David Gergen on CNN: we are witnessing a breakdown of democracy...

[Satch59]

That the GOP is getting involved in a criminal investigation is ridiculous. Sounds like the pundits are seeing right through the BS.

Gergen is pretty level headed and says the memo has no credibility.

1. Weird because just yesterday he was gushing that trump

has "the wind at his back" for the sotu.

[Kirk Lover]

7. Ok but he ain't no fan of tRUMP. n/t

[JI7]

10. I woukd like to see a video of that

[Cha]

13. I was just gonna say that. Maybe

it's an ill wind?

[marybourg]

15. He may have said that yesterday. I don't know.

But what I heard him say yesterday morning on CNN was very derogatory towards tRump and his effect on our democracy.

[JI7]

18. That's why i wanted to see a video

I have often seen people say this person daid this/that but when you actually look at the video it actually comes off differently.

[regnaD kciN]

27. Sadly, the two are not mutually exclusive...

Hitler had the wind at his back after the Reichstag fire.

If the punditry are seeing through this, but anyone in authority who could stop it has signed-on to the Trump cause, the former matters little, doesn't it?

[pnwmom]

28. That's not exactly gushing about Trump. It simply means that tomorrow night

gives Trump a lot of free publicity that he can shape as he wishes.

Which is TRUE.

[kstewart33]

34. True.

But so will everyone else in cable news if Trump can read the speech of the Teleprompter.

Gergen merits listening to because of his service directly to Repub and Dem presidents.

[dchill]

36. Yeah you may remember that, but he doesn't.

[underpants]

2. In Foxworld the contents of the memo don't matter

They've already sold them on what is in it and that it ruins the whole investigation.

[mcar]

3. He is correct

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Carlin is rolling over in his grave, he SO wanted to live to see this

in living color on his TV, the country completely breakdown into a pile of steaming SHIT because of republicans and FUCKING NOSE HOLDERS.

[RandomAccess]

16. What have you got against nose-holders?

You don't care how people FELT about a vote for Hillary, you just care about getting that vote. Are you confusing nose holder with someone who votes for OTHER than your candidate??

[BumRushDaShow]

5. Citizen's United came out in 2010

and here we are 8 years later.

[The_jackalope]

30. Bingo. And now you got laundered rubles all up in your PACs. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

31. Most definitely. nt

[Satch59]

6. I know...maybe he lacked some sleep and clear thinking yesterday...

He seemed visibly angry just now. Was also saying that during watergate, the GOP behaved like they should have: put country before party, and now the opposite. My guess is that a bunch of GOP are more than involved in this...beyond just complicent. They knew this shit was going on and did nothing.

[TheRealistRealist]

8. CNN and MSN should show a black screen when this POS speaks tomorrow..

But of course they won't.

[Skittles]

11. they are supposed to report the news

showing a black screen would be ridiculous

[Blue_true]

24. What does the reply have to do with POC?

You brought something out of right field. The poster was talking about a black tv screen with no picture, not African Americans.

[Skittles]

26. stating a fact is not condescending

laughing at your DU name might be

[Ccarmona]

9. The Pundits May See Trough This, but Trumps Base Are Ecstatic Tonight.

They see they are getting what their Dear Leader wants, and that’s all the care about.
It’s another Nail in the Coffin of Liberty & the Constitution.

[hatrack]

12. But David - didn't you just say that Shitstain "has the wind at his back"?

What's next - a pivot? Becoming "presidential"?

Asshole.

[babylonsister]

14. David Gergen on CNN said today "for the first time, wind is now at Trump's back"

This is from this morning!

[JI7]

19. Is there video of it ?

[babylonsister]

32. Wow, I have no idea. I'm so gullible.

I am!

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Putin bought the GOP.

[Dawson Leery]

20. So the wind is no longer at Trump's back?

[elmac]

22. we have been since the pervert was sworn in nt

[CanonRay]

23. The "party of Lincoln" is going to succeed

in destroying the country.

[JI7]

25. They haven't been the party of Lincoln at least since the 60s

[SharonClark]

33. Yep.

[GeorgeGist]

29. Fun fact. Gergen is well beyond his BestBy date.

Yesterday he saw Trump with the wind at his back.

[NewsCenter28]

35. I'm the guy responsible for the Gergen wind post

I saw it posted from someone on Twitter, can't remember exactly who, but someone famous enough to have hundreds of comments to his thread posting this about Gergen. Very bizarre behaviour on Gergen's part. I'll try to find the exact twitter post once I have more time and am not at work for ya!
