    I dunno, it worked for the last 8 yrs by hating on obama. I suspect the midterms will swing more D. And if 4 yrs, further D.
    It's been the trend for the last few prez terms.

    Nothing has changed. The hyperlibs have a little bit of red meat in their mouths now and they're going to chew it for all they're worth!

    OF COURSE, any high-ranking members of ANY political faction in an election are going to examine what "the other side" is vitally interested in, what they want, and what they want to avoid! OF COURSE we need to understand the Russians, what hurts them most, what helps them most, and what they're willing to negotiate for -- both in terms of what they expect and in terms of what they will give up. IT'S CALLED "QUID PRO QUO", and nobody in the "government business" is successful on the foreign relations scene without being able to handle this very important arena.

    The Obama regime wasn't worth a damn at any of those things, and now Trump's got to "fix it", while being able to carefully manage our national security along the way. Obama's idea of negotiations was to pout, sulk, impose sanctions, and draw "red lines". What a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing moron! No, I'll take a man of General Flynn's intelligence and ability over the stupid bunch of Flynn's detractors any day! . Think: What good did Obama's sanctions actually do...?! Well, go on... what good did any of it actually do?!

    Candidate obama wasn't a private citizen at the time. Flynn was. Don't know the law, but I have heard a private citizen can't speak with foreign gov'ts and make deals. The Logan Law.
    How that works for a Senator, not sure.

    I would think that Flynn had to have authorization to discuss lifting the sanctions with the Russians.

    The Republicans held the WH and both houses from 2001-2007. The Democrats only held all three 2009-2011. The Democrats will NOT take the House and they have more seats, about 2:1, in the Senate up for contention.

    if this collusion is quite true and verified then it's counterproductive with Russia and further epitomize the validity of the economic sanction. For the culprits, I could see another fall guy out of Flynn and in her own regards Hillary could sue Russia for exposing her private and innate secrets. ;)
    If the details about Hillary revealed is not fabricated then the present US presidency is still legitimate. the electorate do have the rights to know exactly the characters of those who run for office.

    Stop blaming people who did not vote for Trump for Trump's existence in the White House. Your 'side' blew it when there were supposedly 17 credible republicans running for the nomination, all of whom could readily beat that woefully inept and weak Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, and yet look who Republicans chose not once but time and time and time again as their best and brightest.

    I will accept accountability for every (*)(*)(*)(*)-up Hillary makes in the White House and you accept accountability for every (*)(*)(*)(*)-up Trump makes, but don't blame me for who I did not vote for, and let those who did, off the hook.

    This guy is all YOURS. Own him and own his actions for the next four years.

    Sorry trump apologist. This isn't going to work. Why are you fine with a member of the NSC colluding with a foreign power who subverted our democracy? There's a word for that; traitor.

    What deal? Got any info on that?

    The FBI said nothing was wrong, and that it was normal for the type of phone call.

    So in order for this to have any truth, the FBI would have to be lying, and there would have to be some kind of deal.

    Where is it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well by all means present your evidence for this dastardly plot.

    Oh there is none?

    We have a word for that too: drivel.

    Didn't say he made a deal. I said a pvt citizen can't negotiate for one.
    I believe that will be the topic, what did those phone calls entail. If no deal negotiations took place then he has nothing to worry about.

    I take it you don't HAVE a credible source, so you resort to insults, how childish.

    That wont be easy. Democrats have far more seats up for re-election (in the Senate) than the republicans do. It's going to be tough for them not to lose seats.
    Of course it's a different story in the House because they're all up for re-election.

    Rumor has it that General David Petraeus will replace him.

    Yes folks, the same General David Petraeus who gave his mistress highly classified documents.

    You don't find it disturbing when a national security adviser gets caught lying to a Vice President? And then the Vice President repeats the lie?

    Oh and by the way....Flynn just resigned.

    2018 is closer than you think and your Incompetent-in-Chief is off to a flying start when it comes to discrediting the GOP!

    And yet, I don't hear nuclear bombs in the background. The media spun his defeat over little to nothing, but I guess the trump team felt it was a distraction.

    You forgot to add Trump to that list as he was informed of what was discussed in that conversation "weeks ago". Yep, Trump, the President, who allowed his VP to publicly deny the allegations
