When Will Trump Realize That He Is Being Used/Played By The Repug Party?.....

Everything that Trump is doing is really what the Repug Party has wanted to do. Fortunately - with President Obama in the WH they were prevented from moving their agenda.

Now with Trump as prez - they are using him to move their agenda and they are letting Trump take the heat. We're blaming Trump for everything and he is just the 'digits' that are signing all of the Repug Party's wants.

I have two questions: 1. How long before Trump realizes he's being used? and 2. How long before the Repugs are done with him and find him expendable?

We really need to begin to channel our protests on the Repug Party.

Trump cares about two things only and this is a known fact: revenge and greed

His being prez is about revenge on Obama and stealing billions from us right in front of our faces.

He is using them, also.

Karma is a thing in my understanding, I hope to see it happen to all of them and maybe leave us a survivable world when they are gone.

I don't have the exact date he said it..but that was when he knew, and the republicans knew, they had the election in the bag..the kochs, the heritage Foundation..Cross Check..all in place with legislation to go - and voter numbers fixed....they have been working on this for eight years....the buffoon will not be challenged by republicans..

As for McCain - he said he wouldn't vote for tillerson "when pigs fly" he said...I guess he saw pigs flying...now another cab nom he says he has reservations about - white man speak with forked tongue..

The Shiny objects swirling now..total distractions....seems each day is worse than the next...to tie up investigators with a witch hunt of voter fraud.investigate Cross Check...someone paid for it..

Our Democracy is under attack...as we drift towards war.....

due any respect AT ALL.

Yes, we are going to war but trump has to buy war company stock first, right now his people are being shown what to buy so when he goes to war he will make a profit, etc.

Your children, mine, WILL die, his will not. Republicans in power their children will NOT die, but ours, yes.

are older - I came through the Viet Nam war supporting my two brothers..much protest during those years...and so many did not understand what the hell it was for..any soldier who did make it home was maligned..like it was their fault..and our govt. did nothing to quell the outrage - our family was strong and supported many soldiers - thanks to my brothers, they came home..but many more of my generation did not - plaque's at my HS, of the fallen..so young, 18-19-20-21...

This POS needs to be stopped.....my son, RET. Navy Chief - 21 years, has one more year where he could be called up, he is 48, and said Mom, I have no reason to put my uniform on..I will not fight or encourage my shipmates to fight for this POS...time will tell..

War? Drift? I hope I am wrong..

He can't take being embarrassed and will be pissed. Maybe to the point where he will want to prove the tweeters wrong.
