economy yet now he's a genius? Trump who can't even formulate an adult sentence is now Milton Friedman? Get real. Thank Janet Yellen if you want to thank someone.

    Look, I don't expect trump apologists to admit reality or even consider facts at this point but, history didn't start with the election of cadet bone spurs.

    LOL, yea, the economy was in a "robust recovery" under obuma. LOL, what a joke.
