As the saying goes, "I didn't leave the party, the party left me." Bottom line is that I found myself in the strange position of seeing a train wreck was coming, but just couldn't get on it. I pretty quickly realized that Trump would likely win, though it seemed impossible. That he actually won POTUS position, well that was something.
I just wish he'd be the person so many thought he would. I didn't get 'it,' but truly hoped I'd have to say that I would vote for him in 2020. No, I didn't expect him to be gracious or act 'Presidential,' but did think he'd get it together enough to get things done. It may still happen, but it doesn't look like it now.
Last night a letter was released from WH in Trump's name, basically said that he hoped that the special counsel would find, as he knows is the case, that there was no collusion with his campaign and Russians and it would be done in an expedited manner.
Today he's calling it a witch hunt on twitter and whining at the unfairness of it all.

and Trump and his core should be thanking the appointment of a special counsel, no matter how feigned the thanks, that there is this chance to prove them liars.
Again, I don't think this should have happened, but one cannot be tossing crap the way Trump does and be shocked when other branches assert their 'powers,' no matter how unfair it may seem.

I didn't tell you who to vote for. You can toss that red herring out when you want. I DO have as much right to my opinion as you do yours. You can also forget THAT particular "reality" argument. Reality is you gambled with putting Hillary in office. You make some imortance of "you voted". You as well not have.
ANd if you're feeling lonely in the boat, don't. My daughter voted for the same socialist moron you did.
And if you didn't give a crap, you wouldn't bother putting them on the board.

I specified where the catcalls were coming from, not chasing your strawman. Trump certainly enjoyed getting on radio or TV to speak about those tidbits. Shocking that there are Obama supporters that harbor hostility, much like so many of Trumps supporters are getting so tired of it.
I have important reasons for wanting Trump to lead the country successfully-we all do. What I don't have is a personal reason for defending indefensible behaviors.

How is it a straw man? Dems are pushing the idea trumps election was illegitimate. No different from Birthers saying Obama's election was illegitimate. Difference is I don't remember republican members of congress and senate saying Obama was illegitimate, but today democrat members of congress and senate s imply it left and right about trump.

I think one would need to look at the type of people who made up the majority at the time of the Republican Party. They would not be applauding congressional members that acted the way Schumer, Waters, Pelosi, etc., are. That's not true of the far left. It may no longer be true of many of those now a majority or at least significant segment of the Republican Party.
I'm pretty sure that there is now a schism amongst those that consider themselves 'Republicans.' That will eventually sort itself out.

And while I agree with trumps tweet about a witch hunt, the tweeting should stop. congress should refuse to pass anything until trump closes his fucking account.

I don't like the idea of the Special Counsel because, like several people said, once they are appointed they will feel like they have to find something. However, given that one was appointed, I think Mueller is a good choice. Members of both parties are saying they respect him and he will be good.
If it does nothing more than get the investigation to come to a conclusion within a few 3 months, then I think it is a good thing.
I am conservative and support Trump, but would be fine with a fair investigation, even if it finds something terrible and even if it causes Trump to resign. I can live with that. I don't think the same can be said about Dems, though. I would bet the farm that if the investigation concludes in Trump's favor, then Dems will howl like banshees, say "it's not fair" and "its a coverup" about a million times, call for Mueller's head (even though they are praising him now), and start a new bunch of protests demanding that a new replacement special counsel be appointed. Dems are such hypocritical twits!
