I would ask how anyone can defend the indefensible, but I read it on these threads daily.

have been confounded by the White House's inability to settle on a clear strategy for

just about anything. Trump's in way over his head. Reagan was, too, but at least Reagan surrounded himself with people who did know what they were doing (though I disagreed with most). Whereas trump's surrounded himself with nasty, inexperienced sycophants like little Stephen Miller who set directions for Trump while he's busy playing golf, looking after his family businesses, and tweeting.

"There is no cohesive outside messaging.

A motto for the Trump era.

The truth doesn’t need “messaging”. That’s why all the liberal narratives keep falling apart. Now the liberals have deployed “my wingman” Eric Holder against Barr and the Durham investigation.

Really went “all in” on this. The fear is visible.

"Just tell me what it is and I'll promote it for you," said the ally, who spoke on condition of anonymity. 

Typical Trumpophile: Wulling to regurgitate whatever Donny tells them to without examining it critically. Talk about sheeple.

“Trump campaign, RNC raise staggering $125 million in third quarter”.

liberal media was so excited yesterday over Bernie and his total that was 1/5 of that. People know what is going on, trump just keep on doing what he is doing until this ultimately collapses on top of the Dems.

Then why are Donny's allies so desperate for messaging?

"Just tell me what it is and I'll promote it for you," 

The GOP's moral integrity in a nutshell.

Because liberals are using their media every day to hide or ignore anything damaging to Dems. But even fake news gets full release when it’s anti-Trump.

Then why are Donny's allies so desperate for messaging

There have been many suggestions that he moved up, by unethically competing . . . .

“Trump campaign, RNC raise staggering $125 million in third quarter”.

liberal media was so excited yesterday over Bernie and his total that was 1/5 of that.

It would be disingenuous to compare the incumbent President's fundraising with Sander's when he's just one of several candidates for the Democratic nomination. It's a false equivalency.

The “messaging” is that Dems are in big trouble. Can’t nominate Biden as you can’t trust what he will say next. (Or more pics of he and his son golfing with Ukraine gas executives or worse likely come out ).

Wall Street won’t support Warren and Uber liberal Facebook dude will sue the government if she wins. Who’s next?

The reason for the Trump administration's inaction is because they're still not sure what's going to come out next. Like a confused deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.

For all his faults Putin is generous.

Maybe Liddle Kim also pitched in along with MBS!!!

Trump cultists, 2016: We need to elect someone who isn't beholden to big business!

Trump cultists, 2019: I want big business to overrule democracy!

The Trumpers here continue to try to "raise the Trump Titanic" when its already half under water and sinking fast - just look at the huge increase if the public supporting impeachment.

The American people see in black and white what the Trumpers studiously avoid - Trump has already confessed in the transcript;

In the transcript, Zelensky asks Trump for an increase in military aid — specifically, to purchase more Javelin anti-tank missiles, useful in Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russian-backed separatists in its east.

Trump responds by saying, “I would like you to do us a favor though.”

BINGO! It's done. Stick a fork in it. Trump just confessed to abuse of authority. And now we are finding out all about the extensive cover-up and the lying by senior officials who said they weren't on the phone call, but were. Add Obstruction to the charge sheet.

Nixon was brought down by abusing authority to spy on his political opponents - and then the cover-up.

Trump will be brought down by abusing authority to smear his political opponents - and then the very clumsy cover-up.

And after ranting about Hillary's e-mail server, we'll find out all about Donnie's crimes from the transcripts on his server.

I guess there's truth in "What goes around comes around"...

But even fake news gets full release when it’s anti-Trump.

Yah, boy that Fox and friends is soooo fake challenging Levin. Get with it, Fox!! So anti-Trump!!

Cult 45 is going crazy again. As I said quite a long time ago, if the intelligence agencies can find dirt on the president if necessary, especially if what he does goes against the interest of national security... they'll take him down. Looks like Trump done crossed that line.

As usual, the cult 45'ers are putting the president above the laws of the country, above the people of the country, above the constitution of the country, and above the stability of the country... It's also known as FACISM. There is no patriotism in advocating for such a sickening un-American perspective. But carry on with your "Dem liberals" meltdown. I warned Cult 45ers that drinking the kool-aid never ends well.

Oh the horror!  Board members playing golf with company executives!  Who ever heard of such a thing?  Quite obviously this is how the deep state surreptitiously works to bring down the president of the united states.  They play golf!  How cleverly cunning.  Yes, we need more pictures of them playing golf.  Yes, more pictures and then the liberals, the commies, AOC and fake news will realise the game is up. 

Let that be a lesson to people who regularly play golf.  They are up to no good.  Who else do we know who plays a lot of golf?  These people must be exposed for what they are.

Trump is accustomed to running a private company where he can make all the decisions himself, not a government, where collaboration is key. Like an old dog cannot be taught new tricks, Trump will never change - and that will hasten his downfall.

There is no defense. Trump already released evidence of his guilt. The telephone “transcript” clearly shows Trump soliciting the Ukrainian pres to interfere in our upcoming election.

That is illegal. That is an abuse of power.

And Trump is going down for it.

actually Miller is the kind of guy you want; he can tear the press up. I think he is pretty good
