I have been saying the exact same thing. You will know Republicans have turned against Donald Trump only when they start calling him a Democrat.

Hasn't happened yet.

Do you ever think that Trump is playing them like a bad drum?

Two more press conferences like that and his re-election is assured.

Hannity is THE Fox representative that Trump relies on.

But Krauthammer, who is a real conservative, typically speaks the talking points, esp. about money.

But I have a thought...which is that Krauthammer sees the supremacists differently, since he is one of a group that the Nazis may have killed, or isolated, since he is disabled, even though it's from an accident. At the least, he has been on the receiving end of discrimination and prejudice, I'm sure.

You know how human nature can be sometimes. If you're not one of the privileged group, but are one of the numerous groups that would be discriminated against, you view the bigoted group differently. It's personal.

a month or so after Trump addressed black man in his crowd as 'my African American'

didn't he direct some verbage at inner cities, presumably ghettos, and say he was going
to make them safe and rid them of crime? It sounded good at the time. Now look at him.
Stoking hatred and fear and racial division, and making it unsafe for people who don't agree
with his rigid mindset.

He wants to get impeached, and no one has the guts to start the proceedings...The more he gets away with stuff the more power he will feel he has.

The only consolation is that those idiots who still support him, that remain quiet, and I am talking about the GOP politicians, will have their time when they will also taste the wheels under the bus.
